I use my inbox and reciprocate the drops.

I would really like to thank all of the above people for their comments and for taking the time to answer I appreciate you sharing with me. I did very little work online this weekend and I appreciate all the visitors and apologize if I didn’t drop back on you.

I use a hodge-podge of methods. Mostly, I start from my inbox and chain from there. That way, I thank people who have dropped on me, plus I find interesting new blogs.

I also sometimes chain out of people who have visited me through MyBlogLog or BlogCatalog. Often there is cross over there.

I also try to use BlogExplosion a bit. BE randomly selects blogs for me, so it is an interesting mix. Some of them also have EC, so I get an extra payoff when that happens.

It also depends on how much time I have to explore and what else is going on.

I have about 50 bookmarked regular droppers that speed things up. I also make sure to drop on the site that’s got an ad on my blog, as well as the sites where I have an ad. I go through my inbox when I have a few minutes, but I also like to check out the newbies.

I use my Entrecard inbox as well, but to speed it up I’ve bookmarked the people who regularly appear in my inbox and this way I can simply open a bunch of sites in multiple tabs. Dropping on my top droppers and making comments takes me no time at all. Then I go to my inbox and look for all the black borders and drop on those. After that if I’m feeling like I want more credits I open up powerdroppers and start on the quickest pages, although I feel like none of them reciprocate.

I also quit doing the powerdropping thing simply because just like any dropper, I want recipro-droppers. So, I decided to make my own list - My Serious Droppers where I patiently monitor if they return the drop or not. I delete the “lazy” ones and add the potential droppers. I get them from my inbox.

Of course, the blog should not be boring and has no adult content, or should be wholesome.

Is it effective for me? Yes, it is actually overwhelming and the comments can prove it.

By the way, I think I haven’t told you that you’re no. 75 on my list.

Thanks.

I start with my stats page. From there, I go to my ads, then favorites, then finally my inbox. I start on page 1 and work my way back. If the widget isn’t within two scrolls, I don’t bother. Maybe that’s mean, but between Link Referral and Entrecard, and trying to keep one blog updated and build up two more, I just give up if I don’t see the widget in the two scroll.

I agree with you on the inbox theory. If the person took the time to drop they will be more likely to drop again!

Although saying that, I do like to chain drop as that way I come across new blogs and advertise my site at the same time.

I don’t think we should pin all of our traffic hopes on Entrecard as many of use don’t have the time to drop 300 a day!

Much the same here. I always use my inbox but I start at the beginning. I’m not a great dropper - I think I’ve only once got to 200 and that was very unusual. I try to find one or two different blogs each day, just for a change, and I visit any blog I’m considering for advertising. Like Canucklehead, I use my credits as fast as I get them and never can afford any of the biggies.

Being active is much more important that buying ads. Ads are good for one day only, forum posts last longer.
