Will The Entrecard System Survive Without Blogger?
I can’t believe how many Google free blogs are in the Entrecard system and I never really paid much attention until Google went down right after Entrecard started working again after the fire. I think well over half of the blogs that were in my inbox were free blogs. So I had to search for blogs to drop on that weren’t connected with Google and that was a pain.
I can understand why certain bloggers don’t see the need to pay for their own domain, but people that are trying to convince other bloggers that they know how to make money online should certainly know better. Now who is going to listen to any marketer that can’t even afford to pay for hosting? Certainly not me, I can be naive at times, but I’m certainly not stupid.
What would happen if blogger blogs went away? Would Entrecard have to start all over again or would they have enough blogs in the system to carry on? I’m not an expert about EC so I have no idea. I have 2 free blogger blogs, but I don’t use them they were simply to practise on when I first started out and they only have articles on them that I bought a long time ago.
I can’t say I’m any where close to being a good blogger, but at least I do try to keep my blog updated unlike many blogs I drop on that always have the same post showing and I can see that they have dropped on me almost everyday or quite frequently so they certainly had time to throw up a simple post of some sort.
I know people go on vacation and bad things might keep them off line for awhile, but why in the world would they take the time to drop on blogs if they are not even going to update their blog? If I’m away for an indefinite period of time I surely wouldn’t make time to drop EC’s. I feel bad when I don’t update at least every other day.
I know on weekends I usually let it slide because I’m busy and I know others have a life outside of the Internet also. I am seriously thinking about not dropping on any blog that doesn’t update at least once a week. Sure you might get my visit, but you wont get the EC credit and stay popular. I usually drop from 3 blogs so that usually means 3 votes for you. Well, I have to run so have a good evening and happy dropping.
