Thanks Solomon. I decided to try the Entrecard today. I still don’t understand it and now I just had an email saying to approve someone to advertise on my card??

If you go yo Entrecard.com, and then click on Dashboard, you’ll see a list on the right hand side of people wanting to advertise. Just click approve or deny.

Good for you for standing up for yourself. And for continuing to grow and change; it’s good to be able to be thankful you aren’t the person you were a year ago.

Thank you. I’ve spent 26 years letting people walk all over me. I think it’s about time I started defending my right to exist for a change.

Life is too short to take threats, harassment, or any kind of B.S. from others.

You are absolutely, 100%, correct.

I wanted to ask you about the Entrecards. I see them on a lot of sites. Does it increase your traffic? Is it just one of those things where people come by but don’t really read your stuff? Just curious.Thanks.

The bounce rate (how many people view the ad and not the rest of the site) is pretty high, but one thing I’ve noticed is that I get an awful lot more Google traffic now. Part of Google’s ranking system is how many links there are from other people’s sites to yours. If you advertise on a lot of sites, then you get a lot of inward links, which increases your rank in Google.

In and of itself, Entrecard traffic isn’t worth much. People come by, drop the card, and go. Your page hits will go way up, but you probably wont get many more comments. However, like I said, it’s great for enhancing your Google rank. People searching for your site are “worth more” because they are looking for something specific you’re offering. If you have a shop, and 2 customers come in, the one who travelled there specifically to get a carton of milk is worth more than the one who was just walking past and decided to pop in because of the pretty sign outside.

I hope that makes sense.

I don’t bother dropping cards any more, and just use the credits I get from allowing people to advertise here to advertise on other blogs. It’s pretty passive, but even so, I’ve had a huge upsurge in people Googling in. About 6-7x as much, in fact.
