There are many ways to find new blogs, one of my favorite ways is Entrecard. Do you use Entrecard? If so, do you have your Entrecard drop zone located near the top of your page? Do you also display a list of the top droppers on your site? If that’s the case, I want to know who you are. I’m currently building a list of sites that meet the above criteria and I would like to add yours.
If you would like to know how to implement a top dropper widget on your Blogger blog, this post right here will show you how to implement a top droppers list on your blogger blog.
What is Entrecard?
I’ll let the intro text on Entrecard explain this for me.
Entrecard is a free blogging network that truly brings visitors to your blog. By joining our network, you can earn Entrecard credits which allows you to display an ad of your blog on other blog sites within our Network.
You can see my Entrecard drop zone over in my sidebar. The graphic is another Entrecard user that has purchased the right (with EC credits) to display their ad on my drop zone.
When other Entrecard users come to visit my site, they click the ‘Drop’ link and leave me what can be called their calling card. If you don’t participate in the network, then you will see a ‘Get One’ message instead.
When visitors drop their card, they earn 1 Entrecard Credit (EC) that they can use towards the purchase of advert space on my blog or any others that participate in the Entrecard blog network. Over time, these credits can add up and you can get advertising on some very highly trafficked sites giving you a great return on the effort in my opinion.
Why Entrecard?
I use Entrecard for a few reasons. First, it helps to drive a little traffic towards my site which is always nice. Secondly, I use it to find other blogs that I may be interested in visiting again and perhaps begin participating in.
It’s another way for me to network with other bloggers as well as advertise my site a little around the Internet. Because of the way Entrecard is built, there is already an inherent comradery amongst Entrecard users that adds oil to the gears of socializing, if I can say it that way.
Premium Drop Site Link List
Due to my own time constraints, I seek out those Entrecard blogs that will give me the most bang for my buck. After a little bit of thought about what sites might be considered better than others in relation to Entrecard and my own needs, I came to the conclusion that sites that provide an easy way to drop (above the fold) and those that also display a list of links showcasing the top droppers on their site would fit the bill.
I call sites like these Premium Drop Sites.
Not only do I get the benefit of the Entrecard system, but these bloggers have made it easy, and they give a little more link love by providing a list of top droppers.
You can see the list I am building on my links page. If I find your blog fits the requirements I’ve set, then you can bet that I’m going to add you onto the list and return daily to visit you and comment on your posts if I find something to say.
Add Your Site To My List
Does your site fit the bill? Do you want a free link placed in my link list so I and other Entrecard users can find your blog and know that you care about them by providing a little more link love than usual? Just leave me a comment below to let me know. I’ll check out your site and add your site to my list if it meets my requirements.
Also leave a little descriptive text that you want following your link also. It’s not required, but will help describe your site to others.
Of course, it is at my discretion to add your link too. If you have questionable content, you will get questionable results from me.
Already On My List?
My list started with the current top droppers on my list, and not all of the existing links on there meet the requirements, but I visit them anyway. Some are very good blogs and people behind them. Being that I will probably never be able to do 300 drops per day, which is the max drops one can do per day, there’s plenty of room for a few rebels.
I constantly find new blogs to add to my list without you asking for it. If you happen to see your link on the list and would like to add a little descriptive text after it, just leave a comment with the text that you would like to follow your link with and I’ll add it in!
I guess I should say that if you want your link removed (I don’t know why you would) simply let me know with a comment below.
In The End
My list will ultimately be a list of sites that I regularly drop on. I may not comment every time since there may not be a new post, but I try to when I have time.
I’m looking forward to seeing your blog, so let me know your address! And oh, for those that have actually read this far, if you refer another blog that also meets the requirements, I’ll give you 100 EC credits as a thank you. I’m setting the amount low to ensure I don’t run out of coin, but I will limit this to 50 people so that I can do another contest later on with bigger amounts.

Hey Wayne,
This is a good idea, and should also save you some time.
You could even use Google Chrome to build a group of sites you drop on in your bookmarks. Click on the folder containing the bookmarks and selct open group (or something similar – i’m at work now and don’t have chrome here) to open all the sites in one fell swoop.
I have a drop box at the top right of my page, and a top droppers widget too, so please feel free to drop like hell on me whenever you feel like it!
Hi Jane, good to hear from you! Thanks for the award, I haven’t seen that one yet. I’ll have a post for it very soon as I seem to have misplaced my awards page…hmm…

Hey, thanks for already having me on your list. That was a nice surprise. The thing that I love about Entrecard is that I find sites that are actually worth commenting on–like this one.

Amazing way to give some link love.
