You may have noticed that I recently signed up for Entrecard. Entrecard is a service that allows me to 'drop' a virtual business card on other peoples sites and blogs who are also part of the Entrecard network. It's been a great way for me to find new blogs and drive traffic to my site, all at the same time.
This is my current Entrecard. I felt direct and too the point is good for right now. Since my biggest asset is a group of training posts, I felt I should try to get the word out to other Blogger users so that we can get some more ideas for posts coming in.
When I visit a site, if they have signed up with Entrecard and have installed the widget onto their site, I'll drop my card. This will then show that I stopped by, much like the MyBlogLog shows who the recent visitors to my blog were. However, I can also go to the Entrecard admin screen to find other blogs that I might want to advertise on.
You'll see a new blog on my Entrecard widget each and every day as long as people are interested in advertising their blog here. Thank you to those that have chosen to so far! I'm pretty intrigued by what comes crawling out of the deeper parts of the Internet to greet me sometimes, but I give all a fair stab at advertising on my blog.
These are people that have paid me with Entrecard credits (digital funny money specific to Entrecard) to have their graphic displayed on my blog. I can also do the same, and I have.
I'm still learning and using Entrecard, and one side benefit is that I ultimately see quite a few new blogs each and every day. I felt that was pretty cool since I'm really spending a little time trying to promote my blog by dropping my card everywhere there is an Entrecard widget.
Thank you Entrecard Visitors
If you use Entrecard, why not leave a comment with a link to your blog? I'll add you to my list of sites that I visit to drop and I'll comment on yours where I feel I can add value to you. You just need to let me know you're alive and kicking...
Try it out?
If you have been sitting on the fence about Entrecard, why get off yer butt and start it up today? By the end of this week, I know you'll see and increase in traffic as I have. You just need to start.
How do you find new blogs? You can see I started with Entrecard and MyBlogLog to help me find new blogs. What has been your experience with these if you have used them, or currently use them?
