Buy Me A Ferrari

Another great source of traffic for both of my blogs has been Entrecard. An idea where you can swap virtual business cards, to other site owner in the form of 125×125 buttons.

Other members of Entrecard see your button on the Entrecard website and click through to drop their own card into your Entrecard dashboard.

Dropping your card on another blog with Entrecard installed earns you one credit and someone else dropping their card onto your dashboard also gives you a credit.

Now, these credits can be spent on advertising on other people’s Entrecard, not only this, but now they have implemented a shop where people sell various things like graphic design, templates, raffle tickets and more.

Does Entrecard bring me decent traffic?

Every time I begin to talk about Entrecard to other bloggers, whether it be on message boards or on MSN it always leads to a discussion as to whether the traffic from Entrecard brings decent traffic or not.

First of all, it does bring a lot of traffic to your blog, especially if you become popular on Entrecard. However, does this mean that the people who visit are visiting to read my posts or whether they are just coming to drop their card.

Whether or not it is decent is very much debatable but one thing can be said; Entrecard should still boost your Alexa rank a bit as visitors are visitors, doesn’t really matter whether they’re reading your content or not.

I personally always try to read at least the two most recent articles on the blogs I drop my card on - sometimes I find some decent stuff too. Unfortunately I can’t say whether or not people are doing the same in return. I’d like to say they were but there’s no way I’d bet my bank balance on it!

What do you think? Are you visiting from Entrecard? If so, thanks for actually reading some of my stuff - really do appreciate it. Leave a comment and let me know.
