Things I’ve Learned With Entrecard..and chop sticks

July 17, 2010

 

1. They do not always police things now do they?
2. If someone says download this to your computer to make you drop faster- DON’T DO IT! Unless you want to spend a day uninstalling malware.
3. Some of those quick drop sites do work. Thank goodness for the people who run these that update and check the sites out, unlike maybe Entrecard.
4. If you like to check out  new sites on Entrecard by using the ‘campaign’ tab, be very weary if the site does not have a unique blog button.
5. MANY of those SEO/Marketing sites on Entrecard have Alexa rankings in the very high numbers. Now why is that?
6. Many of those ‘make money now’ sites have ‘donate’ buttons on their sidebar.
7. Like many entrecarders, I like Adgetize. However, is it really worth going through the trouble of clicking only to make 35 cents?
8. Watch your page tabs as they load for jumps and malicious loading. The sooner you can X them out the easier your life will be.
9. Despite all of the junk that goes around on entrecard, you can really get a lot of traffic, which is why they are still around.
10. Write reviews of other sites on entrecard? Why? We should be writing reviews of entrecard and  their other ideas such as gambling (um…not legal in the US).
11. You can meet a lot of good people via dropping entrecards.
12. You can see a lot of ‘fly by night’ bloggers via dropping entrecards.
13. Why do people abandon blogs?
14. That individual who caused all of that ruckus earlier in the year (leading to a mass exodus, threats of lawsuits, and general bad will throughout the community) doesn’t even keep up his blogs or seem to drop any more. Guess he made his millions and left.
15. Everybody wants you to post their stuff ‘above’ the fold. While that is not always possible, if you’ve only have  ’junk’ up there, why not put your widget there instead. You’ll get more drops- I guarantee it.
16. More drops= More hits=More Traffic. Are you using Adsense?
17. You will most likely NEVER make enough money blogging to justify the consumption of productive time spent doing it. Face it.
18. Someone on the approval committee seems to not have a problem with sex-like and it’s subcategories. Have you noticed some of the new sites?
19. I love my mommy blogging friends but, they are the WORST droppers.
20. Droppers come and go and sometimes come back. A few I know who left during the late spring malware exodus say they miss the traffic and the friends they made.
21. Face it, there will always be ‘ghost dropping’. Move on.

I used to drop between 200 and 300 cards a day but then my son was born and I just don’t have that kind of time anymore. Hopefully someday soon I’ll get back to it.

Cheers :-)

I wish I have a diamond on my finger! The only thing sparkling from where I am now is my husband’s white-teeth *lol* But I think I’m okay with that rather than him having a shiny pate.
I have stopped using Entrecard myself but it’s still on display in my other blog.
Enjoy the rest of the weekend.

You have a lot of good points in this post; particularly about hte blogs with cobwebs and 6 months of dust on them. I have indeed “met” a number of terrific people via Entrecard that I never would have come across otherwise. Yes dropping can be tedious, but it’s a great way to score some free advertising. I think my biggest pet peeve would be those little pop up bubbles that block the bar with an ad when you try to drop on an Ecard widget (grr). It is, however, easily solved by clicking that little X in the top right corner (usually followed by the statement, too bad so sad – no drops for you putz-O ;o)

I agree that this was written by a 12 year old. What amazes me is that I can post some VERY lame memes yet we still get over 50 people playing every week. Go figure. I think this dude wrote ever cliche questions in the universe. I think your meme for MM ought to be interesting. Oh and I hate the captcha phrase thing… :)

Ghost dropping and malware in Entrecard. I love entrecard but I am not an active ec dropper anymore because of the malware and virus from the different entrecarders that almost crashed our computer. I dropped entrecard when I do my adgitize. Atleast in adgitize you get your adgi ads payment back if you just drop everyday. So, for me dropping in adgitize is worth it. Thanks for sharing your thoughts Harriet.

I freakin’ love Cartman. The episode where he says “No kitteh! This is mah pot pie!” kills me every time. (yeah, that’s a way old one).

I think I need to start watching SP again, it’s been a while.

When I joined entrecard, I use to drop above 100 everyday. But now I know is not worth it, check your bounce rate if you use GA, Avg. Time on Site from entrecard, mine is less than 56 seconds!

I really slacked in the past couple of months on the dropping. I get scared of getting a virus from it. Not sure if its worth the dropping.

Hope you are having a great Sunday :)
