Advertise on Big Name Blogs for Free
EntreCard is a newly launched free advertising exchange network catered to the blog community. I discovered it from reading Tyler’s review.
The great thing about this advertising exchange network is because big name bloggers like John Chow, Shoemoney, Problogger.net and Joel Comm are using it. Which means you can get an ad on these big blogs for free.
The dashboard is clean and simple. You have the choice to approve or disapprove an advertiser. The dashboard also shows the advertisers that have bought your ad slot using credits and people who have dropped their cards on your blog.
According to Tyler, there are three ways to earn credits:
1. When somebody drops a card to you.
2. When you drop your card to somebody.
3. When somebody purchases an advertising spot from you.
The only issue I have on this is people might visit your blog just to drop a card which makes the traffic pretty much useless. Well, I’m keeping my hopes up. Let’s see how well it brings in traffic. You should try it too.
Oh by the way, don’t forget to drop your cards on my blog so that we can both earn credits. 
Popularity: 7% [?]
I think that people coming to your site to drop there card is just an added bonus. The real benefit is the 125×125 ad space that you can buy for free on blogs like john chow.
Hmm. Good point. Although it’s pretty hard to get an advertisement on Chow since his slot is always full. I guess you really have to keep a close count on chow’s slot availability.
Wow. I just read how your traffic spiked from Entrecard. Good job!
[...] EntreCard is a newly launched free advertising exchange network catered to the blog community. If you are a member you get to upload a 125×125 image which represents you and your blog. Its part advertisement and part business card. I got acquainted with this new service though McBilly’s blog post. [...]
Interesting. I’ll try it but first I need to make an image to upload for the card hmm..
Yeah. The image is the most important factor in being successful with this program, so better make it look good.
Drop me a comment here if you’ve already joined so that we can exchange cards. Ayt?
Already joined. I’ll drop the card after pressing the Submit
Thanks sylv3rblade. I’ve also dropped my card to your site. Great transaction. Haha.
Hey McBilly. Thanks for the encouragement. hehehe. I’ve just dropped my card to your site.
I’m glad you found my post encouraging, Charles. Thanks for the support bro. By the way, I like what you did with your 125×125 banner. Complete with your description, picture and domain name.
I’ve dropped my card to you and also bought an advertising slot to get you started.
I can’t think of any banner eh and It’s kind of a rush to make one. hehehe
Great review. I will definitely be checking this out soon.
Thanks Gyutae. I’ve been getting some increase in my unique visitors for the past several days of installation. So I highly recommend trying it out.
I got encouraged by people who talk about Entrecard and how it’s much better than Blogrush. Hope you drop by at my site too and drop yours.
Entrecards!!! I’ll drop mine if you’ll drop yours.
Sure woobie. Thanks for dropping your card here. Consider mine dropped.
i’ve read about entrecard last week but didn’t pay much attention because i thought it was sort of like blogcatalog or mybloglog…but i’ll reconsider it…
Yeah cyberpunk. You should try it out. I’ve already seen an increase in my daily uniques because of it. Unlike blogrush which didn’t really work well for me.
This is pretty cool, I’ve gotten a fairly good spike in traffic from it, the only thing I have against it, is that I read/figured out, that most of the people coming to your blog via entrecard,are very short visiters, because they’re just coming to drop their card, and not to actually browse.
Any experience with that?
Tyler
Hi Tyler. I’ve experience some increase in traffic from entrecard. But like you said, the bounce rate of visitors is kinda high because most of the visitors are just coming in to drop their cards.
But fear not. Some of them actually stay. You just have to give them some reason to come back.
Goodluck on that buddy.
