Here are the tips to get more inbox drops count without spending too much EC credits on advertising.

1. First of all, the basic rule to get more visits from Entrecard is to return drops on all your Inbox cards. This is the most basic way. Try to drop at least 300 drops a day. Give highest priority on returning inbox drops followed by high popularity blogs, most advertised blogs, and etc.

2. Take part in Entrecard Forum and write recommendations on other blogs that will increase organic clicks from Entrecard to you.

3. Concentrate on “Most Advertised” blogs and “Most Popular” blogs to buy your ads. Remember, if a site have high popularity ranking, doesn’t mean that it will refer good number of clicks to us. Only most advertised sites with good popularity ranking can deliver good return on our advertisements.

4. Have “Top Droppers” dofollow widget visible above or below Entrecard widget on your blog. Page rank concern droppers are dying to get a spot in this widget. This encourages others to drop more to get top ranking. Rewarding those in your top droppers each month by giving a permalink, EC Credits, etc will bring more returning droppers.

5. Make sure you get at least 300+ drops without any advertising running for you. If you have reach this level, buy one advertising slot with popularity ranking above 2500 (grab if the value is 1024EC). Just one advert per day will do. Continue to do this for every single day. You will see huge difference from 10th day onwards.

Top 10 Entrecarders are getting more than 500 drops each day. If you want to be in this list, try to get at least 500 drops a day for 5 days consequently, as the popularity ranking figure is the total number of drops a blog gets for 5 days.

Entrecard has just sent out an e-mail to all the ECers about new ways to earn Entrecard credits! Let’s take a look a what’s new:

Buy Entrecard Credits
Now, you can buy ECs directly from Entrecard! This long awaited feature is finally here, as users have been waiting months for this to come back! This will make it a lot easier to buy ECs than having to search for a user. Another plus is you know it’s a trustworthy source. So many users have been ripped off money from scammers, and now you can get it directly from Entrecard itself! The down side? It costs more than the typical selling prices of users. 1000 ECs is $9.50.



There is a maximum limit to the total amount of ECs sold more day as well, so for the first few days they’ll definitely sell out quick. Who knows, they could be sold out every day for weeks! The new feature hasn’t even been on for an hour and already it is selling out. I guess trustworthiness is more valuable than price for the ECers!

Update: Less than one hour of releasing the buy credits option, and they have already sold out for today!
Update #2: It looks like they’ve decided to put more credits up for sale because of the quick sell out!
Update #3: In less than 10 minutes of update 2, they have sold another 20,000 ECs. Crazy!
Update #4: Looks like they are stopping the madness and not adding more ECs, check back tomorrow!
Update #5: 40K ECs are available for purchase, 10 minutes later.

Earn ECs for Posting on Your Blog
This is a really interesting new feature, and I did not see it coming. Entrecard wants to encourage users to blog frequently by giving you ECs for posting! Earn 25 ECs for a new post, and you can earn this once every three days. This is a nice EC boost and you can earn it by doing what you should be doing regularly anyways- updating your blog! Hey, maybe their will be less blogs that don’t offer new content but continue dropping anyways. The flaw in this is that the new post is automatically fetched via the blog’s RSS feed, meaning the new post isn’t monitored. Spam blogs can just post gibberish/more spam and receive 25 ECs.

Earn ECs for Posting on Entrecard’s Blog
Do you read Entrecard’s Blog? It has slowed down lately, but it seems Graham is making an effort to start updating it a lot more frequently. He’s encouraging users to guest blog on the Entrecard Blog, and receive ECs in return! The more helpful and better quality your post is, the more ECs you’ll receive as compensation. You could get up to 2,000 ECs!

I still don’t prefer to use the toolbar as there is no option for Inbox drops ordered in date. At least we can open 10 sites at once (or 50 sites at once by clicking 5 times, make sure the red button disappear before clicking again, if not it will open the same pages again). With toolbar, we able to do 300 drops limit a day faster than before. This is like hardcore entrecarders dream come true.

Surely, there will be another huge bump in traffic online after introducing Entrebar. I still prefer to use Quantcast than Alexa to check my traffic status. Maybe, I will remove the Alexa widget if it still ignoring Entre traffic.



However, there are a few upgrades that needed to be added in this new time saving toolbar:

- Sorting date option for Inbox drops.
- Don’t open dropped page again
- Showing Popularity ranking for each page

What is your recommendation? Share it here.

Okay so Entrecard just made a huge move that is sure to start bringing them a boat load of money. They just launched a self-service ad network for the blogosphere, using their existing base of tens of thousands of blog publishers as participants. I gotta say, it’s pretty bad ass.

Entrecard, for those who don’t know, is a widget network for bloggers. These widgets display 125×125 display ads of other member blogs. Bloggers use Entrecard because it’s one of the best ways for a small to medium size blogger to build their blog. Basically you earn virtual money and then spend it to

•advertise on any blog in the network,
•buy blogging related products and services in the Entrecard Market ,
•hold contests and giveaways, etc.
In addition, just by being a member, you get traffic from their highly trafficked blog directory and thousands of members using their firefox toolbar ( kind of like the stumble toolbar, but only for blogs, and it lets you advertise on any blog with just a click). It’s basically everything you need to grow a blog from the ground up and its completely free. That’s why their growth over the last year is so huge.




Entrecard Ad Network open for business
So I just got pinged by Graham Langdon, the CEO of Entrecard, about their latest move. They have taken 50% of their 125×125 ad inventory inventory across the network, ( that’s a lot of impressions), and opened up a self service ad network.

Just to give you an idea of the inventory we’re talking here, here is the Entrecard blog network, measured against a monster blog like TechCrunch:


Traditionally, the Entrecard network has only been open to bloggers, but now with their ad network, they’re opening it up to third parties who adhere to these terms. This is good news to everyone who just wants to blast an ad across all of their tens of thousands of blogs. The rates are pretty good too: 60 cents CPM across the whole network or target a specific category for $1.20 CPM. That’s a pretty sweet deal, and any blogging related product/tools/services are sure to do really well because its such a highly targeted niche.

You can sign up as an advertiser here and login here .

A new way for bloggers to make easy money
The coolest thing about their new ad network is what they’re doing with the money. They’re passing 75% (yes, thats seventy five percent) of the revenue from their ad network back to the members by cashing out their credits so Entrecard members can make some serious money. Right now, they’re cashing out credits for $1.00 per thousand, but Graham says that within a few weeks they’re going to move it up into the $3 range.

The cool thing about this is that there are so many ways to earn credits. You can earn credits by

•“dropping” on other blogs (basically visiting them and tagging their widget)
•publishing on your blog
•having other members “drop” on you (visit your blog and tagging your widget)
•selling products and services in their market (people sell web hosting, graphic design, wordpress plugins and all sorts of things)
•selling advertising on your blog
•winning contests / giveaway
So aside from launching a kick-ass self service ad network for the blogosphere, they’ve also launched a new and unique way for bloggers to make money -participating in a real virtual economy. Rock and roll.
