Entrecard TipsA lot of bloggers are using special blog communities to promote their blog and establish realtionships with other bloggers. This is also what Entrecard is about.

What Is Entrecard Exactly?

It is a blogging network that let’s you promote your blog through dropping e-cards. In turn it gives you credits which you can use to advertise on other web sites. It also has a forum and lets you send messages to other people thus is more social.

Since Entrecard is widely used to promote startup blogs I thought of providing useful tips that help you get the most out of it.

Tips For Entrecard Users

Some Entrecarders might have heard about a few of these tricks but I am certain some of these ideas are new even to them:

  • Put your Entrecard widget at the bottom of your page or at least not directly at the top of the web site, you might even hide it a little bit. Because people need to scroll down to get to the widget there is a higher chance of them reading your articles.
  • This is a bit unethical, but just a little bit. Use the smaller 127×148 widget instead of the larger one. By doing so people are more likely to accidentally click on your widget while trying to click the drop button. Further this will increase the Entrecard credits paid for advertising on your blog.
  • Do not only drop cards in your niche. I found out that by dropping in more social niches like personal blogging you receive a lot more traffic. This is probably because of the fact that people tend to be greedy (at least in my niche, i.e. internet marketing) and look upon you as a competitor.

For the ones under us who don’t want to spend too much time dropping cards there is also a good post on speed dropping at What huh studios.
