Entrecard Tactics

This is the second blog that I have used Entrecard with. My other blog is a journal of my journey through making money online. I have dropped a lot of cards. Tried all the methods and observed how others have used their cards.

One thing I am trying with this blog is sending the Entrecard traffic to specific posts. The only problem with that is eventually, if I have regular droppers, they may assume that they were landing on my home page and never update my blog. So for now, I am rotating posts.

I am considering creating a special fast loading page so that I can get on the Power Dropping list. But those mainly just catch easy drops. Some don’t even present any of the content of the site you are visiting. A page with two widgets should work though. The Entrecard widget and a feed widget.

For those of you who want someone else to create an Entrecard for you, go no further than Funk13. He created my card and saved me a lot of time.

I started chain dropping Entrecards. This involves loading a few Entrecard blogs in a browser and dropping cards on them. Then visiting each of their advertisers and repeating the same process until I ran out of sites.

Now my process is a little more complex:

I use Safari to drop cards. It was a toss up between Safari and Opera. Safari has basically become my Entrecard software. It’s all I use it for. I have all Entrecard related bookmarks in it. I did this because I normally use Flock with a lot of addons for regular browsing. It loads way too slow, but I need those tools for other things. So I only drop cards in Entrecard.
I open the feed of everyone who dropped on me. Then holding the Ctrl button down, I click them all, right down the list. This will open up each in a new tab. These links used to go to the user’s page on Entrecard. Now it goes directly to their blog.
I drop on all the reciprocal droppers I can find. They promise to drop on you if you drop a card on them. I actually did that for the first time last night and the results are great. I just started Entrecard on this blog yesterday and have had 52 drops on my card since yesterday.
If I have any time, I start Power Dropping. I load the fastest loading Entrecard sites 30 at a time and click their cards. I am not so sure I will be going this far any more with two blogs.
