Get Your Entrecard

I think I should explain what the button you see on my right is all about. I mean the button with a face covered with sticky notes and a capital E and the words, “drop yours” at the bottom. No I am not being naughty or saying something a good boy should not say like “up yours” or anything. This is a new toy for us bloggers to play with and it is called Entrecard.

Basically, Entrecard is like some sort of Ads exchange program. You sign up, upload your 125 x 125 image, grab the codes and insert it anywhere you like in your blog. When others who are in the Entrecard network sees your button and they want to Advertise in your blog they will click the “drop yours” meaning they want drop their button in your blog and nothing else. Once you approve of them “dropping theirs” (sorry, can’t help it) their button will appear for one day. If another comes along and want to “drop theirs” too, they will join the queue.

Bear in mind, this is NOT a money making opportunity. What you get when people “drop theirs” in your blog is points. Then you can use the accumulated points to “drop yours” in other participating blogs. So in the end everyone gets some free publicity. The thrill is you get to “drop yours” in humongously popular blogs like shoemoney.com, which I got to do for free upon being invited to join, without accumulating any points. My button should be appearing for one day in shoemoney dot com by tomorrow or the day after, I think. And you know what? Shoemoney also “dropped his” in my blog! It should come live by tomorrow afternoon, so be a good sport and give him many clicks, else this blog will look very bad. LOL :-)

Hey you said that pretty well. I would make a few clarifications though.

1.) Everyone on your site who doesn’t have Entrecard sees the message “get one” instead of “drop yours”

2.) Dropping cards is quite different then buying advertising. If you drop your card in shoemoney’s blog, your card goes into his inbox, and he can check out your blog and drop a card for you. That earns you both some points. You then take those points to buy the advertisement spot on Shoemoney’s blog (or anyone else’s) for free.

Thanks for participating!

SOunds interesting. The thing is I’m just worried my blog is not as popular like yours so I’ll be forever spotting the “Get One” instead. :-P

But I will join to try out becos I need pics to elongate my right column! LOL

Thanks for the clarification! Maybe “get yours” will be more appropriate? LOL

Yes, another widget that tracks your movement from site to site. 2007 blog scene, specially the ones that talk about making money, resembles 1998’s porn site scene. However, this time we have ajax, widgets, and videos. Large sites promote traffic exchange methods and all the smaller ones fall for it but eventually it only benefits larger sites without any effort and a few smaller size that puts lots of efforts. Wonderful system. History repeats itslef.

I think it is a great idea. I also created an Entrecard Wordpress Plugin.
