I've dropped about 25 to 30 cards in the last hour.I did a search in Google for Internet and Computer with Entrecard. (my niche).True that the time spent on the sites stat will be skewed, but that can be taken in when looking at stats.I can say that I've found a few good blogs that I'll come back to like yours. So I'd say that Entrecard is definitely a good thing. In fact I'm adding Technically Easy to my blogroll. I also have just joined Entrecard 2 days ago.

But I read so many articles by other bloggers teaching bloggers how to exploit the system. One blogger claims he drops 50 cards daily. Some have formed rings routes with the sole goal of stacking up Entrecard points. I think it takes away from bloggers posts. I find that if a blogger focuses on their blogs and network with other bloggers the traffic will come. Techie Guy

I took time off to move and find a new job and now I'm down to C-list but getting back up again. Measured by blogebrity and the ton of spam I was getting asking me to run ads on my site.I don't understand (or just don't think it matters) that point you made. If it is all free what does it matter about traffic strength. It all goes by what you get back in card dropping. That seems fair enough to me. Anyone having a problem about how A-list bloggers are treated just sounds silly and elitist to me. I’ve had an A-list blog.

I think it's great that so-called A-Listers blogs may cost less than some newbies. That's the way the cookie crumbles. If people prefer dropping cards on the newbies, then so be it. I was in the top ten for the bloglog contest, and my blog is relatively new.I do enjoy the traffic boost and the exposure. I'm not the greatest at marketing my blog, though I know the content is great. Now my traffic and subscribership might finally start to reflect its true value (in my humble opinion).Theda K.

So far though, I like it. I have already found some blogs in my niche (and other niches) that provide good reading. If not careful, I could see myself spending too much time on Entrecard and not enough time on my blog. I just joined Entrecard today, so it is too early for me to tell. So far though, I like it.

Not only will it help with traffic, but also audience as well. I can see your points for the bad and you’re right, for smaller blogs, it’s nice to feel as if you’re getting more exposure.

Just keep posting, and dropping cards, and you'll see what I mean.

Do come back again.I never thought any A-listed blogger like John Chow would accept a bid from a smaller blogger like me. I read many horror stories about how the so called A-listed bloggers would canceled even though they've accepted the advertising in the first place. That's why I couldn't be bothered after placing an advertising bid on John Chow. But I was wrong about John Chow. He's truly the people's blogger. And not like some who suddenly become thick headed, rejecting many who want to advertise on their blog.Anyway, I've yet to see any stats. I hope to reach about 100 new readers per day, ;-)See you around Techie Guy. Greetings and lots of love from Malaysia.~ <a href="http://arahman7.blogspot.com/">ArahMan7</a> Hola Techie Guy!
