How To Use Entrecard Effectively Without Resorting to Drop Sites

Wednesday, April 23rd, 2008

This may seem like the most obvious to some, but other Entrecard users might be “surprised” at this twist to visiting other people’s blogs and dropping cards.

Log into your own Entrecard account.

Using either the cards shown across the top or even starting with a current advertiser, right click on the card and open that site’s information in a new window (you could even just visit your own blog and start there, but logging into Entrecard is fastest).

Then (remember you are in a “new window” at this point), click on the link out to that particular blog. Find the Entrecard widget and drop your card.

NOTE: LEAVE THAT CURRENT BLOG OPEN IN YOUR BROWSER! Later you can revisit it to comment, but at a minimum you will allow the window to be open long enough to help NOT penalize the blog owner (read up on “bounce rates” to learn what I mean). Be kind :)

Leave the window OPEN and RIGHT click on the current advertiser who’s card is showing on that widget.

(Highly suggested: Use Firefox and make sure your newly visited sites will open in a new TABBED window or use the RIGHT CLICK method above.)

Drop your card on this next site and click on the advertiser doing his or her thing on this new widget.

Once you get a rhythm going, it’s easy to go from blog to blog to blog. If you “get stuck” (and you will every now and then), just start the process over with a new choice from your dashboard or under CAMPAIGN.

This way you don’t keep visiting the same ones over and over (unless you really want to), and get to add numerous visits quickly and easily.

Here’s another suggestion that really is well worth your time and (no) trouble:

As you close the Tabbed Windows one by one, take a look around and see if there isn’t something you’d like to put your two cents in about… in other words leave a comment!

It’s sort of amazing how few people are really using Entrecard to its greatest advantage. A quick, simple, super easy way to FIND WAYS TO COMMENT on other people’s blogs. You won’t always get a “follow” link, but you’ll be doing yourself and your blog/website a huge favor in terms of word of mouth advertising about YOU.

So let’s recap:

1. Drop Entrecards efficiently
2. Comment for personal name branding
3. Comment for backlinking

Do this each day for 5-10 minutes and you’ll have 100s if not 1000s of backlinks for yourself in a very, very short amount of time!

Enjoy!

Saturday Fun Post – Are You Smarter Than a 10 Year Old?

Saturday, April 19th, 2008

Every now and then you just have to sit back, stop “working,” and have a bit of fun. While traveling the blog circuit this morning, I came across one that is just that… pure fun!

Virtual Me posted a “Are You Smarter Than a 10 Year Old?” and funny enough out of the 50 some comments also everyone was stumped lol!

Here’s the question and the drawing:

Which way is the school bus traveling ?

Right or left ?

You don’t see the difference?

Look carefully at the picture if you are having a hard time.

Then scroll down for the answer and the “why.”

ANSWER:

The bus is going LEFT because the school bus door is not visible :)

Did you get it right?

Have a fun weekend!

Better Health For You – Our Review of Top Secret eBook

Saturday, April 12th, 2008

It’s odd to deviate from a regular (or not-so-regular) “marketing” post to tell you about something Scott and I each bought and find highly interesting.

First let me ask, have you seen our new blog? Fat Loss & Fat Burning, if yes great! If not, we started it off with a product that has opened our eyes even wider than they were originally.

The information inside this book starts slowly. It is a long document for an ebook, and the first say 16 or 17 pages covers stuff you might find yourself saying, “Well I know that!” (and maybe admitting while you “know” it, you might not be “doing it”).

But then it really takes off, ramming home facts about health and getting healthy and why we really are one of the obese countries in the world. Yes, you get tons of information about the colon and even if you think you know everything about the colon we think you will still be amazed. Then, during all the inflow of information, you also have the opportunity to follow all these links out for out-on-the-web further clarification; you’re almost glued to your seat (and truly no pun intended).

Okay, we’d better stop here… We’d love to tell you in detail every single piece of information you’ll find in Top Secret Secret Fat Loss but that certainly would not be fair to the author who does an outstanding job.

Just know that “they” say, “Death begins in the colon.” While we are not doomsayers, sometimes some of us need a bit of reminding to really take care of ourselves.

For better health, and natural weight loss, the information in Top Secret Secret Fat Loss is well worth the $37 (we actually paid $57 for the “Elite” version).

There’s an iron clad guarantee with this informational ebook. But we’re willing to bet you will not feel like returning this one.

In fact, if you look to your right just about now, you’ll see the graphic that will take you over to information you can read and make up your mind about. “Enjoy!”
