If someone doesn’t know – EntreCard is a social network for bloggers that supposed to help building traffic to your blog. The way it works – you “drop” your card into the EntreCard widget on any site you see it (look in the dark sidebar to the right on my blog) and get credit for it. The owner of the site where you dropped card will also get credit for it and your banner will appear on his EntreCard member dashboard. He may return the favor and visit your site.

After you generate some credits (you also have an option to purchase credits directly from EntreCard) you can use it to buy one-day banner ad on the website of your choice. The prices for these ads are determined by how many people are paid and waiting for theirs turn to display the banner. Also every website owner have an option to decline any ads.

Ideally this system should work and if used properly could generate quality targeted traffic. The problem is – not every one understands meaning of Targeted Quality Traffic…

I just had to let this one out!

I recently joined EntreCard Viral marketing program (look on a little widget in the narrow sidebar). As any other traffic exchange program it’s pretty much useless in order to bring you quality targeted visitors, but can help a little bit to generate some initial traffic.

To find some relevant sites I looked over the list of categories with numbers of blogs submitted. No surprise there – by far the largest number of blogs is listed in category “Making Money Online”. I guess John Chow and Jeremy Shoemoney should watch out – new generation is coming!

So… I visited some of those websites in case I would need to chose where I would like to have my banner displayed. Sadly enough about 95% of those sites are worthless…

Just to give you a clue one of those so called “gurus” suggest to “…write quality content for 5 websites within 3 days…” Can I have some of that good $**t he is smoking??? (more…)
