Entrecard

It took me a little while to finally sign on over at Entrecard and boy was I missing a great opportunity! Since signing up, dropping a few cards, my traffic has more than doubled and I haven’t even placed my first ad yet. I have had my membership for a little over 24 hours now and I have had 48 visitors from Entrecard and 14 people have lined up to place ads on my site. I have earned 87 credits to apply towards advertising on other sites. I think I am going to save them up until I have around 1000 and I will try a little ad campaign and see what it does for my traffic. So here is my plan;

1. I will try and place one ad on a high profile blog that fits my niche and place ads on several smaller sites so that all of the ads will show on the same day.
2. Time it with a renewed offer for free plugs on the site if you subscribe to my RSS feed.
3. Hopefully I will have some other good things to offer, maybe a little contest.

The goal is to grab traffic and hopefully keep it. I would like to get the site up to a sustainable 100 uniques per day. The only way that they will stay though is if I can give them something good to read on a regular basis. I am still working on that and hopefully in the next few days I can get the site right so that people will want to stay longer and read the blog instead of giving it a passing glance.
Well that is what I am going to try and do, and if you haven’t joined Entrecard yet then go ahead and try them out. I can almost guarantee you will be happy with the results. I would also like to thank all of the advertisers who have lined up to advertise on my blog. One last thing (this is for all of you that have taken the time to read this post) if you comment on this post and then place an ad request on Entrecard for my site, I will give you half of the credits back when the ad runs! I think the queue is full for placing an ad on my site but once you place a comment on my site I will start looking for you to place your ad (it wouldn’t hurt my feelings if you subscribed to my RSS feed either).
Good luck blogging!
