The Entrecard Effect
Haven’t heard of Entrecard? Here is a brief description of what to expect from this social blogging tool:
Entrecard is the first and only free exchange network for 125×125 ads. Through this revolutionary platform, you can advertise your own 125×125 Entrecard on any blog in the network, for free, for a number of days.
Since installing the 125 by 125 widget here at ChrisBrandrick.com my visitors numbers have doubled, with a good majority of that new traffic coming directly from Entrecard. This increase in visitor numbers is also down to me blogging more, but still the incoming traffic sure is encouraging and proves that this advertising system works. For the traffic benefits alone Entrecard is worth looking into, but it offers so much more than that. In the month I have been a member I have found several new blogs which I now regularly read and enjoy checking.
I highly advise installing this hot widget, not only for traffic but to increase your RSS count, readership and earn new blogging friends.
Too bad most of the traffic comes from Entrecarders simply looking for the widget then moving on.
Yeah I noticed that a majority of Entrecard traffic is card droppers doing a fly by visit, but looking at my Google Analytics the average time on the site (via entrecard) isn’t to bad. It’s pretty hit and miss.

Well, I’ve decided that rather than going on about nothing but personal issues, which no-one is to bothered about, i’ve chosen take inspiration from Holly, and talk about thing that grab my attention on the internet, Stumbleupon likely to be my main source. Something that I’d really intended my blog to be about in the first place. Chris’ inspiration comes in the form of Entrecard, as the blurb on Chris’ blog put it; […]

I was just going to ask about the quality of your Entrecard traffic. I guess it’s always going to be hit and miss, but it would be interesting to see how many returning readers you get from the site, vs. those merely looking to boost their credit.
Nice blog, by the by.
