Social Networking using Entrecard

I finally had the opportunity to install my Entrecard widget on this site and so far I’ve had nothing but a positive experience with the system. With high profile blogs such as ProBlogger and John Chow using the widgets, I figured I should give it a shot. I was pleasantly rewarded in less than 24 hours with some increased traffic and exposure.

The Entrecard site itself is very user friendly. Once you familiarize yourself with the dashboard it takes just a few clicks to purchase ad space (using credits earned off the site) and/or sell an exclusive spot on your site. Your banner will run for a period of 24 hours and with enough credits its actually possible to land a advertising spot free of charge on several reputable sites.

I highly recommend Entrecard to anyone interested in increasing traffic and exposure of their sites. Its only takes a few minutes to sign up and set up your personal widget and ads. I know it was definitely worth my time.

Problogger actually has a really good write up on Entrecard effectiveness in increasing comments on your site, boosting your Alexa rank, and attracting more RSS subscribers.
