ProBlogger and JohnChow Entrecard Review

Darren Rowse and ProbloggerAlright numerous emails and I suppose I need to let you in on how my Entrecard ads did on Problogger and JohnChow. These are 2 of the most sought after ads on Entrecard. If you were to purchase an ad on either of these it would cost over $1000 a month I do believe.

So I placed on ad on both Problogger and JohnChow. John Chow approved a bit faster than Darren (Problogger). My ad on Problogger ran before John Chow. I was hoping for a nice bump although the bump that was anticipated was more than received.

From Problogger I received 103 clicks and from JohnChow I received 79. If you take the clicks by the amount paid it is not the best purchase for the money. Now I know that Problogger and John Chow readers are great readers to have, so it is hard to place an accurate comparison.

I will say that some of the cheaper Entrecard places to advertise have done much better for me when considering the amount paid per ad. So spend your Entrecard credits wisely. Possibly something a bit less enticing would be credit better spent.

EntreCard Review and How to Game Entrecard

Entrecard marketing for blogsTime for another Entrecard update. Today I am advertising on Problogger and in a couple of days John Chow. So far nothing impressive from Problogger but good face recognition since I use my face as my advertisement.

Feds Slash Key Interest Rate

Are you paying attention? The Feds today woke me up with this message:

The Federal Reserve, confronted with a global stock sell-off fanned by increased fears of a recession, cut a key interest rate by three-quarters of a percentage point on Tuesday. The Fed said it was cutting the federal funds rate, the interest that banks charge each other on overnight loans, to 3.5 percent, down by three-fourths of a percentage point from 4.25 percent

This is a drastic move that shows the seriousness of what the world is going through right now. This is the largest 1-time move in history. Yesterday the world had a huge sell off in stocks, while the USA markets were closed. So be prepared for things to happen.
