Entrecard | Put More In – Get More Out

March 17, 2008 By MoreMerchant

I have been giving Entrecard a shot now for awhile. I still have the same thoughts. It is a great tool to help get blogs off the ground. If you are struggling getting traffic even low quality traffic is good. On first review you would think that Entrecard traffic is poor, but let me tell you. Entrecard has some very good traffic as well.

Entrecard for New Blogs and Advice

If you get 200 people per day to your blog through Entrecard, and 1% of that is good you are gaining 2 quality readers per day. After a month or so let’s say you lost half of those readers, you are now sitting at 30 very loyal readers. Pretty good if you ask me.

I will take 30 loyal and commenting readers over a 1000 others.

So entrecard is a good tool for blogs that want to get a jump start. The more time you put into Entrecard the more you will get out of it.
