Hey! I hope you guys like the idea of this whole week. It is going to be dedicated to getting traffic to your site. Today I am going to go over one of my favorite sources of traffic, EntreCard. If you are not familiar with EntreCard feel free to go to their website and join, it is free. I have written 10 tips to get traffic from Entrecard. Enjoy!

1.DROP! Well, I guess you could have guessed that, but did you know there are actually some tips inside the tip. First, use a credit generator, like this one. This will help you make over 300 credits in 5 minutes. It is very helpful considering it would usually take me around half an hour to complete 300 drops. Next, make sure you are dropping on active users of EntreCard. Also drop on new users, they will see that you are active, and they will drop on your blog.

2.Advertise! Not as obvious as the last one, but still pretty basic. After doing the step above you should have over 300 credits. 300 credits should be enough for you to buy roughly 50 ad spaces in your niche. I usually spend half the credits on the cheapest blogs, and the other 150 credits on a more popular blog. You may be surprised to see that some of the cheapest blogs have over 500 subscribers, and a large PageRank.

3.Get a sexy ad. Ok, this one is the lest obvious so far. I have a question for all of my male readers out there. When you see a good looking lady, do you A.Stare at her B.Ignore her or C.Take a look at her. Ding Ding Ding! C was the right answer, of course you take a look at her. So why would that not be the same when it comes to EntreCard? I am not suggesting you put a good looking lady on your widget but more or less saying it should be original, and it should draw attention.

4.Make sure your widget is near the top of the page. When a potential advertiser sees your widget at the top of the page he will most likely buy it, but if he saw the widget at the bottom of the page he probally wouldn’t buy it. Also keeping your widget at the top of the page helps when people drop their cards, they don’t have to look around your blog to find it.

5.Get involved. The community forum is a great place to get to know the community, and earn major credits. In the marketing section of the forum there is a daily reedit/Digg exchange. Where everyone that submits there link to Digg and or Reedit gets there post Dugg/Reed. Also many people post things like “50 credits for a Digg.” Doing simple things like this will build up your credits.

6.Thank your advertisers for advertising on your blog. This is one of the nicest things you can do. Telling them you appreciate them spending their credits to advertise on your blog. This means a lot to people not only through EntreCard.

7.Watch your statistics. find out which ads are working and which ads are not. If your ad on JohnChow.com is working well continue advertising there. But if your ad on jermey789456.blogspot.com is not working don’t continure buying it.

8. Write a post about EntreCard. This in return will make “droppers” stop and read about the post. This means a lower bounce rate, and more returning traffic, if they like the article. Writing about EntreCard will make EntreCard grow, which, in return will bring you more and more credits, via new “droppers”.

9.Join contests. Not only can contests give you lots of credits, they also bring you exposure. There are a lot of people on the EntreCard forums looking to get you to join their contests.

Go do all the steps I said above, and tonight when you look in analytics you will be happy to see over 50 visitors from EntreCard. Look forward to my post tomorrow about Gaining traffic via offline advertising.
