Thanks for commenting Monawea,

I agree that the EntreCard widget can look out of place on some blogs but then again it almost blends too well into a sea of 125×125 ads on others. You’ve got to decide how well it fits in to what you’re wanting to do on your blog.

I was skeptical of it at first, thinking it was yet another BlogRush-like mess, but it does actually bring in traffic. Plus I’ve found that some people who’re using it aren’t just dropping a card and moving on but are instead stumbling posts and clicking ads like I’m doing.

Thanks for including a link to my post. I guess I am not the only one that has less than warm fuzzy feelings about BlogRush. I am not a big fan of Entrecard either. Mainly because they only offer on widget look.

You’re welcome thewild1,

EntreCard looks good so far, but it is rather new. I’ll probably write a more complete article on it soon. It seems a bit like SU, like I mentioned above. It does bring traffic, unlike BlogRush.

Hi Matthew,

That’s a good overview of the process.

Traffic quality with EntreCard is an issue, to be sure. It looks a bit like StumbleUpon Jr. traffic-wise. I do try to make my visits mean something though if the site looks good. If there’s a good article I’ll stumble it and I’ll usually click an Adsense ad or two as well. I think this makes the traffic worthwhile and will keep people interested in the widget.

Hi Steve,

I guess it filled up pretty quick. I just signed up for EntreCard yesterday.

I think Entrecard is the best, hands down. In 20 days, I’ve received over 400 unique visitors, my subscriptions have doubles, and I’m actually getting comments on my posts now!

Here is a post I wrote about it a week back:

PS: I dropped my card now to see if I can buy an ad space
