Ryan’s Journey

About a week ago, I found an old comment from a friend of mine. I decided to check her blog out since it had been a while. I noticed that she was getting quite a number of comments per post, and I asked her what she did she do to get so many comments. She said she used two services to bring people in. From the two services she mentioned, I decided to try Entrecard, which claims to be the new way to drop your business card 2.0.

I don’t buy that fully. The welcome page, talks about how in restaurants you drop your business card in a box or something to win yourself a free lunch. The way Entrecard works is an user puts a small piece of [javascript] code somewhere on their blog, and other Entrecard users click the gold bar at the bottom to “drop their card.”

You gain 1 credit per card you drop, and another credit per card dropped by others on your blog. What then do is use your credits to buy space on other blogs. So you may see something other than an image saying my blog title near the bottom of the side bar, that means somebody paid to advertise on my site.

In the help section, they post a final note on dropping your card. They encourage you to read at least one post and comment before dropping your card. I know I try to read a few lines of the post before dropping my card.
