Jammed: Full into Capacity

I finally got an ad space from JohnChow.com and Problogger.net without spending a penny for it. It has saved me from hundred bucks to get a space from these great blogs, thanks to Entrecard.

I purchased an ad from John Chow.com (currently running) for 223 ECs and got a 34 clicks to this site in return. That could have cost me a lot if I were to purchase an ad space from his blog. I also purchased an ad at Problogger. It has been approved an is set to run on March 7.

So how to get a spot from these highly-trafficked blogs for FREE? Simple, make the most out of Entrecard. Entrecard is an innovative way of blog advertising. It makes it possible for small bloggers to get noticed.

So how to make the most out of Entrecard?

1. Drop more, earn more. Well, you may have probably heard of the saying “there’s no such thing as free lunch.” Same goes with Entrecard. You have to earn those credits through dropping your card and receiving dropped cards in return. Be a persistent dropper, that is.

2. Spend your Entrecard credits. I’ve seen blogs who only displays their Entrecard widget without actually purchasing advertising space from other blogs. They are missing the chance to get good traffic from Entrecard.

We’ve also seen some blog contests offering Entrecard credits giveaways to increase their feed subscription and incoming links. This is actually a good way to increase your blog traffic and these users are making the most out of Entrecard as well.

3. Choose whom to purchase an ad space. Before, I was one of those who wait for recently added blogs because it’s cheaper. However, because these new added blogs are in demand (apparently everyone wants cheaper advertising), I could rarely get the chance to purchase an advertising. Further, these recent blogs are new to the blogosphere (most of the time), so you may get less or no visit at all. You have also spared these new blogs from adverts flood. So my strategies now are to purchase ad space from those blogs that can really bring potential traffic and these include:

• Highly-trafficked blogs like John Chow and Problogger. However, most Entrecard users are hesitant to spend their ECs because it costs a lot higher than purchasing adverts from small blogs. But believe me, purchasing adverts from these blogs is worth all the price.
• Relevant blogs. You will minimize the rejection of your adverts due to irrelevance to the blog.
• Blogs that are indexed well in Google or other search engines. I usually check the number of indexed pages of a certain sites before purchasing an ad space from it.
• Highly-subscribed blogs. The number of feed subscriptions of a blog is usually directly proportional to its traffic.

So make the most out of Entrecard now!
