Short tip: I receive over 50 Entrecard drops per day and I want to return those drops as gratitude but I couldn’t find a way to view them all. Good thing I found the usefulness of Google Reader in this matter.
For those who don’t know about this technique yet, right click on the feed icon of your Entrecard inbox, then add it to your favorite feed reader. In my case I am using a Google Reader.

Recently, I posted about how Entrecard Credits (ECs) are becoming the “virtual money of the blogosphere.” You can buy some services through it like advertising to Problogger.net and John Chow, getting a new layout for your blog, pay for your hosting, etc.
There can be many ways on how you can earn ECs to purchase these great services. The conventional way is to drop your cards to several sites and getting advertisement from other users. But you need to spend most of your time to drop your cards (and get a card drops in return) and convince every potential advertiser to advertise on your blog. It takes time and effort. The trend now is to purchase and borrow ECs.
Where to borrow ECs?
The EntreBanker let’s you loan ECs, another brilliant idea from Mr. Biz Beacon. EntreBanker prioritizes the newcomers who are still in need to of ECs to launch their ad campaigns.

Just recently, I’ve noticed that my Adsense earnings went higher, averaging to $7 per day, from previously $1-3 per day.
My first 5 months with Adsense were very frustrating. I did several ways to make more money but I’ve always ended up with earning not more than $1 per day. I patiently waited for 5 months before I could start receiving my first Adsense check. It was even a test when my first Adsense check was lost. Fortunately, I have immediately put a hold to my account.
How I increased my Adsense earnings?
1. More websites means more earnings. This was what I initially thought. Then I put up the most visited ones: lyrics sites particularly offering OPM songs and celebrity blogs. I even put up spam blogs using Blogger. I failed. Why? Because more websites means more time to maintain them all. Based on my personal experience, it should be adequate to maintain up to 3 websites.
2. Optimizing my websites. I read several SEO sites, Google Adsense optimization site, etc. Some sites were quite helpful.
3. Posting about free stuff. I posted about free top-level domains, free medical e-books, free Asian drama and anime online streaming, free Rapidshare link, free OPM mp3, free Japanese manga, etc. These are among my most viewed posts.
