Entrecard hit with a big bang to help bloggers gets instant traffic like no other program or website can deliver. Due to recent changes on accepting paid advertisements, many bloggers left this network. The traffic from Entrecard have dropped tremendously on Atniz too (lost almost 2/3 traffic). But, I’m still getting some decent traffic from this network. So, I couldn’t find a better reason to quit Entrecard yet. Recently, I noticed that the traffic from Entrecard has doubled.
The only reason it can happen is that many bloggers starts to accept Entrecard back. I would say, “Goodbye to Paid Ads” from new administration have given great impact on Entrecard. It really helps to gain some confidence among Entrecarders. Personally, I feel happy to see Entrecard finally getting back to it’s normal stage. I hope they don’t ruin this great program again. I’m strongly suggesting for all new bloggers to join Entrecard and drop 300 cards a day. I can’t suggest any better service that can increase traffic almost instantly.
There are only one problem for Entrecard admin that needs serious attention. Reducing their hit and run or bounce rate. Currently, Entrecard bounce rate on Atniz is at 93%, which increasing my overall bounce rate to high numbers. I hope they can implement some algorithm to reduce bounce rate. Other than that, Entrecard is almost perfect.
As you say Reena..
The bounce rate is clearly starting to make a mess on our blog analytics, I simply regard entrecard as a fast way to get traffic but I am sorry to say that this this traffic is not effective in any sense with such high bounce rate..
They are always in a touch n go mood neither responsive to your content nor to your ads
I am a bit confused with entrecard, how is it you get traffic from them?
I’m new to blogging, I have just start a blog, I have had a static website for a couple of months though.
To join Entrecard, all you need is a blog. Start a blog and join this network. Start dropping 300 cards (visit 300 sites) a day dedicated. I’m sure you can see the difference on the first day itself.
Hi, its really good to hear that EC is back to normal.. I really hate the paid ads in my widget… so I never tried it.. when it start most of the EC publishers thought they will get paid.. but the name “Paid Ads” was a misleading one… and it will reduce the chance for the advertisers in our widget… anyway, its going to be normal…
and my special thanks for ur daily drops in my widget.

I agree with you as paid ads reduce the chance and advertising value of our blog. With no paid ads now, I think EC will survive in long run.
I’m just new using entrecard, I’m agree what turisuna says. I just want to ask, why I can’t see the drop widget in some blog when I do blogwalking.
Welcome to Entrecard. It is because the blogs are not deleted from Entrecard yet. Due to recent ownership changed, they are working on to make it a better place.
Atniz, I think you and I are using different Entrecards. the amount of drops certainly is a factor in your high bouncerate. Less Drops and more reading should be the goal of a blogger and also entrecard. apparently entrecard has only changed hands not policies. their lack of concern and support are still as evident as they were in the previous ownership.
Atniz, please take a moment and read my post today on the whole Absentee Owner Situation at Entrecard and maybe you will have to rethink your post my Dearheart.
We can use Entrecard for different purpose. For me, it helps my offsite SEO, that is getting backlinks from top droppers and recent droppers widget that gives dofollow backlink to my anchored keyword which boost serp ranking and also possibility to increase pagerank.
I have read your post and commented on it too. I think they need some time to clear up the mess that Entrecard gotten into. We can see some changes as they have lifted transaction limit from 1k to 25k and paid ads removal. This will definitely get members to engage in more EC tradings. Still, they need to do a lot of work like moderating their directory blogs as some of the blog have widget at bottom of pages, some with background sounds, some don’t even have EC widget.
I think people are starting to regain confidence in the team now.
Yes, I agree. I noticed that there are a sudden boost in Entrecard site traffic for last couple of day since paid ads system removal.
I prefer to use entrecard rather than the other social networks, it simpler and stabler, I can do blog walking easily and learn many thing, and what makes it more fun is I get many visitors for my blog. Your information make me more excited with entrecard
Great! I hope the new administration can get this network more excited with other activity as well.
This is good news! Let me try EC once again.
Great! I’m sure you will see the same old Entrecard traffic again.
Hi!
Congratulations for the Malaysia top 100 blog.
Look like I am not the only one that really been hit by the high bounce by entrecard dropper. At the early stage of my participation in EC, the bounce rate only around 85% though. Since I am an active dropper now it is 95% for me.
Thanks. 95%? Wow! I think I need to run a survey on Entrecard bounce rate here.
