Hi Felex.
Yeah, I try to interact with my most frequent droppers by visiting/commenting on their blogs. I don’t send “thank you” notes because I believe the way to say thanks is to participate in other’s blog/community.

Entrecard increases bounce rate to most of the Entrecard users ,but why it this happen,it is because most of us just drop and bounce.On the other hand,i suggest that try to interact with the most frequent droppers to your site such as thank you message to them and build up some rapport or invite them to your blog to join some campaign or subscribed as reader and so on.Ultimately,you are not only will receive credits but a constant traffics and reduce bounce rate Felex Tan's last blog post..How to reduce Entrecard's high bounce rate ??

Hi Ria.
That’s a good way to approach promoting your blog. The key point is getting visibility, and EC (among other things) provides that. There’s enough variety in EC to advertise on so many different niches.

I've been with Entrecard for a little more than a week now. I use it more for networking, not so much for traffic, so I could care less if a popular entrecard blog costs 2000+ credits to advertise on, because I'm not paying it. I drop about 15 cards a day, and that's it. I've had some successful ad campaigns, and some not so successful, but when I look to advertise on someone's blog, I look for someone in my niche, a low credit price, and I also check seo centro to make sure they're getting some search engine traffic.

Hi Heather. We all started itty bitty in the beginning. Takes time and dedication to develop it. EC just another vehicle to speed up the development a bit.

Thanks for the kind compliment, Rudy! I’m so flattered that you think my blog is good. EntreCard has its good points and bad points. For a little bitty blog like mine, it’s an invaluable source of traffic. I like to think that EC opens the door to let people into my place, but it’s up to me to make them want to stay for a while. Not everyone will, but that’s okay.

Hi Zhu. I don’t think you should worry about EntreCard since you already have quite a lot of people who comments on your site. But if you want more visitors, then give EC a chance.

Like I mentioned above, with the new ad pricing scheme, high bounce rate is going to be reduced drastically because there’s no incentive to drop’n'run. A lot of of the people who chain drop are complaining about it, and hating it – which is a good thing.

I almost signed up the other day but I’m a bit reluctant to add another widget to my blog… plus the high bounce rate.
