If a picture truly speaks a thousand words, then this picture hits the nail on the proverbial head regarding my feelings towards most (not all) of the traffic generated by EntreCard. In the past week or so I have pretty much started ignoring EntreCard dropping altogether. At first I didn’t do it on purpose; life was just busy and I had pressing matters at hand. I started thinking about it though and to me it seems to take up more time than it’s really worth and in my opinion time is money. I am under the impression that most EC droppers are just in it to see how many they can drop in fifteen minutes and don’t really care about the content on the blogs they are dropping on. I understand that many of the blogs don’t appeal to everyone and that’s why I rarely seek out EntreCarders to drop on unless they have dropped their cards to me.

Before I started my blog I found a lot of great tips and a budding new community of bloggers at Buzz My Blog. The creator of the site (Jeff) is dedicated to building traffic on his site and eventually try to make money. During his “Adventure in Internet Marketing”, Jeff has vowed to share all of his findings, successes, failures and monthly traffic reports for the site. Jeff is one of the first bloggers I have seen that is truly sincere in helping other new bloggers in getting their sites off the ground. Each week he holds a contest dubbed The Weekly Buzz. Generally the prize is geared towards giving the winner a jumpstart on getting their blog off the ground with EntreCard credits. When the contest first started the prize was 300 EntreCard credits, but as the popularity of the site grew…so did the prize.Now Jeff has raised the bar again with a really interesting prize…500 EntreCard credits and 200 Unique Visitors. How can he guarantee 200 unique visitors you ask? Jeff is going to do a focused StumbleUpon campaign for the winner. The winner of this weeks contest will be able to pick the day of the campaign, so they can post some really good content. Then Jeff will use the power of the StumbleUpon mob to drive traffic to the site. Personally, I think this is a great idea…definitely original for sure.
