My Partial Success with Entrecard
This is a quick update but as you all know that I have joined Entrecard since July, but after paying a little attention towards it, I finally had a bit of success and learned a few things. But first, the most important thing is :
If you drop for others, others will drop for you!
I’ll recommend reading that ten times because that is the only way you can ‘ever’ hope of getting drops from entrecard else even after purchasing several advertisements through Entrecard you’ll just end up with a handful of drops! My current drop back rate is 81.6%, which I am calling drop-back rate because I hardly get drops from advertisements placed. If you think that getting such a drop back rate is very easy then you’re purely mistaken, I started with dropping 300 Entrecards a day with only 50-60 drop backs. Currently my average daily drops are about 190 - 230, depending on the frequency of my droppers coming online.
However, you have to analyse your drop backs and use them evenly. This does seem easy but it is just a little difficult. The main problem that I’m still facing with Entrecard is the high bounce rate of the visitors that it sends to me, bounce rate is the percentage of people who left your website after they arrived on the landing page without navigating any further and bounce rate from entrecard is out the roof. Once I’m done with that, I’ll let you all know how to get the most out of entrecard by spending least time on it (I’m saying that because I sat dropping cards for more than 3 hours daily). I spend less than 90 minutes now and also read some articles and repond to them, keeping the spirit of entrecard alive rather than acting like a entrecard-dropping robot [bzzt]!
