1,500 Entrecard Credit Giveaway!
Posted March 26, 2008
If you’re new here, you may want to subscribe to Mommy Daddy Blog. We wouldn’t want you to miss out on our updates or giveaways ;-)! Thanks for visiting!
If you haven’t heard of Entrecard, then you’re definitely missing out on all the fun! Entrecard is a networking tool that, if used on a regular, can bring lots of traffic and tons of new readers to your blog. Entrecard has continued to be one of our top sources of traffic (bringing us just about as much traffic as Google!) for the past 3 months that we’ve been using it! And we constantly receive comments from new readers saying that they found us through Entrecard!
Entrecard can also be viewed as a community of blogs. Not only can it bring new visitors to you, but it can also bring you to new, interesting blogs you never knew existed! Take a look into the Parenting and Family category of Entrecard. There are currently 220 blogs listed in this category. Some blogs you may recognize, many others you may not. I myself have personally discovered many blogs I never knew existed that I now read on a daily basis, all because of Entrecard!
How does Entrecard work?
The first step towards getting the most out of Entrecard is by signing up (it’s free!) and creating a 125×125 banner that represents your blog or website. This 125×125 banner will be used as your “business card”. After you’re all signed up, you’ll need to install the Entrecard widget on your blog. If you take a look to your right in our sidebar, you’ll see our Entrecard widget under “Blogosphere”. Once you have that installed, this is where the fun begins! You can begin “dropping” your Entrecard on other members, and other members will “drop” their Entrecard on you! Every time you drop your Entrecard on someone, it will show up in their Entrecard dashboard. That person will see your Entrecard the next time they log in and may click on it, which will take them to your blog. Do you see what just happened there? You just received a new visitor, and possibly a lifetime reader, and it costed you NOTHING! Now imagine the possibilities if you dropped your Entrecard 300 times a day (the daily maximum amount Entrecard allows)! That could be 300 new visitors to your blog each day! But Entrecard currently stands at only 6,274 members, so eventually the amount of new visitors you receive will top off once you’ve gotten through all 6,274…
…and that’s where credits come in to play! What I didn’t mention before was that every time you drop your Entrecard on someone or someone drops their Entrecard on you, you receive 1 Entrecard credit. These credits can be used to purchase ad space in other Entrecard members’ widgets that I discussed earlier. The amount of credits it costs to advertise varies from member to member, and your Entrecard will show in their widget for a full 24 hours. The amount of new visitors you can get from advertising in other members’ Entrecard widgets are endless! It all depends on the amount of traffic the blog you are advertising on receives; and there are quite a few highly trafficked blogs on Entrecard! Take John Chow for example (I’m pretty sure everyone knows who John Chow is). He receives tons of traffic on a daily basis. Advertisers pay him hundreds of dollars to advertise on his blog. But what does it cost you? Currently only 178 Entrecard credits!
More on how to effectively utilize Entrecard can be viewed on Entrecard’s help page.
The giveaway!
So now that you know the value of Entrecard credits, I want to give you the opportunity to win some! I’m giving away a total of 1,500 Entrecard credits, and there will be a total of 3 winners in this giveaway! It all breaks down as follows:
First place winner will receive 1,000 credits.
Second place winner will receive 350 credits.
Third place winner will receive 150 credits.
I will use the Random.Org Integer Generator to determine the 3 winners, with the first number corresponding to first place, the second number corresponding to second place, and the third number corresponding to third place.

Being a new mom it is hard to find a solid block of time to dedicate to dropping and buying ads on entre card. That said I try to do as much as I can, when I can. You have no idea how grateful I would be to win any of the points you’re giving a way. I think it’s very generous of you and very clever. A great way to reward folks for helping promote your blog. Thanks for the chance. Best to you in your endeavors….Rose

GBlogger’s last blog post..Work-Life Balance Solved? The Importance Of Being Saintly.
Well, gee…I already wrote you a recommendation…and I already have you on my favorites….so I guess I have to comment now, lol!
I remember joining Entrecard…must have been in its infancy, because there were less than 50 parenting blogs. I was shocked yesterday when I looked and saw 220! I used to shoot for being in the top 30…there’s no way I can compete with that now, but I’m always happy to see my traffic go up and since I use feedjit, I can see how many are coming from entrecard.
My visitor map looks fantastic, lol!
You’re one of my favorite entrecarders - you always give good traffic!
Linda’s last blog post..Mojo a gogo…

And like someone else said, I am new to Entrecard and I’ve read what they say on Entrecard and I was still confused until I read your blog. Now, I want to add you to my favorites (my first one!) but I don’t know how to do that. I’ll try to figure it out, but I’ll be watching for an answer here as well!
Blessings to you and thank you!
