Entrecard Tactics
This is the second blog that I have used Entrecard with. My other blog is a journal of my journey through making money online. I have dropped a lot of cards. Tried all the methods and observed how others have used their cards.
One thing I am trying with this blog is sending the Entrecard traffic to specific posts. The only problem with that is eventually, if I have regular droppers, they may assume that they were landing on my home page and never update my blog. So for now, I am rotating posts.
I am considering creating a special fast loading page so that I can get on the Power Dropping list. But those mainly just catch easy drops. Some don’t even present any of the content of the site you are visiting. A page with two widgets should work though. The Entrecard widget and a feed widget.
For those of you who want someone else to create an Entrecard for you, go no further than Funk13. He created my card and saved me a lot of time.
I started chain dropping Entrecards. This involves loading a few Entrecard blogs in a browser and dropping cards on them. Then visiting each of their advertisers and repeating the same process until I ran out of sites.
Now my process is a little more complex:
- I use Safari to drop cards. It was a toss up between Safari and Opera. Safari has basically become my Entrecard software. It’s all I use it for. I have all Entrecard related bookmarks in it. I did this because I normally use Flock with a lot of addons for regular browsing. It loads way too slow, but I need those tools for other things. So I only drop cards in Entrecard.
- I open the feed of everyone who dropped on me. Then holding the Ctrl button down, I click them all, right down the list. This will open up each in a new tab. These links used to go to the user’s page on Entrecard. Now it goes directly to their blog.
- I drop on all the reciprocal droppers I can find. They promise to drop on you if you drop a card on them. I actually did that for the first time last night and the results are great. I just started Entrecard on this blog yesterday and have had 52 drops on my card since yesterday.
- If I have any time, I start Power Dropping. I load the fastest loading Entrecard sites 30 at a time and click their cards. I am not so sure I will be going this far any more with two blogs.
Some sites for you Entrecard addicts:
- Click Cricket – Free software that will load Entrecard sites into your browser for you.
- Entrecard Opener – A windows script that turns a Windows keyboard shortcut into a random Entrecard site opening in your browser.
- Sitehoppin – Hop through Entrecard sites like Stumbleupon.
- U Drop I Follow – One list of Entrecard reciprocal droppers.
- Speed Dropping – This guy have exported his bookmarks of the fastest Entrecard sites and has the file available for download. Just import it into Firefox and you have a full set of sites to drop cards on.
- Power Dropping - A list of 300 fast loading Entrecard sites.
- Entrecarder’s Guild – Another group of reciprocal droppers.
Not sure if that will help anyone or not. Happy dropping!

I only recently started using Entrecard. And my traffic pick up has been very good!
I’ve been following a similar strategy as far as loading sites on different tabs and then working through them. Yesterday was the first day I dropped 300, looks like I got about 80 or so to reciprocate. It also looks like it got me two or three more advertisers. I’ll try to hit 300 as often as I can, get a better 125×125, and then start listing adverts.

I’m just not sure it’s worth all the time much any more. With two blogs now, I am just reciprocating on one and on this one I am reciprocating plus a few more. The time I save I use to get links to the site and comment on other blogs.
It is worth it…. keep going, you will get traffic.

So had anyone tried Click Cricket? Does it work?
I ask specifically because it appears to be free software, yet it is selling on eBay for $10.
Anything that cuts down on the amount of time I spend dropping cards on everyone who has dropped them on me will be sweet.
Click Cricket does work and it is free. I used it at one time. But since I use a different browser for Entrecard than the one I use as my system’s default browser, I don’t use it. It opens Entrecard sites in the default system browser.
i will try your tips
