Entrecard – a great way to begin networking

January 18, 2008 · Posted in Networking, Site Development, Technical · 2 Comments

As a blogger who is just starting out, I know that I need to increase my content and my traffic. To date, I have not really been focusing on increasing traffic because I would rather spend my time generating quality content. However, a recent post by Lazy Man influenced me to check out Entrecard, which is a blog networking site. There is a great interview with Entrecard’s Graham Langdon on ProBlogger, which talks about how Entrecard was created as well as how it works.

Since placing the widget on my page a couple of days ago, I’ve gotten 11 cards dropped on me, and 8 ads bought. I would have to say that I am pretty impressed with how easy it is to start making others aware that I exist, and plan on spending some time over the next couple of weeks really trying to develop some traffic to the site using Entrecard. There don’t seem to be any negatives to Entrecard yet (other than that it is addicting!), and at this point would highly recommend it to anyone just starting out.
