This article would be discussing a few basic guidelines on whom to buy advertisements using Entrecards and how you can better convert traffic coming from Entrecard. These guidelines might not be applicable to you but I guess a few would certainly agree with this since this is based on logical reasoning and observation on various blog’s who’ve been using Entrecard. I’ve also checked on various articles that presented Entrecards benefits for me to align a few of my thoughts.

 

Catchy Graphics. Before buying advertisements or placing advertisements be sure to come up first with a very catchy graphics that tells what your blog is all about. People are attracted to graphics especially if they know what’s inside your blog. Entrecard graphics/logo would tell your brand if possible.

Landing Page. On entrecard settings do not place your direct ULR on it because it’s useless. You can’t convert that traffic into real money if you’ll keep on placing it to your direct ULR (www.yourname.com). As for my case I’ve created a landing page for that wherein affiliate programs are bait. So you have to create a pillar content first and use related affiliate programs and blend it. Affiliate programs would be useless if it’s not blended with your landing page. With this technique $$$ is not to difficult.

Position. Do not buy advertisements on blogs where entrecard widgets are placed at the bottom of the page or if the widget is not visible at the 1^st or 2^nd glance. Most likely your logo wouldn’t bee seen by their readers. If his/her blog has the traffic maybe worth considering, but please consider his layout if it’s clogged don’t advertise. Readers won’t stay long for a clogged theme and plus having your widget at the bottom, it’s not worth the credit investment.

Traffic. Do not buy advertisements on blogs/sites that have less traffic. As for my case I use Alexa first before buying advertisements to not-so-known blogs/sites. If his traffic is below 100-200k it’s worth the investment. But consider item number 3 first before jumping in. Less trafficked blogs/sites are only worth the investment if they only require 2-10 credits and 5-10 days if visibility of your logo.

Authority. Buying advertisements to authority blogs like JohnChow, Turner etc. has always been worth the investment but spot is full, as always. Just check their blogs from time to time because advertising on them is really worth the investment. Especially that johnchow’s widget is quite visible.

Cheap Advertisements. Cheap advertisements (2-20 credits) that could give 4 – 10 days if availed have always been a good investment to new entrecard users or even for seasoned entrecard users. Some of this new entrecard users has already a traffic rank worth considering. In fact I’ve used this as one of my strategies since I can’t place my ads on authority blogs. So I flood my entrecard logo to various cheap entrecard users. But, I still have to use Alexa to check on their traffic. Below 200-300k traffic rank has always been cheap since most of them are so tired of dropp’n cards just like me. Still, they have a good traffic worth considering. Just picture this, if you could buy around 10-15 ads and most blogs/site has a traffic of below 200k considering also item number 3, I guess that’s a good traffic.

Considering you have set up those simple yet crucial things coupled with a very tempting, thought provoking pillar content blended with a good affiliate program, $$$ is just around the corner isn’t it?
