Entrecard Reviewed

/ Guttu / 3 Comments

And at last I am writing my review on entrecard. When I started using entrecard I wrote some posts regarding this site. I don’t think those who’ll be reading my blog will be unaware of entrecard. I’ll still give links to my earlier posts about entrecard.
Entrecard – what is it??
On a high

Things changed after that. I tried entrecard for a week. I got some serious traffic and good number of pageviews. But in the end it was not at all good traffic. As I expected earlier, the traffic was temporary. Things like “u drop I follow” will just give traffic to your blog. Not the readers. And I am always looking for readers. I don’t expect comments also. I know they’ll come automatically if you read.

So after a surge of traffic with the help of both entrecard and linkrefferal, I stopped. I stopped for a week. I didn’t comment anywhere nor did I replied to the comments posted on my posts. Just remained silent and did nothing, other than trying to solve domain problems. This was to check if I’m really getting readers or it’s temporary.

The results were expected. The average number of visitors dropped. And hence the pageviews. But still happy that I got those readers in spite of doing nothing. Now that I have got a domain I need to do better. So I’ll be active everywhere. At least I’ll try to. I’ll keep entrecard widget. It’s not because of the traffic, but the readers it gave. While looking at statistics I found that there is some increase in readers. Those who bookmarked my site. This number is very less compared to traffic. But good for me. In the end entrecard is good for those who have adsense on their blogs. They’ll get good revenue. But it’s not for those without adsense.

I wrote in a comment in the second link above that I’ll not post about traffic for 10 days. Now it’s more than that. ^_^ I’ll keep updating about my blogging progress.

Livewire News

What is this live wire?? Is it something that will give you a shock?? Nope. This is different. This is a blog service which gathers posts from blogs. You need to submit the posts and this is for free. The posts you submit are displayed as news items. Readers will vote to the posts and make popular. You just have to submit the post you already typed. Just copy paste stuff. Who doesn’t like copy paste??
Livewire News
You’ll say…. Yeah. There are many similar services available. They all provide such thing and are free also. Why should I join Livewire?? Then just have a look at the website. The layout is kept very simple at the same time easy to navigate. The simple design makes the site load in a flash. Most of the similar services take a whole lot of time to load. The site is neatly organized into categories. Easy to navigate as I said already. You can sort news “Top Today”, Yesterday, Week, Month and Year.

On a high

/ Guttu / 8 Comments

Yesterday my blog got the highest visits and highest number of page views. 150 visitors and 400+ page views. It was overwhelming for me. I couldn’t believe the numbers 😮 my counter displayed. It was all because someone stumbled upon my blog post. Though the traffic was temporary, meaning I don’t expect those users to visit again, It was pleasing. They are the ones who just came here by accident. I’m looking for regular readers. The nonsense lovers.

In the mean time the entrecard thing works. That is the first impression of the site. But I’ll not make any conclusion till 15 days at least. I believe this traffic is also hit and run. The good thing about entrecard is, I get to read new blog. I keep dropping the cards and suddenly a story strikes my eyes. I wait, I read, I comment. Currently I’ve no subscriptions for any blog. But I’ll soon start them.

I’m coming across some really good blogs. Many of them found a place in my bookmarks. For last few months I’ve collected large number of sites. The del.icio.us page is increasing day by day. Currently the bookmarks touched 450 :woot: mark. That’s quiet a big number according to me. I don’t have to worry about browser crashing and loosing bookmarks.

Thanks to all my readers for reading nonsense. If you don’t like my blog, I’ll still continue writing. :p Now that I’ve entrecard, I need to earn some good amount of credits. I’ll probably never advertise on entrecard blogs. It’s not my type of advertising. But for those who like to be on my blog, you have to wait. If I like your blog and it’s worth reading, then it’ll surely find a place in that 125×125 space. Keep in mind I’m not here to make money at this moment.

Edit: Just forgot about the number of hits. It’s about to touch 8000.  :love: 1000 hits in 5 day span. :angel:

Trafficswarm – a failure

/ Guttu / 2 Comments

I heard a lot about this site. So I registered and thought of giving it a try. Basically it is another site which helps you to build traffic for your blog or website. You need to surf for whatever time you want. Earn credits for what you have surfed. Usually you get to click some links and every click gives different amount of credits.

It varies from 1 to 1000 they say. So far the highest I got was 5 credits. The concept is very simple. The credits you earn are redeemed towards ads for your site. For every display of ad 1 credit gets deducted. There are types of ads you can configure. Some type of ads are bigger and get you noticed but cost more credits.

The thing I didn’t like was the credit deduction. It gets deducted for display. So you are never sure of a click. And that means you are not sure of traffic. That’s a big minus. I sign and do task in order to get sure shot traffic. Like Linkreferral, I do task I get traffic. I don’t do I don’t get. So far I hardly got any hits from trafficswarm. I was expecting it to be as good as Linkreferral. But it’s nowhere near to it. Continue reading →

5000 Hits

/ Guttu / Leave a comment

I’m Just stunned with the response to my nonsense. 10 days ago the counter was at 4200 and now it crosses 5000. And lucky me the 5000th hit was by me. It’s not a great achievement for many. But it is for me. The response to my earlier blog here was poor. But after learning things i started to blog again. And the success. This time the credit goes to Linkreferral. 800 Hits in just 10 days. Now I’m looking forward to such traffic building sites to get more hits. So far the rating to my blog is 4.93/5. Pretty good after 48 reviews. Almost no negative comments makes feel proud. Now have to live upto the expectations and improvise more. Thanks all the visitors for the response.
