Unbelievable, I got very few traffic from ads at weekends. It seems that people do not like to work at weekend. All the traffic i got from people drop back me.
Therefore, we should not advertise so much on weekend. Advertise only on the most popular site, one or two ads is enough. It will bring more traffic than advertise many site at weekend.

Good marketing strategies
As i said in the previous posts, i will try to advertise and see the result.
It is exciting. The traffic is double. More people comments on my posts.
And my blog is more poopular now. So what do i do?
1. First i use all my money to advertise (not enough money because the ads price is high) on the site which is more popular and less price.
2. I try to advertise as much as posible
3. When i have more people drop on my sites, i also has more credit. Another income is from people buy my ads
4. Now i have more credit to advertise. I do again from the step 1.
After 4 days advertise, the traffic is double. Many people ask "how can i get more traffic?". And this post is the answer. Advertise as much as posible. That's all. Ialso will try to promote my site using event through forum to see what happen. Wait for my next analyse

Statistic 19-Nov-2008
After tracking drop status for a few days, i have just found some interested in things
+ I drop about 150 cards/day
+ I got back about 50 cards/day
+ I have about 35 organic clicks.
Conclusion:
+ 1/3 = 50/150 people use strategy: You drop I follow. :D
+ 2/3 = 100/150: They did not follow above strategies. They use bookmarks and open list of fixed users in this bookmark and drop. They do not care about who click on them. And in this case, they may use ads to get more and more traffic from advertisment.
+ A fixed number of user click on my ads = 35/50= 70%. 70% of dropper clicks to ads.
So you should filter who not drop back you. Because they even know what your blog is about.
And i think you will get higher rank

Some strategies which entrecard dropper used to promote website
1. First strategy:
In forum:
A guy said:
" hey,
anyone interested in getting easy 1000 ec's ?
just write a review of my blog on your site :
1. 3 outbound links to my blog
2. minimum 250 words
Easy !! go get these ec's
either pm me or write a comment here "
With this contest, someone will write about his blog and give outbound links. If that site has high pagerank, he also has good pagerank. If not, it will be ok. Good strategy. But i see few people interested in this contest. It is because they are afraid of google penalty
But in general, it is a good strategy.
2. Second Strategy
As we know, most people in entrecard just drop and run. This is because they have to drop more to get enough credits to advertise. I have try to drop and it took me more than a hour to drop about 150 cards. It is tired and stressful. So it is easy to understand that people do not want to comment any more. So the good solution is that you will comment on their blogs. When they finished dropping, they will see anyone comment on their blog and will comment on your blog back. I think it is best solution for this problem. Give me your opinion if you have another idea . Other strategies will be updated later when i have more time

Why does Top Drop Entrecard not have high pagerank?
Today, I want to know the pagerank of the top entrecard dropper.
I chose category: Make Money Online to investigate because of they make blog to earn money.
So they should and have to know SEO==> Some of they should have highpage rank
Now let me see:

Entrecard ads price: 1536

2008-11-11 Statistic
+ I got 3 visitors and drop back 10 cards. Among 3 visitors, there are 2 old visitors. One is new.
Visitors from previous day do not come back.
+ No-one comment/vote on my blogs.
+ No-one advertise on my blog (now 32 credit)
+ I does not advertise.
BTW, my blog is not indexed in google search. If i do some SEO technique (digg for example) i will be indexed in 1 hour.
Explaination for this result:
1. My blog ads price is now 32 and people does not searh with critera 32.
2. My blog is not popular because i do not drop much
3. People does not adverts in my blog because the price is 32 instead of 2. 2 is the price in previous day.
========================>
CONCLUSION:
+ You can not wait for others come to your blog and drop and you follow. You need to be more active, drop as much as posible to get more popular
+ The strategies that many people used to do is: search new blog with has price 2 credit and advertise on it. But in my opinion, this strategy is not good as new blog with no experience in entrecard network will behave like me. And therefore, no one will visit his blog. If they visit, they also do not click on entrecard ads. Because they will do like the method decribed in previous post http://entrecardseo.blogspot.com/2008/11/dropping-300-cards-is-it-good.html .
So what do we have to do to get more good traffic?
I will tell you later after i do some experiences.
First day in entrecard
Here is the first report in my entrecard. The google analytics is setting up. So i did not have any statistic on traffic now. Maybe in 2,3 day later, i can get them all,
In the first day, i will see if i did not drop on any sites, is there any one drop on me ( totally new site)
Statistic:
First day:
Blog is created today. I do not submit my site to google search search engine. I would like to see the real ability of entrecard to promote my blogs.
There are no one visit my blog at this time i write this posts.
No one vote for my poll.
No one read my post. :D
Now wait ...........
=======================================
Update in 5 minutes laters:
There are 2 advertisers visit my blogs and advert ads. But they did not drop on my sites. There are new strategies here. I will tell you later
Last updated:
I have six drop today + 4 advertiser. Half of number of advertisers do not drop on my blog. One of dropper comment and vote on my blog / 6 dropper.
==> Good traffic is 1/(6+4) = 1/10 = 10% total traffic
Good blog traffic - Is entrecard traffic meet the traffic quality
Good Blog Traffic
Good blog visitors are ones that subscribe/post comments/click ads/contact you.
As i said in the previous blog: Entrecard traffic has some feature
1. Vist and run in quickly (below 10ms)
2. Does not read posts, comments
3. Does not click on ads
4. Maybe contact with you but rarely,
Conclusion: It is not good traffic except it increase alexa ranks
Dropping 300 cards: is it good?
One of the factor to be succesful in entrecard world is that you have to click 300 card everyday.
One of the common way
==================================
1. Download Fire fox http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/
2. Download No Script Addon https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/722 (keep it disabled until you drop)
3. Download Alexa toolbar http://www.alexa.com/site/download/
4. Download Entrecard toolbar http://entrecard.com/page/ec_toolbar
===================================
After install environment
Configure browser:
+ Under Load images automatically (exceptions) type in amazonaws.com and entrecard.com (so the entrecard boxes will show up)
+ Uncheck load images automatically and uncheck enable java
=====> Reduce time of loading sites because we dont load images except entrecard
+ Enable no-script addon ==> reduce time of loading sites because we dont load ads
===========================
Next step:
Bookmark all sites did you like in entrecard.
Use function: open all in tabs when you click on bookmark folder
All your site which you want will be open at one time and now just click and click
============================> THAT'S ALL TIPS <================
But the problems are here: Click so much and no one reads posts.
So it is not good anymore. The good way is : dropping less, comment more, make firends and advertise.

Strong points of entrecard?
One of the strong points of entrecard is that we can have many traffics ( i dont know if it is quality traffic) and you will have good alexa rank. I already try it and my alexa from 1000000 now become 200000 (in other blogs not this blog). It is worth for new blog or for beginner. But if you want to earn money by those traffic, i think you can not because people visit your blog for earn entrecard credit not information. But, maybe i am wrong and you will find a good way to earn money. If you have a way to earn money from entrecard, please tell me. I am very interested in your experiences.
Weak point of entrecard
One of the big problems of entrecard is that dropper drop card and run :D . It will increase the bound rate so much. And of course, people does not spend time to read your posts. It is terrible.
Even though, now entrecard cooperate with SezWho, there are still a lot of people does not partipate in SezWho ==> drop and run. But it is only my opinion. So to prove my idea, i have to track my blogs daily and see how many people tend to comment on my posts and how many people just drop and run. And we will have the conclusion in this idea.
