Since the birth of Entrecard, a lot of people has been dropping in and out of my life blog. I thought that being a member gives me an opportunity to earn more readership among fellow bloggers all over the world, but, the truth is, most people just visit a website just to find that widget. Oh yeah, it created a big buzz and stirred out some lazy clickers to click and click until the left mouse button bore a hole on it!
According to my Drop rank I was a “Consistent, regular dropper”, when I started out as “Casual and relaxed”. Someone even invented a sitehopping website where each blog that loads has an entrecard widget on it…people can be very inventive. There were, of course, some advantages of having that widget or being a member of that network. I was able to have people link me to their sidebar via “entrecard credits”. The disadvantage that I saw is, a lot of people do not even read the contents of your blog. As soon as they’ve clicked “Drop Yours”, they continue on their way to dropping theirs on others.
So today, I am dropping it. I will no longer drop my card on theirs, neither can they drop theirs on mine. Goodbye Entrecard! The promise of real traffic did not come true for me.
Thanks for the rate :) Sorry to hear you dropped ec, you have a great blog btw,
I have techfaved you as well :)
I’ve noticed this too. I thought that Entrecard would bring more readers, but most just look for the widget and don’t read anything. I’m probably one of the few entrecard members that actually read the website it takes me too (example, yours!). I’ve found some cool blogs – but the traffic hasn’t been what I thought it was. Maybe I’ll think about getting rid of mine too.

clint’s last blog post..Do Not Pass Go or Collect $200.00 Monopoly Game Went Bad
Clint,
I never said anyone from entrecard is “junk traffic”, and I didn’t say “everyone” doesn’t read the contents. Anyone who cared enough to actually spend time and read entries are quite few, and I am thankful for that.
