Wait... I can already hear what you're thinking. Entrecard is just a new version of cheap traffic exchange. Yeah, it will create a spike in your traffic. But all that traffic will be junk traffic. Other bloggers just hop in, drop their card and zoom off to the next blog. A total waste of time.
Let me ask you this...
Would you be surprised to discover that if done right, you can increase the quality of the traffic landing on your blog from Entrecard?
Well, in this article I'm going to show you 3 specific steps you can take that will have a direct impact on the quality of traffic you get from Entrecard. It can be done.
Let's take a look at 3 steps to improving Entrecard traffic quality.
1. Drop in categories related to the subject of your blog - First of all traffic from Entrecard is not junk traffic. It's just unfocused traffic. Unfocused traffic will fly in, drop and dash. However you can avoid that by dropping cards in categories that match up to the subject of your blog. These are people who are interested in the same things as you are. When they reciprocate your drop, they are more likely to stick around and check out your blog.
2. Drop upon those who drop upon you - Make sure you return drops to people who come to your blog & drop their cards. "But, wait didn't you say to only drop on blogs with similar subjects." You're right I did say that, thanks for pointing that out. I use to drop on anyone who would drop a card on my blog. But, then I realized to get better quality of traffic I should only return drops on blogs with similar subjects.
3. Buy ads on other blogs in similar catagories - The credits you build up by dropping need to be spent on buying a 125X125 ad on other blogs. To get better quality traffic make sure you buy ads from similar blogs. I would ignore the adivce from others telling you to buy all the cheap ads. You will get your ad out to more places, but your traffic quailty will drop like a stone. Remember, you want people coming to your blog who are interseted in your content.
As you can see following these 3 steps can improve the traffic from Entrecard. You might not get tons of traffic from there, but the traffic will be more focused. And more focused traffic means more interaction, better readership and more sales.
Now get out there and take advantage of improved Entrecard traffic.
