Entrecard Droppers (Entrecarders) BEWARE..

alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5377969006442208690" />

I just spent $ 85. to have my computer repaired after fit caught a virus from a site I had dropped on. Yes I evenhad virus protection but..I got a popup saying I had a virus and my virus protection deleted it and then it came up agian and said did you want to delete it. I did but this time I did using the virus software by mistake unknowingly and it erased my virus protection! NUTS..Not sure why people do this. Guess they have nothing better to do' I can tell you that what with living on a disability check (not what I make being with Entrecard for sure..) or even from my business selling jewelry as is slow too..I'm not sure what blog had the malware on it butf''be careful is all i have to say.

I am disenchanted with Entrecard anyway now especially with the latest action by them of not crediting us for drops from visitors. I think this blows as people can only drop if you take the time to advertise which I do. Mind you I don't pay money for it but i do in time. From now on I willl be rarely visiting Entrecard as quite frankly, I can't afford it!

THANKS..

Despite the new changes with 'Entrecard' what with Graham selling the company as is what apparently he does as an entrepreneur,start companies,make them viable and then sell them to the highest bidder,without us having any say in the matter,despite the fact we have been loyal and stuck with him and 'Entrecard', but any way..that is another story for another day..and your comments on this are welcomed..

I am crediting frequent visitors and readers of my blogs, with an ad on their blogs as thanks besides the FREE link already on my blog, 'Closer..' for the top 10 bloggers monthly through 'Top droppers', for their loyalty to me and my blogs as I know loyalty is something rare these days, especially on the internet! * Oh I forgot to say, this applies to people who actually stay more than 10 secs from Entrecard. Sorry but i am looking for readers and hopefully buyers of my product and services here1 Imagine!! how unique of me..lol..
thanks..
regards,

Ann

Entrecard, Smentrecard,hmph..

my response to Entrecard's latest comment about waht is going on on this social network:

What?!!? Is this math class NOW?! omg! It is so confusing what is going on here to the laymen like me here who are not up on all this tech jargon but are simply looking to spread the word about their sites,business,blogs,products and services. i think Entrecard should expand on the concept of a 'FREE' network similar to 'Ubuntu' soffware which i have on my lap top as opposed to Windows which costs money to load along with 'Webroot' for spyware which costs as opposed to FREE adware out there. I think most people here are artists,moms and entrepreneurs who don't have deep pockets but possess the spirit and survival skills necessary in these troubled,unstable times. One no longer has job security and can not count on a pension or a gold watch when they reach retirement age. Instead, many who have given their lives to their companies, to have a home and a better life, are losing their jobs,being handed a pink slip,being replaced by younger,inexperienced, but ed ucated workers and are being kicked out of their homes! This is our reality today. Why i became an entrepreneur and i think is why many of YOU did too! Make Entrecard a different better social network symbolic of that 'spirit' of CHANGE facing Americs NOW! Read more here

I think Entrecard better get it's act together pronto or they will find that they have no members to drop on anyone or advertise these Paid ads. Just my two cents but then..who listens to a peon like me huh?! Also, I think we all should be able to benefit from running the ads. lord knows i have taken a hit to the cost of advertising on my blogs as I hardly ever get any regular ads anymore! How about you? Seems like i get these paid ads that are not relevant to my page at all! I agree that people who support this network and all it's crazy changes due to 'growing pains', deserve a 'break today!'. One doesn't have to find it just at McDonald's. Perhaps our cards could be worth more. I think we should support each other here by 'Bartering' like if you make ART and jewelry or photography like me then maybe trade with someone who wants this for some Web site help like in my case, I need keywords added to my blog template and also a nice 3 column template to fit all I write! This is something we could do NOW. We don't need 'Entrecard' to do this! We are all already here so let's mix it up and spread the wealth of knowledge and talent here NOW. If not now when? If not today, why wait til tomorow?!

Google Gift for 2009!

Ugh! They, yes Google..lowered my Page Rank down to a 1 from a 2! I guess I should be grateful it wasn't a 0 huh?! How about you?! How is your page rank?! My Alexa rank is better though..Is now about 400,000. Was at one point, 1 million, before I joined entrecard for social marketing and increasing my traffic to my blog! Linkreferral, an affilia marketing site, was who i used before and i never made one sale and only met other webmasters and online business owners there in the same boat as me! Who needs that!? I am also with easyhits4u but I don't notice any improvement with them. I go to different sites there daily too and supposedly they say I am getting traffic back but I find few people visit me from there or blogupp, another traffic inducing site! Again, for that, as I have written on before in my posts and on countless blogs and forums on the net, your best bet for increasing your traffic is to trade links with other sites and blogs you respect and frequent and post on the forums and these sites and blogs. Remember guys to ask these places and their webmasters to backlink to your page! Also please use keywords and Stumble anything you write on the web! Oh and don't forget to PING your blog so people know when you update it!

What we all need more than just aimless traffic and entrecard droppers who stay but 5 secs and go on to the next blog for nothing more than to do their dropping quota, so they are in the topspots on Entrecard for advertising purposes..(man that was a mouthful!), but anyway...What we really need is loyal readers who backlink to our blogs and buy our art in my case and jewelry and use our services, in my case pet tips as I am a pet pro and health advice as I am an alternative health practitioner. Here's to your Health and Wealth this New Year, everybody!

Internet Tools For Your Blog: The Linkreferral Concept

Internet Tools For Your Blog: The Linkreferral Concept

Now my take on LInkreferral,lol..as I do believe other opinions are welcome and can be of benefit as opposed to this one by it's site owner,omg! ha!!

linkreferral sucks! I made no money and wasted my time, in the two years I was there and the members are mean and give bad reviews and act like kids in the forum,ugh! To top it off the site owner asks for money for credit on the referrals he get from having his link on our sites,outrageous! Most affiliate programs pay you for that privilege. Contrary to what he claims, one needs money from targeted not untargeted traffic as that is who buys our products and utilizes our services. Aimless hits only increase perhaps page rank but even that is no measure of a site's genuine popularity as evidenced by it's daily fluctuation. There is even some who have been penalized by Adsense for having linkreferral affiliation as is coercing the public to visit one's sites unnaturally! You be the judge tho,visit linkreferral and see what you think! As contrary to it's site's owner's opinion of me, I don't slander people's sites! He on the other hand offers a slanted view of linkreferral by writing articles on the hubpages,squidoo,social marketing sites like bloglog and blogspot, all singing his praises and erases comments that disagree with him! That is not accurate reporting which shows both sides of the story. He is like Oprah who only invited Obama and not McCain! MLM's, surveys and most affiliate programs claim to induce traffic and offer fast easy money but..we all know that the only real money out there is from a JOB where unfortunately you need to work,spend time at and don't make a lot after taxes! Anything on the net is a fluke and added creme to one's pudding but no promise of a regular check. Sorry, but I speak the truth.

The only good way I know of how to get traffic is by commenting in forums and on web sites and blogs like this one and exchanging links with reputable web sites and other blogs! Google wants quality backlinks not junk and that is all link exchanges and viral programs like linkreferral offer. Who wants someone visiting for 5 seconds?! I'll take a buyer any day over that and if you too want this you will be best served by avoiding Linkreferral and other link exchanges as they quite simply SUCK!

How do I get more traffic to my web site?!

(As appeared in LR,Linkreferral forum yesterday..)


Well you could have good content on your site for starters! If you have a page with good info on it that is of interest to the general population then it will get hits. If it caters to a more specific part of the public like say Britney Spears fans then you may only get people say in their teens and twenties who enjoy Britney! It is best to gear yourself to a wider audience in my humble opinion. On my site for instance, I deal with health. Then I get more specific and say alternative including aromatherapy. I offer a store and sell hand made soy based soap and candles and healing arts namely chakra jewelry and water color paintings of land scapes. Chakra means energy or chi,Qi in chinese. REiki is energy work for your body. We also offer meditation, feng shui, weight loss tips...In this way, you can see how you can target the general population and then hone in on more specifically the market you want to attract. More
