I am always on the lookout for free advertising opportunities.
I just blogged a full review of Entrecard here:
http://bit.ly/3ahegOEntrecard is free advertising for blogs and it has its own economy system of credits. You earn to pay for your own advertising.
Here is a summary of the Pros and Cons of Entrecard.
Pro
* Free advertising that costs no money - just time and thought.
* Fun - there are a variety of categories for artists and crafters to surf through - I have found such interesting blogs
* Networking - I have begun to see favorites and tend to comment there and receive comments back
* A way to gain readers
* A way to boost traffic
* A way to gain followers to your blog
* A way to have your blog promos seen, like your shop minis, twitter link, those kinds of things
Con
* Most traffic is just that - traffic - and not specifically readers
* Many will "hit and run" by going to your blog, dropping a card to get credits, and zoom out of the blog
* It takes time - whether little or a lot is up to you
* You must participate consistently to gain benefit by spending a little time each day to drop your card
I would encourage you to give it a try if you want your blogs to get more traffic!
