Entrecard has been good to me. It drives a lot of traffic to my blog - and most of them have been converted into subscribers.

Personally, the only disadvantage this seems to have is increasing your bounce rate; but I believe that if you have good web design and useful content, visitors will tend to stick around just a bit.

Also, pardon my ignorance but I don’t really know why we should all be concerned with bounce rates. How does this help us in making money?

I know that it’s a good indicator to measure the quality of your content and visitors but I think feed subscriptions, comments, inbound links and other factors can also give you an idea if your blog is doing well content-wise.

I guess that’s my two cents on this topic.

Fitz - Hi! Thanks for your comments. I must say though that bounce rates could be considered a negative review of your site. This could affect your Page Rank, and if you do paid posts as part of your money-making quest, you can surely be affected. The lower the PR, the less (and cheap) are the opportunities.

We should not stop at Entrecard however, because like you said - Inbound Links, Substantial Content are major pieces to this puzzle! By the way, we love your blog not just because of its well-written articles but because they are originally composed by you. Keep up the great work!

$ bluep - Same here. We think the blog that we do not promote that much has a higher ec rate than the blog that we have with the most traffic. Interesting huh? Things that make you go.. hmmmm!
