We are running an experiment right now to determine whether Entrecard hurts or help your blog. The benefit of advertising through other blogs may have brought traffic to your site but did it bring you stable traffic? How about other Entrecard users dropping cards on your blog. Would you consider that substantial?
We will be posting a poll here to find out what other people think. It would be good to understand for the benefit of our readers and hey - for us too!

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.
