Get a Business Card: How to Get More Traffic for Your Blog

Get a Business Card: How to Get More Traffic for Your Blog: "
To promote your business, you take your business cards everywhere you go, exchange them with your friends. And even if you don’t see immediate business, you still drop your card, because you believe that luck’s mysterious pathways may take that card to some prospective client. Who knows!

And yes, the business cards make you look very PROFESSIONAL.

You can make free business cards with your own designed image and distribute it to anybody who has registered with Entrecard.



With Entrecard, you can get sizeable, targeted, quality traffic coming your way for free, and with a bit of work, you will be able to advertise on hundreds of blogs for free. Entrecard utilizes a virtual currency called Entrecard Credits, or EC for short. You will earn EC in a variety of ways without monetary transactions, which you can utilize for advertising your blogs.

Placing the Widget on your Blog


After you’ve signed up at Entrecard, place the Entrecard widget on your blog. For this, click Get Code tab on the top navigation.



Paste this code onto your Blogger blog adding a text widget to your blog in the “layout settings” of Blogger. After placing the widget on your blog, you need to let Entrecard know. So log in to Entrecard, and read the message. Click Check my page now and wait a minute for Entrecard to find your Widget.

Now is the time to earn your EC. For this, click Campaign. You will find various sites listed there.



Click any card that catches your eye on this page. This will bring you to the profile of the blog. Click the URL of the blog. When you visit those sites, you will find EC cards like the following card I found below when I visited the site:



I click the ‘Drop’ and the message ‘Thanks’ appears. You can leave message/comment for the blog owner.

Most of the time, the other person returns your call.

Now that you have some EC in the bank, it’s time to go on a shopping spree and purchase your advertisement, and pay with the credits you just earned. Rates at different sites are different, depending on several factors including the Pagerank, etc. You earn credits when others drop on you, when others buy your ad space, or if you sell products or services in Entrecard’s virtual marketplace.

You can find in your inbox all the cards that people drop for you. From your dashboard you can approve ads that others have purchased from you. When you approve ads to run on your site, they run for a full 24 hours each. As
ads complete, you will earn credits for each ad that runs.

There are many such sites, perhaps offering similar services. But I found the site good enough and would recommend it.
