FREE advertisements from famous blogs.

    Have you heard of Entrecard? Well entrecard is a new way of advertisement. The way it works is, you get an Entrecard widget and you put it on your blog, on that card you advertise other people's websites and they pay you in Entrecard credits. Once you get enough credits you can advertise in famous million dollar blogs like John chow's blog. And in order to get paid, Entrecard has to calculate how much your ad is worth, and they calculate this by looking at how many "drops" (kind of like 'reps' other entrecard members give you) your widget has, your ad might be worth 10EC or 500EC.

    So today I started a giant list of Entrecard blogs so that they can be dropped daily for FREE, and they can earn entrecard credits and they can gain a backlink from my site.
    The URL of the list is:

    This is really a nice method of advertising. I think this is more or less equal to Blogrush widget. Am I correct?

    Yeah but they are not really spam, they are just reminders that people want to advertise with you. I just add it to my junk folder.

    And to answer the other person's question, a lot of people will be doing this as I already have 10 people signed up and more to come.

    And I've got no idea what blogrush is xD

    Blogrush didn't work for me. No additional traffic. Just additional loading time of my wp sites

    I'm getting a ton of traffic from Entrecard. I started getting it the minute I joined.
    Try it out, you'll be happy.

    No point in having that blog... the only good thing would be the backlinks other than that it's a waste of time. There are directories for blogs.

    sounds like a recycled version of what mybloglog, bumpzee and others have been doing.

    VERY effective. Let's just say the hour I joined I had already gotten 25 new visitors WITHOUT even having told anyone about Entrecard. The reason this happens is because they have a BIG list of other blogs in your niche and you can advertise with any of them, that's if you got enough credits. There are a ton of good blogs there and one of the ones I find most remarkable is the blog of the famous and inspiring John Chow.
    Once you get enough credits, your ad can even appear on John Chow's sidebar! It's basically free because you never pay a penny all you do is accept and ad daily which takes about a minute and get your ad "Dropped" by others so your ad price will go up.
    This method is great, otherwise not many would be using it.

    Yes you do. You are the one who pics which sites you want to appear on and you get to approve which ads you want to appear on your site or not.
