Want free advertising on the biggest blogs for a day?

Have you heard of Entrecard? Entrecard is the brain child of Graham Langdon, the owner of the Million Dollar Wiki. The basic idea is to exchange business cards with other blogs. You can grab free advertising to other blogs if you play it cool.

How does it work?

Install the Entrecard widget on your blog. You need to create your account first. Choose the most suitable size and design. I’m running the 250×127 wide widget. This widget allows other Entrecard users to drop their card and you get one credit for every card dropped. However I received 4 credits for dropping my first card! Well I’m still trying to figure that part out. Credits can be earned by dropping cards to other blogs that has Entrecard widget installed and by other blogs buying an advertising spot on your blog.

The ad price is based on how many people dropped their cards on your widget and how many cards you have dropped already.You need to build credits in order to get your blog showing up on popular blogs. However you might have to wait for a few days to grab your place on popular blogs even if you have enough credit. And the button shows for one day only! Before you want to grab an ad spot on johnchow.com, you need to have around 97 credits and a waiting period of 13 days!Control panel

Well it is really easy to use once you get used to it. Credit information is mounted on the left of the panel and along with other stuffs you get the information about your ads, sites you bought advertising from and sites that want to buy advertising on your blog.

What’s in it for small bloggers?

It can be one of the coolest tools to promote your blog for free. How would you like it if your blog gets a shot on popular blogs for 1 day? As credit builds by the other bloggers that drop their card, it can be a cool source of traffic. If you drop me your card, the next thing I have in my mind is to drop my card on your Entrecard. However there is a question about the quality of traffic. Well I don’t mind if another blogger visits my blog to drop his card. If he likes my content, he will come back no matter what.

So far how is it doing on my blog?

It’s doing great I think. I received 7 credits and 3 advertisers that bought my ad space within 5 minutes! You should join Entrecard right now and visit my blog to drop me your card

The biggest RSS submission list, Part 1

I have been digging for valuable resources to promote my blog and thought I should share so that you can promote your blog too. So here I am with a good list of RSS submission sites.
As from my experience I figured its not easy if I flood you with a big list and ask you to submit your RSS feeds to every of them, it’s going to be an impossible job.

Don’t you think it would be a lot easier?

So start promoting your blog and don’t forget to come back tomorrow for tomorrow’s list.

Install Alexa toolbar to increase Alexa ranking.

When I have submitted my blog on alexa.com for a ranking, alexa gave me a traffic rank of 8532568 and I figured I have to do something about it and decided to install alexa toolbar giving a think if it could increase my site ranking. Well it did! It worked like a charm!
I have started to see noticeable changes on my site ranking. Within 2 days - my site ranking changed into 5635763 and in 5th day it’s down to 3785293!
I’m sorry I couldn’t take any screen shot, that’s because I wasn’t prepared for the rapid change. But this time I have one. You probably don’t need the screen shot if you have the alexa toolbar installed. But again if you don’t have it, check out my current traffic rank.

I know it’s not a big change of rank but considering the age of the blog, it’s a good isn’t it?
So uhh does the toolbar help? YES OF COURSE IT DOES! But don’t keep your ass glued there and don’t stop to promote on social Bookmarking sites and to the directories. Otherwise the toolbar will be of no help. Keep the toolbar running whenever you maintain and track your site. The toolbar counts every of your visits as a traffic source and you will see noticeable changes to your ranking.
Oh by the way, don’t forget to drop me the ranking updates of your blog, I would love to hear if my tip had put you out of the probation period
