entrecard.jpgEntrecard is an ad exchange network that I discovered today. They call themselves the “Internet Business Card” but it’s really just an ad exchange system for bloggers. You get credits based on “dropping” your business card on other blogs that display the Entrecard widget.

You can advertise on other blogs based on the number of credits you have available. You don’t have to pay for anything. So in that sense, it’s free.

Here’s a description from the site:

“Entrecard is the first and only free exchange network for 125×125 ads. Through this revolutionary platform, you can advertise your own 125×125 Entrecard on any blog in the network, for free, for a number of days.“

Entrecard founders jump on the bandwagon of 125×125 banner ads which are popping up on many blogs, especially in the “make money online” space. While most of these blogs charge you money to put your banner on their blog, using Entrecard is a way that you can get your ad on their blog for free. There is only one ad shown on the widget, so that’ll get your ad more attention.

I’m going to test out this system and closely monitor my site stats to see whether this system works better than BlogRush. You can monitor your stats, for example, with Google Analytics. Just look for referrers from “entrecard”.

If you’re thinking that you can get some PR juice from these ads, think again. Because they’re implemented as javascript, you won’t actually get your actual URL linked from the blog where your ad is showing.

I’ll wait a week or two to see how this works out.

    Entrecard Improvements

    Got an email yesterday from Entrecard that said that they will be banning pages that promote powerdropping from their system. I think this is a good move. The powerdroppers have always skewed my stats and I have had to filter out those sites from my analytics so that I can

    Are You Wasting Your Time With Entrecard?

    You are if you're advertising blindly. You get some level of reporting from Entrecard but it really doesn't tell you what you should be looking for. It only tells you the number of clicks as a result of placing your ad on a particular blog. There is a more valuable
