Entrecard: Be Seen and Get Traffic

Posted by User Image Cajen | Filed under increase traffic, make money

Another great way to boost your traffic is joining the booming community of Entrecard. I’ve been an Entrecarder for more than a month now and I’ve seen a couple of Entrecarders visit my site to drop their cards at my EC widget. Basically how it works is that you get credits for visiting other entrecarders and dropping at their entrecard widget. With enough credits, you can buy advertisement from another entrecarder and you get to promote your blog at their page. The more credits you get, the more advertisements you can buy, which translates to more traffic. And today is the best day to join the community as Entrecard is holding another contest. Win tons of prizes (see list below). I’m looking to win the ad spot at ImpNerd OR the 10,000 credits from Fantasy Baseball (drools). I hope I win.

Here are the sponsors and prizes (EC credits) that are at stake:

Fantasy Baseball - 10,000ec — You can trade in 10,000ec for, like, Graham’s car or something.

Q3-n - 5000ec — Q3-n is selling their 1950s dinette furniture to finance this contest. They say, “You’re welcome.”

Øblog - 4000ec — Wow! 4000ec is going for like $30 on the Entrecard market. Thanks, Weird Oh.

Evil Woobie - 3000ec — Hey, maybe she’s not so evil after all! Or is she? You make the call!

Turnip of Power - 1001ec — He was going to go with 1000 then he found an extra credit in his couch. Thanks, Turnip! Read the rest of this entry »

I signed up for PPP

Posted by User Image Cajen | Filed under make money

I have been finally approved for PayPerPost! The first time I applied, I was declined though because my blog hasn’t seen 90 days yet. However, much to my surprise, PayPerPost has decided to change the terms of approval – instead of 90 days, your blog only needs to be 30 days old with at least 10 post within those 30 days! I wasted no time and re-submitted my blog. Within 12 hours (yes, they are fast), I’ve got an email saying that I got approved!
Before I get ahead of myself, what exactly is PayPerPost? PayPerPost offers opportunities to blog publishers of earning extra income by posting topics from advertisers. For example, with this post, I am being paid $20.00! Don’t worry though, each sponsored post will have a disclosure at the end to let you know that it’s a paid post. What’s more, you get to choose which stuff to blog about. It’s easy to sign up and as long as your blog is 30days old with at least 10posts, approval is a breeze.

A lot of advertisers are turning to bloggers for blog advertising these days. And PPP serves as the contact point for these advertisers and you, the bloggers. Go ahead, give it a try and sign up today. If you are a regular blogger, and writing is your passion – then might as well get paid to do it.

BlogExplosion: More traffic for your blog

Posted by User Image Cajen | Filed under increase traffic, make money

In my attempt to increase traffic to my blog, I stumbled upon BlogExplosion while reading one of my most frequented blogs. It offers free (potentially targeted) traffic to your site in exchange for you visiting other members’ websites. I decided to give it a try. I just registered and it appears to be promising. I have seen other free traffic sites that offer tons of traffic in exchange for surfing other members’ sites – one drawback is that the potential for getting targeted traffic is slim. You don’t get to choose what type of sites you want to visit.
With BlogExplosion, you get to choose what types of websites to visit. So you get to visit sites that you are most interested in, which means that the potential for getting targeted traffic to YOUR site is high. I tried surfing and there are a lot of quality blogs that I wouldn’t have been able to know of otherwise. Go give it a try. They also have a ref

Increase Traffic to your Blog

Posted by User Image Cajen | Filed under increase traffic, make money

Start.

Hello everyone! How are you and your blogs doing? Do drop me a line, Id love to check the progress of your blog.
With your blog up and running, and with great content (I’m sure), the next logical step is to drive traffic to your blog. I’ll be giving you a couple of tips on what I did to drive traffic to my site.
Initially, I had it hosted on a subdomain, then on June 1st 2008, I decided to buy my own domain. Before we continue, I suggest that you sign up for an account with Google Analytics, as it’s very helpful in analysing traffic and trending for your site. Here are my stats on my previous subdomain [cajensoft.site88.net]: Read the rest of this entry »
