Blogging Sueblimely

Apologies for the title, I could not resist. What I have been dropping is my Entrecard – a kind of internet calling card. You can see where Entrecard members drop theirs for me – in my right sidebar. Once I have built up enough credits by pressing on the “drop yours’ button on other member sites I can then use these to advertise my site. I also earn credits when others drop in on me.

It is too early to say if this will just bring some one off visitors or returning readers but I will keep you informed. In the meantime I think the concept is clever and it appealed to me as being a fun way of gaining some more recognition for this new blog. I only need to visit and drop on sites that interest me, giving kudos where it is due. I only have to accept ads and place ads on sites I choose. I can avoid spammy sites and even if they visit this site they are not leaving – “will you drop on me/fav me, vote for me’ type pleas.

I suspect I should have a site logo on my calling card rather than my image but I did not realize it at the time. At least I did not use the Christmas hat picture I have put on MyBlogLog

Have any of you found such link exchange type schemes effective?

PS. I forgot mention that it was Mark of Me and My Drum that put me on to this. Thanks Mark. I showed my appreciation by buying a text link for the first time ever, on your Top Spots.
