“Add a Blog” to Entrecard!!

Posted Monday, May 19, 2008 by momscashblog | 11 Comments so far

I’m sure established bloggers have received the e-mail from Entrecard today announcing their exciting new “add a blog” feature allowing blog hosts to add multiple blogs to one account. They also have a new free Official E-book that explains this new feature and other tips for using Entrecard. I know there are new blog hosts here, so if you didn’t get the e-mail you can download the Free Official E-book and get more info at www.entrecard.com.

Not everyone knows about Entrecard. But all bloggers should participate IF they want to be searchable on the net. For newbies like myself, it can be a little difficult to understand why Entrecards are so important to bloggers, but I’ve figured out the concept and it all makes sense. Think of Entrecard as business cards sent from site to site via the internet. It’s a form of networking and getting your name out there, just as you would do with a brick and mortar business.

But Entrecard is soooo much more than just polite networking! Entrecard gets you linked to other sites, and that gets you better PageRanking which gets you noticed in searches on the internet. (If you are blogging for profit, or if you want to be high in the search engines, you must have a good PageRank!)

Here’s Why the Google PageRank and Entrecard are so important for Blogs

When anyone  uses Google searches, they are not really searching the WWW as it is at that time. That would take way too long, with the billions of sites out there. So Google does a search by indexing and software called “spiders”. These spiders crawl the internet like a web, going from link to link. They search important sites first. PageRank decides who is of “importance” by how many other sites link to that site. So if you don’t have any links to your site, the spiders will not find it. In other words, your site will NOT show up in a search unless it’s linked to other sites. The more the better!

Entrecards are a great way to link your site to other blogs and get your blog into searches. The more Entrecards you drop… the more your site is linked and noticed by the spiders… the better the effect on your PageRank… the more searchable your site becomes!

Here is the link to Entrecard new free E-books  http://entrecard.com/static/entrecard_official_ebook.pdf with the “add new blog” features.  I’m downloading mine tonight to learn about all the new features that they have.                       

On that note, I’d like to say that I will be getting around to dropping my Entrecards soon… hopefully this week.  We still have a few accounts that have not been changed into my name yet, and I can’t seem to replace K.s Entrecard with mine in the MCB account if anyone knows how to replace an image in Entrecard,please email me at jj@momscashblog.com. I have received around 20 cards and have accepted them all (well, all but one!). I can’t wait to get into the game.

Thanks for telling this info. I wondered what those cards mean. I thought they were like the Pokemon cards boys trade w/each other. Thank you.

JJ, that is great to know! These blog terms are the hardest things to learn. Every day something new comes up that I don’t understand. As you know I have wanted to start a blog for 2 months but I’m the kind who has to know everything before I start. I appreciate you explaining this! Keep it up and tell us more about blog things. Please!!

JJ, i believe the whole premise behind entrecard is to build traffic, not page ranking. basically, members go around dropping their cards on your site to earn credits, and hopefully in the process, they will read some of your posts which will boost your traffic. you will then see these members in your drop-inbox, and the idea is to recipricate by visiting their sites and dropping your cards on them in return. a lot of times, members don’t really read posts and just stay for the few seconds it takes to drop a card, so they’re only seeing your homepage. the quality traffic comes in when members use their earned credits to “purchase” the 125×125 ad banner on your site to gain exposure. then readers from your site will hopefully visit the site that you just sponsored and boost traffic of the sponsored site. that’s my understanding of it anyway, anyone feel free to correct me if im wrong.

Amanda,Tori……glad you got something from it. Thanks.I’ll be doing more on blogs but I have to spread the topics around….
MONICA….Great to see you’re up and running.Your site looks great.
ANTHONY….I said it was a form of social networking in my post,but I was giving the bigger picture.If you dig a little deeper,you will find Entrecard eventually helps with Rank because it links your site to other sites.
JAMIE…..good for you
PETER…..I might be new to this game but I made money out there in the real world….same game different ball field.
JACKL……don’t spam my site please..

JJ, if you’d like to truly make MCB your own, then i would suggest maybe creating a new header/logo that is representative if you to market your brand? if you’re interested, the timing couldn’t be better! i’m currently running a contest around the johncow vs garry conn competition in which i will be giving away a free header/logo makeover package valued at $150.

please visit my site for details if you’re interested, and good-luck!

“JJ” This ball field doesn’t have any overhead! Such a deal, wouldn’t you say? lol Saw you on Young Entrepreneur back awhile then Michael mentioned you on his site the other day so I came to see what you’re up to. Kudos to you. enjoy the game. I would say good luck, but you don’t need it!

All the best, Peter

Anthony… I don’t want to change the header. my sister’s a graphic designer so I would use her if I did.. I was at your site the other day but got interrupted before I could leave a comment. I’ll be back for sure.

Peter…Now I know who you are from your e-mail address.I didn’t recognize you without your url. lol I have a few questions for you. Later.
