Okay, so I don’t know if you remember this post a couple of weeks ago but i’ve been using EntreCard since and its a really useful way of getting traffic. Since using it i’ve been buying alot of good advertisement spots on some really nice websites and blogs, although my rss readers haven’t really budged but my traffic has increased to around an average 220 unique visitors a day.

But what I want to investigate about Entrecard today is this - Is it worth buying lots of advertisement spots which cost less ECC (entrecard credits) or saving your ECC’s and spending it all on one advertisement?

Buying Many Ads With Your ECC’s

Okay, so say you have 100 entrecard credits saved. If your like me your a bargain hunter looking for quality and the best out of it (in this case traffic). Common sense lets us know that the least expensive the advertisement is on EntreCard the less traffic your going to get, whereas the more expensive it is the more traffic you’ll get. But why not think sensibly and buy more for your ECC’s. After all EntreCard is like a guess game, you don’t know any of the websites traffics or statistics - unless you asked right enough - but thats going to take time! I judge on buying an ad by guessing on the websites design, comments they’ve got on posts and just overall feel when I enter the website - it takes two minutes and can save you alot of ECC’s.

Buying A High ECC Ad On EntreCard.

First of all the main advantage for buying a high ECC advertisement is the fact that there are many well-known bloggers using the widget such as John Chow, John Cow, Tyler Cruz and so on. So straight away your guarenteed traffic if your blog or website is approved by these big names. Secondly your advertisement on these big named blogs will mot definitley be placed on a high-exposed area, which again guarentees the traffic. Moving onto the disadvantages. Comparing it to the ‘Buying Many Ads With Your ECC’s’ straight away the difference will be traffic. Your probably going to get healthy traffic from only the one high paid advertisement and the traffic from this would probably be higher than possibly 3 or 4 smaller paid advertisements. But moving previously to the point about your ad or site/blog being accepted. You could be saving ECC’s for about a week maybe two to try and get this high paid advertisement and it all ends in tears when the webmaster of the site/blog doesn’t accept your advertisement - so again this is another thing to think about.

Overall my time with EntreCard has been enjoyable and I will continue to use it. I would love to hear your thoughts on it and if you agree or disagree with what this blog post has been talking about.

Kindest regards and thank you for reading.
