When you start using Entrecard, you think that the most “popular” blogs are the ones receiving the most traffic. Unfortunately, that’s not really true. Sure, they are receiving the most ENTRECARD traffic, but probably not much in the realm of traffic from other sources, this includes my blog. Popularity rating is just how many users are dropping on you per day. When I advertise on the more “popular” blogs I get more drops in turn, mainly because there are a lot of “chain droppers” out there. All this dropping is good fun, but is it really accomplishing anything? Maybe a little, but I know most people that drop me are fly by droppers. Probably most of my traffic is bounced, though google analytics says it’s not I’m going to guess the 2 page views is actually 1 analytics just records 2 for some reason. Which would mean my bounce rate is extremely high.
The thing is, I’ve seen blogs that are supposedly popular, and yet the site itself looks highly inactive 
That means that the only reason people are going there is for the all mighty widget, so they can drop.
I would like Entrecard to implement something like ProjectWonderful traffic stats. It’s pretty difficult to find out which sites are actually receiving traffic from other sources. Maybe I would like to advertise on a blog that’s not receiving all Entrecard traffic. It’s pretty difficult to find such a blog with EC’s current system. On top of that, the most popular blogs have an insanely high EC credit amount to advertise on, and it’s just not worth it to spend your EC there. In my opinion, you should stay below 512EC, but I’ve spent over a thousand EC on an advertisement before, just because I had extra credits and I didn’t know what to do with them. I suppose I should have gave them away
Choose wisely when advertising on Entrecard. In a way, you’re better off advertising on a ton of 2-32EC blogs, then ever bothering with the more popular ones. Unless you are trying to get your popularity rating up, advertising on the top blogs might get it up for you.
Entrecard’s system doesn’t work all that well, and that’s why a lot of people have dropped Entrecard and stopped using it completely.
) are not manually clicking through entrecard. Some have lists of people made up for their drops. My method is a little different, and I think maybe a little better, I don’t know. Timing is also important, the best time to drop is 12AM eastern. I don’t do this all the time, but I do it when I can. I need sleep just like everyone else
