The overall success of EntreCard has been seen first hand here at this blog. The smart system of card dropping, when setup right at your blog can certainly bring traffic to you.
Ideally suited to newer and mid-range blogs - it's a great way to boost visitors and give your blog the injection it needs. A couple of things I have found worked well to increase your success from EntreCard are as follows; now while they might sound basic - many EntreCard users aren't doing them.
1. Get yourself not only a unique 'card' or avatar, but aim to make the view curious. Many experts think that explaining your niche within the picture is best and while this has its place, to attract the most amount of users -make them wonder and get totally curious about your picture, forcing them to visit. Curiousity is key. A good example of the ideal avatar is seen on the left. Through this unusual picture, the blog in question quickly jumped up the rankings to achieve a high spot in the 'self help' niche.2. Secondly ensure your EntreCard widget placement is at the top of your blog. Many feel that by putting the widget at the bottom of your blog, it forces the visitor to 'read' your blog before finding / clicking the widget. This will only serve to anger the EntreCard visitors and reduce the chance they will 'revisit' to card drop again. Don't fear a quick card drop, if the visitor from EntreCard comes again they may be enticed by future articles with content that appeals to them more. 'Think long term for success'
Overall, EntreCard is simply a great idea and a bustling community has been quickly born. Embrace it and watch the traffic boom in.
