Wait… I know what you’re thinking? Doh! Nothing-new here… Everybody knows that Entrecard will increase web traffic. The big problem is it’s a bunch of junk traffic.

Folks just whiz by drop their card and leave. Barely stopping long enough to even notice the name of each blog. Maybe, maybe not…

What if I told you the traffic is not as junky as been reported? Would that surprise you? Or would you scoff and be on your way?

Here are 3 ways to improve quality of Entrecard traffic…

1. Drop on those who drop on you - Make a habit to drop on those that drop on you, and you’ll get repeat visitors. And repeat visitors are more likely to participate in your blog. I really noticed an upturn in my comments after doing this.
2. Buy ads in your category - Make sure to spend your credits in your category. I’ve seen some people advise to buy all the cheap ads to get your 125X125 out there.However my experience has shown that if you are advertising in your category traffic quality improves. Remember you want like-minded people coming to your blog.
3. Drop in your category - I know there are lists out there of fast loading blogs, you drop - I follow and others like these. These lists will allow you to rack up the credits fast ,and bring traffic to your blog.However unfocused dropping it why so many get “junk” traffic. It’s not really junk… it’s unfocused. You want people coming to your blog who already have an interest in the subject of your blog. Dropping in your category brings people like-minded visitors.

One thing I’ve noticed… most of the time our blogs could fit within multiple categories. I’ve found these tips work well with related categories. So, don’t limit yourself to the category your blog appears.

These 3 tips have helped increase the quality of the traffic. Plus, they have helped improve the popularity of this blog in the Entrecard categories.
