Is EntreCard Really Worth It??

Hi all…
For the last few weeks, I’ve been attempting to do the EntreCard dance every day… Dropping at least 100 cards, sometimes more than 200 if time allowed, and my traffic has grown considerably. I’m getting about as much traffic as cards I drop in a day. It’s averaging about 100 pageviews a day at […]

So if you’ve seen the Smorty ads, you know a few things already… It’s a get-paid-for-reviews kind of system that […]


EntreCard and Driving Traffic

Hi all…

I’ve been trying out EntreCard for the last few days on my other site — Lair of the Green Knight — and I have to admit that my traffic has increased. And I’ve had a few additional comments from some of those who have stopped by. The comments were via the EntreCard site, but […]

Coming back up to speed…

Hi all…
I survived my surgery and am now just recovering… Thank goodness for pain pills and naps. Hopefully within another few days I’ll have my wits about me enough to write some things that make sense.
