STOP FAST DROPPING TECHNIQUE
Starting last 02 weeks ago I was very interested found site offering fast drop entrecard system. With their system it is only take less than 1 second each drop. This techniques made my drop card so fast like flash.
I was drop daily between 250-300 cards. Meanwhile finally I just realized that this technique not help increase my traffic nor didn’t get back drop from them.
Unfair? Surely since I was drop 250-300 card daily and only get back drop less than 50 cards. Ratio only 6 : 1 or 5 : 1
Since last Monday I was decide not be a part and not using fast dropping anymore. As beginning join at entrecard, I was check my drop inbox and start drop my card there. Regularly I drop my card on my favorite and get good number of drops back.
Amazing my ratio now became 1 : 1
In the future I will doing this more seriously. I knew ratio of drops I had increased and better than ever. As suggested by expert droppers in the next day I will bookmarked who drop their card on mine. With that list I will drop my card daily and hope will get drop back from them as well . List will publish in the sort time.
Good idea. Too many people are fast dropping and not taking the time to actually contribute to other blogs.
i used to do the same thing, too … much better if I drop at the EC in my inbox.
I’ve never done the fast dropping technique. I like to spend time reading the blogs I visit, and sometimes even adding a comment. It is all about building community, finding readers, and finding good sites to read.
Over the past thirty days, I’ve done pretty well. I’ve dropped 7902 cards and received 5917 in return.
My strategy for dropping varies. I like to follow the EntreCard advertisements on people’s blogs. This leads me to a bunch of sites that don’t return drops.
I also like to visit sites that I’m considering advertising on. I typically run around 15 ads a day.
I like to check out people who have dropped on me recently, not only today, but over the past few days. Sometimes, it is nice to visit an old friend.
I like to drop on the most popular sites. There is a reason why they are popular.
I like to drop on sites that list their top droppers. Given my scattershot approach to dropping, I’m not likely to end up in many top lists, but it is worth a try. Also, those sites are likely to return drops.
I like to actually check out some blogs as I go. I like to comment every once in a while (as I just love me some comments!!). I also click on the ads to drop cards, but this often takes me in a circle.
Have a great day!!
Graham from Entrecard has post an alert to delete an account that using this fastdrop things starting July 1st…
I agree with all the above comments, and also , the real purpose of EC - that is building a community of bloggers- would be defeated if the fast drop system is used by us.
Good post.
I start by going to my inbox and returning drops. Then I move on to my que of advertisers, then on to my favorites. Usually this is all of the time I have. But, this will get me close to my daily limit. Fast dropping in the end doesn’t benefit anyone uless you’re just selling credits.
Great, informative post.
I’ve never tried the fast drops because it felt like cheating. I wouldn’t want people blasting past my own blog, so I try to pay attention to posts and actually read as I go.
I try to return drops consistently, and I always drop on the people who have ads pending for my blog. I also have a list of favorites that I use if I don’t hit the 300 mark with ads and the reciprocal drops.
ya…me tooo……i think its better to drops in your inbox rather than using fast technique dropping….
By utilizing the advertisement tool and commenting on the site you drop… will bring more drops to you. Trust me. I’m getting more than my drops each day and I’m not regret of not returning all my drops. At least, I’m able to give comment to their blog post. It is much more interesting than drop and go.
I too was dropping 250-300 times for each of my blogs in a week. I tried to create a list of people who dropped back, but it was never consistent.
Now I just drop on all the places that dropped on me the day before and on the current day and advertise on my main blog. On top of that I run a contest to promote checking out and dropping on my other sites and now I get atleast 200 drops a day just on one of my blogs. The other 3 I get about 100 each.
Before I was making about 1400 credits a day but spent all day dropping 1200 times. Now I get about 1000 each day and spend an hour dropping, not bad!
Thank you!
for being one of the Top 25 EC Droppers in my blog!
I drop on average only 50 cards a day. But I comment on at least 20-30 sites a day. Comments usually get a better return rate!
I usually return the EC drop from my Inbox, I havent used this fast dropping since I read that it does not really do good.
I don’t drop as many as I used to and spend a lot more time on the sites that I do drop on. There just isn’t enough discretionary time to get to all the great material out there! Keep up the good posts!
I just started dropping EC today and came across your site. I have no clue what you guys are talking about . Excuse my ignorance
! . Is it considered fast dropping if you drop a card from one blog to another via their advertised blog of the day? Like what I am doing now . . . I dropped you a card, then clicked on the blog you advertised on your EC widget. Then, I will drop him a card and so on and so forth . I would appreciate any comment on this . Thanks !
I agree with you that fast dropping doesn’t benefit you nor the other bloggers. The return rate is bound to be low, if everybody fast drops, Entrecard becomes a useless traffic exchange site.
In the long run, it is better to spend time reading and commenting on other blogs to leave a deeper impression.
I have written a blog post on this topic too.
