I Won 1,000 Entrecard Credits!

I never win anything... WAIT... I won!! I won!! I was one of 5 winners who received 1,000 Entrecard credits from Problogger.net. Problogger.net is a site dedicated to helping other bloggers learn the skills of blogging, share their own experiences and promote the blogging medium. After Darren Rowse (the owner of Problogger.net) Interviewed Entrecard’s Graham Langdon he ran a competition to give away his Entrecard credits to some lucky ProBlogger readers. Out of 191 entries, I was one of the 5 who won! Thanks Darren!

If you are a blogger, you have probably heard by now of Entrecard. For those of you who haven't, I'll briefly explain it.

If you look in my far right sidebar under the title Blog Of The Day, there is a 125 x 125 ad space. This is an Entrecard. If you click it, it will take you to a blog of another Entrecard network member.

What is Entrecard and how does it work? It's defined as 'a free social advertising network for bloggers'. With a 125×125 space that you can create or get from Entrecard you can advertise, for free, on any blog in the network. You pay for your ad space with Entrecard Credits instead of real money. You earn your credits by visiting other blogs and leaving your card for the owner.

Here is an example of my Entrecard:









Entrecard can help increase traffic to your blog in two ways: 1) members visit your site to click on your Entrecard to earn credits. 2) Visitors to sites where your Entrecard is advertised click to visit your blog.

Entrecard can definately be addicting! I've devoted more hours to reading blogs than I care to admit in the past week. However, it's been a lot of fun and I've actually learned a few things along the way.

So while you're here, be sure to show some love to fellow bloggers and click on the Entrecard!

Thanks!
