A few Viewers emailed me about the Featured Post and asked why it was such a good deal.
Let me explain:
For 100/EC per day (that’s right you need Entrecard. Great service, go get it!) your story will be exposed to up to 2,400 page views per day. (this is an average of the three weeks we have been running). In addition, along with all of our post, you can instantly see how many people have clicked the link to view and potentially have dropped on your blog.
For example:
In the above image you can see that this Featured Post had 80 people click on the link to view the actual post and therefore 80 potential EC Drops. It was also voted up 13 times within its 10 day run. Currently, the typical post gets around 7 votes and 5 or 6 page views within 10 days.
Since the Featured Posts targets individual Blog entries or contests, all the click-throughs will be targeted. Instead of 80 hits on your entire blog in different sections, you will get 80 views of a specific link. Because the Featured Post always is at the top of the Page for all link displaying pages, it ALWAYS gets looked at.
I hope that expalins it a little better.
If you are interested let us know.

The Holy Grail of Bloggers would seem to be making their first few dollars from Google via Adsense. Now I for one agree that it is great to actually get a check from the Goliath of the Internet, but many people become frustrated when they only see pennies come trickling into their account. Some Bloggers become disheartened and pack up shop and move on.
But for thos brave souls who have persevered and are making money with adsense, here is a post from Turnip of Power to help you along to your goal.
The folks over at Dectect Money also have some advice for Adsense:
Google lately made two very useful improvements on their Adwords money machine. The first one is the optional feature to be able to put keywords for certain placements (websites) on the content network.
Finally, Dot Com Mogul has some information on Google Adsense Backgrounds.
That’s all for now, More tomorrow!

One of the great things about having a social aggregation site is all the great links you get to pursue through on a daily basis. The sad thing is, we are so busy we barely get a chance to scour the links. So to remedy that we decided to look at a few posts a day and comment on how they can help you in your quest for more viewers, better Google PR or making more money.
A good example is the blog from 3 Blog Traffic Solutions helps a budding Blogger stay on the right track to increase their traffic and links.
Terry Dean’s Blog about the five keys to quickstart your blog is also a good read.
Do you have a tip or trick on your blog that others need to know about?
Then post it!

We are working on an easier way to vote for stories. Look for that to come online this week. Hopefully!.
We also have had some visitors ask us what the “views” mean. Well since our name is Entreview we figured that people would be more interested in how many views (Actual “Views” of their sites and possible conversions to Entrecard “drops”) then how many votes there were.
Of course, votes do matter a lot becuase the more votes your story has the higher you rise in the Top posts in each category which increases your chances of being viewed and dropped on.
BTW if you don’t have an Entrecard widget, you really need one. Go get one here.
In the example below, you can see the two ways to gauge your post.
- The first is by VIEWS. This counts how many people have clicked through to your site and potentially have “Dropped” on you.
- The second is by VOTES. This counts how many people have liked your site enough to boost it in the rankings. This is good because the higher you are the better your chances of getting “dropped” on.
Look for improvements to both in the short term!

Welcome to the Entreview blog. In the coming weeks we will be working on prettying-up the blog, but for now our concentration is focused on the social blog aggregator section of our site. We have been working hard behind the scenes and it is beginning to show results. It appears that we have leapt into the Alexa standings with a good representation in only 3 weeks.
We also recognize that Alexa only measures people with the Alexa toolbar installed and so is very skewed. But hey the graphs are kinda cool and anything that helps us burn through the midnight hours to improve the code is worth it.
Of course our Google PR is in the toilette with a rating of zero and they are still penalizing us for who knows what, but things at Entrecard have been good. We have been getting good traffic from them and people seem enthused to contribute to our site and build up their own sites. Keep it coming.
So this is just our welcome to the Blog message. Stop by and say “hI” if you care to!
