Blogging and Marketing Resources for the Average Blogger and Business
Overdue List Updates
In my effort to get re-engaged in the blogging process, one of the tasks I’ve been focused on is updating the “Above the Fold” lists for Adgitize and Entrecard enabled sites. As a blogger, it is good to adjust your site, testing new monetizaton strategies, better usability and overall evolution. But through this lense, sometimes these changes eliminate sites from the lists.
(And for Jody Burdette, your Blog Review has begun and will be published soon!)
I recognize Entrecard has gone through significant changes with ownership and strategy adjustments, but it still provides benefits on two very important fronts:
- Entrecard still provides an excellent environment to experience new blogs and to be experienced by others.
- For those just interested in “clicking for credits,” the widget shows whether you’ve clicked to day or not (a significant benefit for those combining Adgitize, since Adgitize doesn’t indicate today’s click.)
Nothing significantly new with Adgitize. They keep serving up blogs, offering advertising at attractive rates and fostering interaction in their own way.
Here’s a few changes just made to the Entrecard and Adgitize Above the Fold List:
- Business Sphere Consulting removed: Adgitize scrolling required
- Doug’s Missoula Blog removed: Adgitize scrolling required
- Healthy Herbal Products removed: Entrecard scrolling required; Adgitize gone
- Kamila The Camel removed: Adgitize scrolling required
- Jhtongson removed: Adgitize scrolling required
- The Ad Master removed: Adgitize and Entrecard scrolling required
- 113 Dir removed: Entrecard gone
- 2 Witches removed: Adgitize and Entrecard scrolling required
What this has uncovered for me is the need to address the Entrecard Above the Fold List as well. In fact, I see an Adgitize Only List coming soon.
As always, drop a note if you have others to add.
Thanks,
Dave

Updated Above the Fold Lists
about 8 months ago - No comments
Bloggers who pay attention to widgets from Adgitize and Entrecard have many reasons for doing so. One, of course is convenient “dropping.” We can debate the impacts on bounce rates vs. the exposure to new blogs. However, in this regard, the best blog real estate for any sort of advertising is “Above the Fold” on More >
Better Blog Badge Bonanza

OK, I admit this post’s name is a bit cute, but the topic is a result of taking some time off. Getting back into the blogging saddle has reminded me of some long overdue details. One is the lack of a real blog badge.

Multiple Blog Monetization
about 1 year ago - 1 comment
As I’ve explored many different blogs in a number of varied categories, I have found instances where the same apparent author has created multiple blog properties. They are all monetized and in some cases, look very much the same. The topics within those families vary to different degrees, but one thing seems to More >
Enhanced Drop Lists
about 1 year ago - No comments
The Ultimate Blogging Toolkit has been assembling an Entrecard “Above the Fold” drop list for some time now. It has been an excellent time saver for me and I hope for you as well. In using Entrecard, and more recently, Adgitize, I’ve found another drop list opportunity: sites with BOTH Entrecard AND Adgitize above the fold.
