So Graham Langdon is selling Entrecard. He made his announcement in his Entrecard blog, and the starting bid was put at US$100,000.00 at the Sitepoint Marketplace. Whether Langdon is serious or not, it seems his decision to sell the blog network site with over 80 Million impressions per month, and over 100,000 blogs exchanging ads using 125×125 banner widget is something that he doesn’t want to do if only circumstances would allow.

According to Langdon, his desire to keep the site up and running would cost him a lot and giving it to a company with enough resources and money is just the right thing to do to continue serving the thousands of blogs in its network. But with the failed negotiations with Venture Capitalists lately left him wrecked, and he’s still not back to his feet, and he’s come into a stalemate and could not keep up with Entrecard’s growth.

Graham Langdon isn’t new to selling a site which started to be some brilliant idea and became successful. He sold milliondollarwiki.com for some nice amount of money (not sure if he made about US$50,000.00) from that - and it is supposed to stay alive for 15 years but now it’s dead. Some people are thinking that Langdon may have come to realize the slow demise of Entrecard’s popularity and is seeing the opportune time to sell it - while it still bites. Many issues and controversies were hurled against Entrecard recently, but its loyal members (including me) stick to it and even wrote lots of articles about the benefits of using Entrecard and how to improve the EC dropping community among others.

I have not been active with Entrecard dropping and advertising lately. I have not been to the Forums site. I used to be a regular EC dropper and ‘forumer’. But due to tight and busy skeds, I have skipped dropping save for some sites that have dropped on my EC widgets, and of course my friends’ sites as well.

Graham claims Entrecard is currently enjoying 80 million impressions, 85,000 uniques, 3.25 Million page views, and US$2,000.00 revenue per month. Figures that each interested buyer has to verify. Do you think Entrecard would be a good site for anyone with the money to buy?

I have long given up dropping 300 entrecards in a day. In fact, I dropped 300 entrecards only thrice since I joined Entrecard last January. On the average, I can only drop 50 entrecards, and for the last 8 weeks, I only managed dropping10 - 20 entrecards per day. Of course I am dropping entrecards to those who dropped on me, then explore a few new Entrecard sites each day.

On the average, I receive 40-70 drops a day. Admittedly, I cannot reciprocate all of those who dropped on me. But how do I return back the favor? Somehow, my Entrecard dropping habit probably contribute to the fact that I am only able to drop so much in a day. Got to admit, I’m a very busy person and blogging is not a priority, and that includes dropping Entrecards.

For a long time, I always wanted to have my own site directory. Then I thought probably coming up with a site directory for all blogs would be cool, however, there are already a lot of blogs directory out there.

I rather worked on a blog directory for blogs with the entrecard widgets. Don’t know if this is useful - but what the heck. After tinkering some PHP and HTML codes which I have zero knowledge, I finally have my site directory that I call the Entrecard Blogs Directory.

The objective is simple - list all blogs with the entrecard widgets and probably speed up my daily entrecard dropping. The site directory is also very simple, and easy to use. If you guys (and gals) want to have your Blog listed, feel free to add it up at Entrecard Blogs Directory. If you want to suggest a category, please leave a comment with your suggested Category.

By the way, I used the entrecard name and widget logo (but put a disclaimer on the site that it’s not affiliated with Entrecard.com and that the Entrecard logo and name is owned by Entrecard). If in anyway I have violated something, please feel free to inform me so I can make a quick corrective action.

On the side: Pepsi or Coke? Choco or Vanilla? Briefs or boxers? Take the survey and find out.

Wow its only a few weeks from now when Google once again manifests their might to all netizens and bloggers alike - Page rank update.

I don’t know much about this ranking thing and SEO, but I do dream of getting a better page rank for my site as well. With so much going on lately in terms of traffic generation and site hits - there’s no doubt Entrecard will play a vital role in getting better page rank.

Some entrecarders did really well in getting as much traffic to their sites through contests and strategies to ‘lure’ other entrecarders into their sites. But its not just all entrecard - these are blog sites with excellent contents as well.

And here’s my fearless forecast for my top 5 favorite entrecarders, in no particular order:

Lately I was so inspired by Master Deimos’ Reciprocative EntreCarders Guild (REG) I was really looking for a way to be able to drop those entrecards for at least 200 per day despite my busy and hectic Consulting sked, besides I am always on mobile since my project right now is outside Metro Manila. Sometimes I can’t get a decent 3G signal in provinces, mostly I am on a GPRS internet connection on my PLDT We-Roam.

Then I managed to get on Walt’s technique over at Powerdropping.com and I started dropping cards like a Pro. But the idea of “reciprocating” those who were kind enough to visit my site and drop their cards on my entrecard widget is much more important to me than hitting those 300 credits limit per day. There’s the RSS feed of all those who dropped their entrecards on your widget but it is a two-click process. I wanted a one-click step then I’m on my valued visitor’s site.

EntreCarders are not just mad droppers, but genius as well. Or maybe I haven’t noticed (and probably too dumb to notice) that there was a way far more better way to “reciprocate” my visitors other than the usual RSS feed that Entrecard provides. There is indeed a “button” secretly placed in my entrecard dashboard, and perhaps I’m the only one who doesn’t know about it yet - but I’m so glad I found it at last! Thanks to Rome over at Income For Everyone (and to Cecilia at YouShouldOwn.com to whom this guy credits this discovery).
