How to drop faster Entrecards

This is a post just for the members of Entrecard who

• have less time but also want to earn some ECs for advertising on other blogs or for cashout
• want to find the EntreCard-Widget faster
• may need a "special" list of EntreCard members (instead of using the EntreCard-Inbox)

I found some pages which offer EntreCard lists for a faster dropping and at the end of this post some amazing tools (widget pop-up)/plug-in/add-ons:

• The first one is from AskMrsRecipe, one of my loyal dropper -> EntreCard Droplist (more than 300 blogs)

• The second one is from The Matthias Chronicles, loyal dropper, too -> EntreCard Droplist (more than 300 blogs, with screenshots)

• The EC-Blog community made in December 2008 two lists -> First EntreCard Droplist (300 Blogs), Second EntreCard Droplist

• In January Junkfoodaholic made an "above the fold" list. There the Drop Widget are all on/near the top of the page (no/less scrolling) -> EntreCard Above the fold Droplist
  
  
• In May 2009 Blog with Wings made an "above the crease" list which is similar to Junkfoodaholic's list -> EntreCard Above the crease Droplist
  
  
• Buraot made his "fast dropper list" already a year ago (by clicking on one of the number 10 Tabs will be opened automatically!) -> EntreDropper
  
  
• For Slogbite members is also a special EntreCard Droplist available -> EntreCard Droplist
  
  
• Special list for Chinese members (who cannot access Blogspot/Blogger.com-Webpages!). There is also a list for shared Adgitize/EntreCard-Blogs available (by clicking on one of the symbols several windows will be opened automatically!) -> EntreCard Non-Blogspot Droplist + Chinarens EC/Adgi Double Whammy Droplist
  
  
• Trader's Hub has published his EntreCard Droplist in a widget which you can place on your blog and increase the page rank of everyone else (yourself included) -> EntreCard Droplist Widget
  
  
• This list from Voice of Bragg is completely different. There you don't have to visit the webpage of the blogs. It just shows the little yellow "drop" button of the member. You click on it and then you have already visited the "blog" -> EntreCard Fast Droplist
  
  
• On the website from ECATF you can find
  
  
  Their list include members who have a high popularity (means they drop back) and a second list provides members who display the Top Droppers on their Frontpage or give them once a month link love by posting their Top Droppers (backlinks)!
  
  They provide some additional tools for Adgitize and Entrecard on their frontpage.
  
  
• There are some Ringsurf List available if you like to drop your cards this way (the widgets are usually above the fold) -> EntreCard Ringsurf Nr. 362 and EntreCard Ringsurf Nr. 876
  
  
• On MamaFlo's Place you can find a "drop" list with blogs who don't accept paid ads (fully 24 hours exposure for your EC paid ads) -> No Paid Ad Blog Droplist
  
  
• The list at The Troubled Economy is from April 2009 and at the moment there are still over 100 links left so that the list reach the 300 mark! -> EntreCard Droplist
  
  
• The list at To Make money online is very new, you can add your link there and can choose one of the nice badges for your blog, too -> EntreCard Droplist
  

1. Another possiblity would be to create your own favorite list with the help of the EntreCard-Toolbar for Firefox. There you can add the blogs you like (or/and the one who dropped back at you) by clicking on the "Heart"-Symbol. The next time you only have to click on the arrow (when you want to open 10 windows immediately, click on the double arrow-symbol) and the favorite blog(s) will be displayed.
   
   
2. Now we get to the ultimate fast Dropper-Entrecard-Tool. Today Dustin from Blogfiction posted his Entrecard-Pop-up tool for Firefox.
   
   
   In connection with the Firefox Browser, the add-on Greasemonkey and his tool-code it's possible that the Entrecard-Widget will be always displayed in the left corner of your page!
   
   Just open all the desired EntreCard windows and then let the Pop-up display the widget in the left corner, simply click with the mouse on the "Drop"-Button and close the actual window with Ctrl+F4 or change to the next window with Ctrl+Tab.
   
   
3. For Wordpress you can download since one year a special Entrecard Popper Plugin (i saw it only once last week while dropping) which makes this pop-up automatically for your EntreCard widget (no matter which Internet Browser). Here you can download the WordPress Plugin Entrecard Popper.

Please inform me if you would like your own EntreCard Droplist mentioned in this article or if you have other methods which help the members to drop faster and easier our Entrecards!

How to earn more money with Adgitize

Some persons may know already about Adgitize, the Network with World Class Advertising on a Blogger's Budget (only 14 $ for one month, exposure on 1.500 member blogs!).

Here are some tips to get more out of this traffic and money making program:

How to get more or even all points daily?

1. You get points for publish one quality article each day. No matter how many blogs you add, you only get 100 points for one article (if you have two blogs and publish on each a post, you don't get 200 points!)
   Advice: Publish daily ONE article!
   
   
2. There are at the moment more than 120 advertisers active in Adgitize. If you want to reach the 100 points for each day, you have to click on 100 ads that are available by "chain-clicking" the members web pages. When you reached 100 advertisers, the number 100 will show up (there are steps between already like 5, 10, 15, 25, 40, 60...)!
   Advice: Click daily all available ads!
   
   
3. Increase your Page and Ad views with the help of Entrecard. If you join Entrecard, you can drop cards on other blogs. Usually most of the members drop their cards back on your blog which means you get additional traffic. This increases your Page view and Ad view points in Adgitize and gives you some more comments and followers for your blog!
   Advice: Open an account in Entrecard (more about Entrecard and how to make money with it on Cornymans Moneypage ;-) )!
   
   
4. Double your Ad views by publishing two Adgitize Ad Groups on your blog/website. You are allowed to show 10 ads. So you can choose one single ad group and another group would be with nine ads. Or you can choose different ad groups but in a sum it should be not more than 10 ads!
   Advice: Put two times the Ad code on your blog!
   
   
5. Advice: Advertise with Adgitize and get 100 additional advertising points (50+ visits/clicks on your ads are needed)!
   

How much money do i get for my points?

There is no fixed price for the points. The amount of your earnings is depending on the daily available amount from the advertisement revenue from Adgitize. There is no guarantee that these number might be the same in the future!

Here are some figures which have been published by the founder of Adgitize, Ken Brown and from my own experience:

0 to 99 points: 0.01 $
100 to 199 points: 0.02 - 0.03 $
200 to 299 points: 0.15 - 0.28 $
300 to 400 points: 0.30 - 0.50 $
400 to 500 points: 0.51 - 0.88 $

How easy can it be to achieve more than 200 points each day to earn a decent amount?

Look at my advice list and you see that you have to do only two things daily!

1. Publish ONE article on your blog - 100 points
   
   
2. Click all available ads - another 100 points
   
   
3. Get more traffic/page views - i got usually around 100 to 250 page views which equals to 1.500 to 3.000 ad views, for that you can get 10 page view points and 25 ad view points. After joining as advertiser and dropping more cards in Entrecard my page views reached 2.000 to 2.700 equal to over 10.000 ad views, for this you will receive 60 page view points and 100 ad view points.
   100 points are available when you get daily around 10.000 page views :-(
   
   
4. Advertise on Adgitize and get the spent money one month later back:
   Like you can see, you can earn around 35 to 60 cents more each day when you would advertise (and visit other blogs + blog yourself each day), this would mean you earn 11 $ - 18 $ more each month. And one month advertisement is just 14 $!
   
   
5. Find referrals for Adgitize and earn additional up to 5 $ for their first advertisement and if they prolong their advertisement, you will get 1$ for every monthly renewal!

I have a special offer for Entrecard members:

You will get

1. 500 ECs for joining Adgitize (putting the code on your blogs) and

If you decide to advertise with Adgitize

1. you will get 3 $ via paypal (after approval from Adgitize)

The facts about the swine flu - H1N1 virus

Some short facts about the "swine flu":

• At the moment there is a high accumulation of cases and deaths. The accumulation of cases happens with every illness which can be transferred by coughing, sneezing and body contact (touching hands, kissing...) compare it with the normal influenza which many persons get each year
  
  
• The virus is not just transmitted from the pigs. It is an unusual hybrid virus from different animals + human and from different locations of the world:
  Avian and swine virus from North America, swine flu strain from Asia and a human influenza strain.
  How can a pig in Mexico get a swine flu strain from Asia? Never saw a flying pig ;-)
  Are Pigs the real infectious reason for it or does the disease just need a new name?
  Most possible it is a laboratory generated virus, isn't it?
  
  
• Comparing the bird flu with the normal influenza will have similarities with the actual swine flu!
  There have been over 400 human bird flu cases since 2003, over 250 persons died afterwards
  Actually there are 1490 official cases reported by the WHO and 30 of them died in the last days (Source: Influenza A (H1N1) - update 16 - 5th May 2009, daily one or two updates!) .
  Looks like there are less death persons than from the "bird flu", just more swine flu cases at once.
  Deaths by the normal influenza (in the United States of America): 36.000 per year, worldwide up to 500.000, bird flu death toll on average 40 per year!
  
  
• UPDATE 05.05.2009: Schools should not be anymore closed if a kid shows symptoms of swine flu
  Short summary of the news:
  The kids should just stay seven days at home, Swine flu no more dangerous than the seasonal flu!
  

The only tips i want to give:

1. Take care of your hygiene,
2. wash your hands more often each day,
3. avoid crowded place like public transportation, Fast food restaurants (many youths who don't care that much about clean hands ;-))
4. look out for signs in other persons but don't think everyone who sneezes has the swine flu :-)
5. Give your immune system in advance the right nutrition, vitamins and minerals.

Good luck, stay healthy and happy, don't panic!!
