It’s been 2 months since my last droplist update.  Because it takes me over 2 hours to check the stats on 300 sites, I don’t update the list that often anymore.  For everyone who wants to download it, here is the link to Turnip’s Entrecard Droplist.  Simply unzip the file, open FireFox bookmarks, and import.  For those who would like to ad their name to my list next time it updates, read the information about Turnip’s Drop List.

Why is this list useful?

  1. People new to Entrecard can find sites to drop on that actually drop back.  Not sites displaying some stupid badge claiming they return drops, but never do.
  2. It let’s people drop using their browser as a referrer, not their inbox, which shows up in stats listing Entrecard as the referrer.  You don’t want your visit to be counted as “Junk Traffic”.
  3. Dropping from a list is much faster than using the inbox or even the toolbar, letting you drop first on those who reciprocate most, not those who spam your inbox at midnight.
  4. It shows overall trends in Entrecard.  Using the graph below, you can pretty much calculate that by dropping X number of days in a row on these people, this is how many drops you can expect in return.
  5. It highlights the most active people in Entrecard who support my site, and the direct correlation between people active in the forums and those that tend to drop 25-30 times a month.

Entrecard Droppers

About the chart:  On the left are the number of people who dropped that many cards.  On the bottom are the number of cards they dropped in 30 days.  All these people had 30 cards dropped on them, though not all 30 drops may have registered.  The CMF ADS Portfolio is a select group of blogs beta testing a new Advertising Agency.  They were handpicked from sites I drop on, and in my opinion are the finest blogs Entrecard has to offer.  If you are looking for a good blog to read or advertise on, check out these first.

After removing the people who never reciprocate or had popup ads, 250 people were left on the list.  Even with all the Entrecard slowdowns over the last couple of weeks, you can see that the majority of my visitors drop almost every single day.  Here’s the secret of Entrecard.   Forget the silly advertising for credits nonsense.  Drop your 300 cards on the right people and be active in the forums.
