Despite my previous post detailing efforts to lower my bounce rate, I didn’t want to abandon Social Traffic completely. Social traffic brings in new visitors and it’s the goal of Turnipofpower.com to review social sites. So sacrifices must be made to keep the tips and tricks flowing.  Today’s guide is a quick study in using StumbleUpon along [...]

Being one to ignore bounce rates, I didn’t really care how long people stayed on my page.  As long as I had any visitors I was happy.  Last April I even wrote a particularly vehement article against bloggers whining about bounce rates.  Since then new evidence has come out and I’m ready to change that opinion.  If you care [...]

Wow, I never expected posting the keywords “Entrecard” and “asshat” in a twitter post to show someone the folly of scraping another social network’s content would have such far reaching consequences.  Friends from across the world have posted on my blog and sent personal emails wishing me well, including the owners of two other social [...]

In typical asshat fashion, former Million Dollar Wiki boy blunder Graham Langdon has banned the Turnipofpower.com account from Entrecard for using the Twitter service.  In addition, he is censoring all negative tweets regarding his own service.  Funny how he suddenly has time to monitor his long neglected business when it comes to defending his hat, [...]

As John from Make Nothing Online first reported, websites displaying the sitehoppin widget code are affected.  All visitors will be automatically redirected to a parked ad site.  For an example of the redirecting widget, visit blogtomic.com.  Sitehoppin was created by Max of Zedomax.com.  I’ve never been a fan of Sitehoppin, having originally called them out in [...]

 Dropaholics.com is a “made for Entrecard” site that I find very interesting.  Developed by Greg Mathews, it tells you who are the most prolific droppers based upon a small sample of the Entrecard community.  That makes 3 methods to date that attempt to provide this information to you.  Method 1: Manually look at a person’s Entrecard profile.  It [...]

CMF DIRECT: Is a free searchable directory.  Friends and potential advertisers can search for [...]

The tale that Monkey never told is the one everyone wants to hear.  For the last 8 months his blog Monkey Fables And Tales was the most popular blog at Entrecard.  Then 2 days ago his blog suddenly vanished from Blogspot with the following message “Sorry, the blog at monfat48.blogspot.com has been removed. This address is not [...]

Is Entrecard going the way of the Titanic?  The lack of activity in the Entrecard Forums sure makes it seem that way.  But is that the whole story?  How about taking a look at the actual dropping numbers.  Let’s go to the video tape! Above is a chart of the activity of Entrecard users on my droplist who [...]

CMF ADS is proud to announce an open beta for anyone interested in trying out it’s new service called CMF DIRECT.  The beta test is open to any blog written in the English language.  I inspect all blogs before activating their account, so no spam, porn, made for AdSense, pop-ups, or sites that I find annoying in [...]
