Every so often you visit a blog and think “Great Post!” and then feel a compelling desire to reward the author.  That’s because on turnipofpower.com I subliminally play an ultra high frequency sound file that says “Great Post! Reward the author!” over and over.  On other blogs, this feeling may indeed be genuine.  So how can [...]

Just the name alone makes me laugh.   Entrecard Popper!  What the hell is it?  “It’s a WordPress Plugin that pops your Entrecard up to the top middle of the page when a user comes from an Entrecard surfing site, otherwise it stays where you put it.”  In other words, when an Entrecard User visits your page, [...]

Being a long time Entrecard user, I decided to give Bumpzee a try.  Bumpzee! is another social networking site that works a little differently than Entrecard.  All Entrecarders are welcome to come give it a try with me and post their impressions here.   I created a community called “Entrecard” at Bumpzee anyone can join as long as they have [...]

The Problem Let’s face it. Most of the sites we see when dropping cards aren’t really blogs. Oh sure, they run WordPress or Blogger, and they have a few articles that let them get some SEO for the AdSense. But do they ever update or write interesting posts? Are they simply pay-per-post manure passing as a blog? [...]

I really have to wonder when I hear people complaining about bounce rates.   Google defines a bounce rate as the percentage of single-page visits or visits in which the person left your site from the entrance (landing) page.  It has NOTHING to do with a measure of quality.  Some brain-dead people have a single page [...]

I recently installed the Noscript plugin for the Firefox Browser.  I use IE7 for general web browsing, but use Firefox for Entrecard dropping, stumbling, and for my Alexa toolbar. For those who drop cards off a list and want to get through their 300 as quickly as possible, read on. For those who like pages [...]
