I couldn't agree more. Went off for a weekend and I was way off the charts. But then again, EntreCard promises traffic but not the quality of it. However, I do notice that commenting on others' sites (consistently) helps quite abit. Unfortunately, that takes up time as well... which I cannot very well afford.
Cheer up mate!

I have a lot of people on Entrecard in which I consider as "friends". Not true friends, but people (by their entrecard profile logo unfortunately) that are familiar enough to be considered as friends.

You're entirely right, the whole thing is false.
Having said that though, I've never dropped anything like even half the maximum cards so I can't complain about effort. Yet I've come across some interesting blogs and "met" people I'll continue to visit, so it hasn't been a complete waste. And there are two who visit me on a semi-regular basis :)

Gary, do you need a hug?

Can't agree more. I've been a victim when I left town for a while. My daily advert rate dropped from 51 to 18 within five days. Of course this occurrence has left me wondering if it's worth the time spent on dropping.
But as "A" says, you can stumble on some of the best blogs through Entrecard dropping. In fact I have identified some true "friends" with whom we are starting a dropping club. To join, new members are required to agree to spend quality time on other members' sites. If interested, you can leave a comment on the safariwagon site. See you there.

Well-written! I agree with you 100%. Yet I found you via EntreCard... hehe. Most of the users just drop and leave. I'm guilty of that myself sometimes, but I do try to check out at least a few headlines and see what catches my eye.
I too have noticed the huge amount of time you can lose just dropping cards. It can be a bit addicting, but it's not worth artificially inflating your traffic numbers. There's just too much work involved that way!

I have an entecard account but to be honest, it is alot of time. I think it is better served commenting on other people's sites and forums as well as writing good content then trying to get artifical traffic.
Shane, that was really funny. Come visit me on my site. I can use a hug once and awhile. Sometime with all this digging, stumbling, and other means I feel like a hampster on a wheel. Does anyone else feel the same???
