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.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;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???&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Anna</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 29 Apr 2008 18:07:09 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Who Are You Friends?</title><link>http://gary.arndt.com/wordpress/2008/03/17/who-are-you-friends/#comment-2298532</link><description>&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;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!&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Joyful Digesting</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 24 Mar 2008 01:12:40 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Who Are You Friends?</title><link>http://gary.arndt.com/wordpress/2008/03/17/who-are-you-friends/#comment-2298531</link><description>&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Maroa N.

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 :)&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">A.</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 18 Mar 2008 05:24:45 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Who Are You Friends?</title><link>http://gary.arndt.com/wordpress/2008/03/17/who-are-you-friends/#comment-2298528</link><description>&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Michael Aulia</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 17 Mar 2008 21:28:14 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Who Are You Friends?</title><link>http://gary.arndt.com/wordpress/2008/03/17/who-are-you-friends/#comment-2298527</link><description>&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Cheer up mate!&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">C K</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 17 Mar 2008 18:17:06 -0000</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
