   Good post. I only drop on sites that keep their widget high on the page. I’m not there to play “where’s waldo” with the stupid thing. If someone puts the widget in their footer, then they are doing a disservice to their readers and their advertisers.

2. CrAzY Working Mom Said,

   Some people are not going to read the posts no matter if you had the widget right in the middle of it. So, I think as long as it’s in an easily found spot then it’s good for everyone. I’ve found some great new sites through EC, so I think it’s a great idea.

   Good post!

3. Wilhelmina Said,

   I agree.

   If I find something interesting, might as well read it. Blogs that I visit usually are not filled with ads to confuse me. I drop ecs, but not so much anymore with my busy schedule as of late. I still have more to learn with dropping Entrecards and from when we met, I think you know enough to give up some more knowledge about it.

   I actually want to make a post about bloggers who “buried” their widget down deep in their blogs, they are such a headache. The problem with some of them is you can’t find both a good read and their widget.

   I owe my PR and Alexa Rank sa widget este sa Entrecard :), pinoy ka pala. Ayun napansin ko sa comment

5. manilenya Said,

   ngeks!! ceblogger kaw pala yan lol…inaantok na yata ako ayan una kasi sa post ako lagi nakatingin e di ko tinitignan ang header lol!

6. ceblogger Said,

   turnip, i certainly agree with you.

   crazy working mom, if they’re not reading, at least they’re dropping.

   wilhelmina, 30-40 drops a day ain’t bad. use firefox and bookmark your fave sites for a more efficient dropping and reading.

7. ceblogger Said,

   melai, true true. can’t find both widget and a good content. what more can i add to that? ha ha. the entrecard is really a boost to our alexa rankings.

8. Sonnie Said,

   additional tip:

   put an ad below your ec widget. they may not read your post, the ad may catch their interest and click it.

9. manilenya Said,

   Thanks for the tip Sonnie

10. ceblogger Said,

    thanks for the tip sir sonnie. i got some ads below my widget. i’ll do that in my other blogs too!

11. Lulugal11 Said,

    I am still using EC and my widget has always been above the fold. I really dislike the blogs who hide their EC and make you hunt for it….and I just end up avoiding them.

    I do not worry about the bounce rate (although I should) because I know that while there are people who drop and run there will always be someone who will stop and read something sometime.

    I have found great new blogs to read from dropping and have even gotten some links back from places where I left comments and then the blogger came to check out my blog.

    I do not hold my breath waiting for some EC miracle…but so far it has worked okay for me.

    yuh! i used to put my entrecards to lowest portion of my blog. and notice wala jud mudrop kay wa man na ‘thank you’. hehehehe. Ako na cyang gbalhin sa taas nya ako gtangtang ako tagboard para magamit ang comments. nice post ceb.

13. ceblogger Said,

    lulugal11, i totally agree with you on this. entrecard is one of the good things that happened in the world wide web.

    keith, thanks! putting the widget above the fold is one way of encouraging others to advertise on your site.

14. Pinay Mommy Said,

    hmmm…i like the way you write. very honest and informative. nice post!!

    as for me, i put my widget above-fold. it would make it better for everybody. and some droppers, do read posts.

15. pinaywife Said,

    you’re right on! some blogs maybe likes playing hide and seek with their droppers. at times I reload the page just to be sure if the widget is in place only to find it at the bottom part..

    in the first place, i wont drop and run if the content is good..
