Welcome to Friday – and since I can’t go see The Dark Knight tonight, I have decided to try to drag the Entrecard Community out into the open air of the rest of the Internet. Now, I will start out by saying that I am a card carrying (hee) member of the community, and I have reaped the benefit of some new friends, new visitors, and carpal tunnel. That said – I am now going to say what I want, cause I need to kill some time before Carnival Friday really starts. I am also going to put random links in each of my points to stuff I like so that people who don’t have websites have a reason to read this.
- If you rely on EC for all of your traffic, or you have a site that is ABOUT EC, then you need to die. Well, maybe die is harsh. But if you can’t even get your aunt or someone to look at your site, you must suck. If you are just starting out it’s one thing, but if you only get traffic from EC, then your website must not be very good. (click here to have a chick moan your IP)
- Stop saying blog, blogger, blogging, blogosphere and anything else with blog in it. Say website. Blog makes you sound like some emo dope. Also, LOGS should always be dusty books with the last entry saying something like: “Jan 18 – Shiverston’s corpse…still preserved by cold…and strangely attractive. The bells? Father? My God…”
- If you are going to fight with people on EC – do it on your own site. Like this (holy shit).
- If you are an Internet Marketing Wizard, and we are both on Entrecard, what exactly are you going to teach me? Are you going to charge me money for tips (which I would respect) or are you going to try to get me to sign up for ad programs that you will get credit for, thus making you not an INTERNET marketer, but rather a MARKETER TO DUMMY WEBSITE OWNERS. Which is fine, but whatever. Look at this scary ass house! (it has an annoying voice ad, though).
- Stop treating Entrecard like it is the World Bank. If you do it the way it is designed, then you might get some new visitors and if your site does not suck, they might come back.
Entrecard is like a trade show. Everyone there is selling something. That’s what annoys me the most. So I am going to ask you, the readers, EC’ers as well, to tell me what your favorite EC site is. Link it in the comments. Vote for yourself. I don’t give a shit. Whoever gets the most votes will get a big fancy post about them here. So how about it? What’s the site you would read if you DIDN’T own a website, EC folks? And the rest of you – click this link below and see if there is anything you like – then come back and tell us.

So let’s go. I want to know what site you like to READ – not what one you like to drop on. Nerds.
No tags for this post.
I think that scary house is way cool. No lie. Some paint, a little spackle and it’d be good to go.
I like Gorilla Sushi, So Now What? and some others, but I’m too damned lazy to copy anymore flippin’ links.
I also, I am not an Internet Marketer so whatever. And if I wasn’t a part of EC I’d spend too much time on SU and/or PUMA websites. Or did you mean which sites would I continue to visit were I banned? Hmm. Well, see above. Also any on my linkroll, because I’m old school enough I still use that to read my fav websites.
I cant decide which is worse: the personal diary ones or the marketing ones.
I recently came accross your blog and have been reading along. I thought I would leave my first comment. I dont know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading. Nice blog.

Well I’d say this one, but that sounds too much like ass kissing so I’ll pick another one I read often.
I read “A little piece of me”. I love the doodles!

Henson’s Hell; Roxiticus Desperate Housewives, and The ABBA Site.
Jinx, I did mean the latter. ‘Visiting’ a site in the EC world is meaningless for the most part. Out of the 300 drops you can do, the number of sites that one are ‘visiting’ is what? 10 max? The rest is putting a leaflet under the windshield wiper.
I don’t read many sites on EC…I used to read Gorilla… but I started to get bored… I’ll stop by here…or The Monkey and then just random crap…
Your scary pic house is pretty sweet… I love going into vacant old homes alone… @_@
That house isn’t even remotely scary. Motherfucking GORGEOUS is what it is! WOW.
I found your web site through dropping and I totally love reading it. 🙂 Seriously.
I have several sites that I frequent, through Bloglines, but I like any site that updates regularly.
Hi,
Because you don’t give a shit I vote for my site. 🙂

Well, I nominate mine and you’ll think it’s the worst since I do both marketing and personal crap. I like it though and I like yours. I promise I’m not kissing ass by adding you to my blogroll. Promise! 🙂
I see this is an old post, but I love what you have to say about the system.
I felt compelled to tell you that I read the entire article. I didn’t click on any of the links…but it is nearly 3:00 in the morning here. (not that it matters…)
