As you can tell from the age of my blog, I am fairly new to blogging but I have learned a lot in the first three days my blog has been in operation. Yesterday, the second day of operation, according to my stats I had 170 unique page views. Today (3rd day my blog has been up), looking at my stats right now it says I have had 690 unique visits and 1,063 page loads--which tells me most of my visitors are sticking around to see what else I have on my blog. Like I said I'm new to blogging so maybe those figures are average, but it's the most traffic I've ever had and it's all been due to NETWORKING with other bloggers via sites such as BlogCatalog, discussion forums/communities, EntreCard, various social bookmarking communities. I don't think anyone is ever "content" with the amount of visitors they will get to their blog, even if the numbers are up there, so I guess you can say everyone is on a "never-ending quest for more blog visitors" but I think I'm off to a great start if you are willing to take any tips from a beginner ;-) I also came across your website via EntreCard, so that just goes to show how powerful it is already, and it has surprised me and this is only the second day I’ve had it up (only the 3rd day my blog has been up).

I don't see the "drop yours" button at the bottom of the widget as explained in the Help column.Instead I saw the "Get one" button. I was wondering if I have so much difficulty just to drop a card, the multititude of bloggers out there may have the same problem and such things happen, Entrecard may not loose its members in no time. I was at the edge of giving up until I saw the comment on this post that the widget does not work with IE. I will give it a try with Firefox and see whether it works. But overall, I think this is an innovative idea of generating traffic but if it does not work with IE, it may not go far.

Noted your problems with IE7, I think we got a similar report from a couple of people via the feedback widget. The problem seems to be that we use an "off-domain" cookie to determine who you are and it isn't being detected properly. I'm going to go have a play with IE7 and see if I can figure out a workaround for us. Hrm.

Dropping cards is a great way for initial people to earn credits which is why I spent a little time dropping quite a few tonight. Of course every time you drop one you are raising the price for advertising on that particular site. I'm going to try it a while and see how much traffic I can garner from the process.

It preys on blogger vanity to see who is checking you out. It's also fun to discover new sites to drop your card. I'm surprised you haven't seen other people's widget to drop off yours. Anyways, we'll see this becomes a hit. So far, it has given me curious lookers than Blogrush ever has. Maybe the novelty of dropping cards will wear off but it's working now. I just have to get them to stay :) Hi there,
