Blog Catalog

Of all the SEOs and friendship communities that sprouted all over blogsville, my favorite one is Blog Catalog. It operates very similarly like My Blog Log but only better and more efficient in more ways. It has a faster traveling time and has no limits on the number of communities or friends you can make each day. My Blog Log, on the other hand, limits membership to one's community to 15 per day. Its operating time is more tedious and longer. I could blog hop very fast with Blog Catalog, and together with Entrecard, both give me tremendous surge in traffic.

The number of my friends in my community at Blog Catalog has reached 450 and still growing. I could not possibly visit all of them everyday so I just limit myself to visiting all my recent viewers up to the time of the last 24 hours or 1 day. Then I try to visit the others by batches as my time would allow me.

That is also the better feature of Blog Catalog over My Blog Log. In my profile section, Blog Catalog shows the recent viewers to my blog with the corresponding time since they last visited. I use 24 hours or 1 day as my cut off time to visit those who recently visited me. With this feature, I can keep track of my loyal viewers and I always reciprocate their visits. Those who visit all my 4 blogs are rewarded by 4 visits from me no matter how many their blogs are.

I am planning to drop all my other SEOs and friendship communities in favor of Blog Catalog and Entrecard. This way, I can simplify and maximize my blog hopping activities.

EntreCard

Everybody is agog about Entrecard. Everybody is striving hard to earn credits in order to advertise. Those sites who are popular and have very high visiting rates have prohibitive Entrecard advertising rates. Rates can go as high as 6,000 credits to as low as 8 credits for a 125 x 125 pixel ad on a blog site. It is very effective since blog hopping can be done by just a click of the mouse and you can blog hop to as many blogs as you want who carry an Entrecard widget. Others use Entrecard as their main vehicle to blog hop and can earn as much as 200 credits a day.

I use a combination of Blog Catalog and Entrecard to blog hop as they beautifully compliment each other. I advertise only to low rates blog sites since I have accumulated just more than 2,000 credits. I earn credits from the credits paid by advertisers to my sites and from the drops I make on other sites and the drops made by others to my site. When will this craze end? Ask me another question since I really do not know the answer. Right now, Entrecard is already fully overloaded and traffic from site to site has considerably slowed down. And there are numerous instances of outages. What will they think of next?
