Using The Control Key - A Tip Passed On

On every computer keyboard there are so many keys that we don’t use. They must be there for a reason Kamila thinks. Well one key that has come in very useful recently for Kamila is the 'Control (Ctrl) key. Ever since she started blogging about a year ago she hardly ever used it and didn’t really know what it did. Well she uses it now for her Entrecard and Adgitize drops.

Kamila wasn’t quite sure where she picked up the tip as she reads so many blogs on a day-to-day basis. Well last week she found a great tip. It was to hold the Control key down whilst clicking on an Entrecard or Adgitize widget and the blog will come up on a new tab. Now Kamila can open multiple blogs rather than individually as she did before. What a find!

So, if you’re not doing this already try it, it saves lots of time!

“Enjoy the tip passed on,” says Kamila.

Above The Fold For Entrecard? - Kamila Thinks

Kamila has only just discovered what above the fold means. It is the view of a site you get on the initial view of the site, i.e. before any scrolling down is done. Above the fold seems to be a requirement to many Entrecard members in fact Kamila has found out that many lists have been made up of Entrecard sites that only have the EC widget above the fold.

This is a bit of a giveaway that those who just drop on above the fold positioned widgets are the drop and run brigade. With this is mind Kamila is no seriously thinking whether it is worth putting her EC widget below the fold to avoid the bounce factor.

The way Kamila drops is based on those who have dropped on her, she has not list other than from the Entrecard menu that show which bloggers have dropped on her. She feels that just getting a list for speed and convenience isn’t in the spirit of Entrecard so won’t entertain this, even is hundred of others do.

The thinking cap in on Kamila again with this discovery, but she won’t do anything hasty.

“Have a good day!” says Kamila

Entrecard Drop and Linger Idea

Kamila is now regularly dropping on 50 Entrecard members a day. For most people and camels this should take about 20-30 minutes, but for Kamila is takes her nearly an hour, as she gets distracted from the task of dropping into the task of reading interesting posts.

This of course is a benefit for both camel and Entrecard members who Kamila call on. From Kamila’s point of view she is learning man y things as she travels through wave after wave of post, many about how to blog successfully. On the other side, each read she makes when Google will not see these particular drops as ‘bounce’ hits.

Perhaps it might be a good idea to start up a reciprocal group where the droppers purposely hang around on dropping to get the ‘full’ credit of a genuine visit. Kamila knows there must be a market out there for such a service from what she reads.

If there is any interest from anyone, Kamila would like to know and she’ll put them of the list of daily drops ensuring that when she does drop, she’ll linger. Of course she’d like any party to do the same – It is a trusting camel that asks.

“Enjoy your Sunday” says Kamila.

Entrecard - Kamila Now Looking for Drop Swap Sites

Kamila has been with Entrecard for around six months now and a lot of water has passed under the bridge over that time. Kamila has here own views of this debatable community service that Entrecard offer.

Kamila feels that she owes Entrecard something despite the leaning towards a money-geared system that compromises the community. She has made many friends through Entrecard, in fact nearly all here friends are or used to be Entrecard users. The idea that she will continue to make new friends with the existing community there and make and little bit of money with advertisers appeals to Kamila - The best of both worlds as she says. After all her objective is to make a bit of money to help pay her way with her new Bulgarian life

So right now, Kamila will continue with Entrecard and may even give a little dropping in the process, something that she hasn't done for ages, but it will be selective and only done to friends and those who will drop back to here. What she won't do though it spend hours a day dropping to every Tom, Dick and Harry especially now the growing season is in full swing in Bulgaria.

Anyone who wants to swap daily drops with Kamila just give her your link details and she'll do the business without fail.
