What the Blog?

perez I made the mistake today, of trying to get 300 drops through Entrecard. Its something I’ve done before, manually going through the pages by hand. Today, I thought I’d give it a go via the entrecard bar I wrote about last week (or was it this week… I don’t know any more!). I hit all in my inbox (in the morning), then I started on the most popular ones on EC, then for some reason, I can only say came about from food poisoning, I decided to hit the newest blogs on EC. If you can call them blogs.

No, Perez wasn’t one of them, but I needed a “Worst blog ever” cap and thats what came up when I googled for it… go figure. However, any of the ones I came across today under the newest tag on EC could beat it hands down.

Some played music so loud, I screamed (of course, I had my ear phones in). I though music was soooo myspace and frowned upon by regular bloggers…. Some had no content and were obviously spam blogs (splogs) while others were in some cryptic language that probably only make sense to its owner. I even came across a blog that stated that for those in the asian part of the world, tomorrow was going to be 08.08.08, as if the rest of the world was skipping tomorrow…. I only came across one or two that were truly unique and worth the visit.

It amazes me the crap people are passing off as blogs today. Saddens me a little too. Oh well, I guess I should change my ECbar setting back to most expensive and hit those instead….. after all, you get what you pay for…

What I have done to get to, or close to 300, in a short period is blog hop…or chain-blogging, I guess? I click the ads on the EC card and keep going that way until I’ve hit one I already dropped on….it goes much faster than just going through most popular, etc.

I agree, I have seen some ODD “blogs.”

Thanks for visiting my blog yesterday. I knew I was right not to include music! I’ve been looking at blogs today and there are some strange ones indeed. Not to mention the ones take a long time to load. Do you like the EC Toolbar? I just eliminated a bunch of spyware and I don’t want any more.

@Tyson: So far its pretty cool. I managed to drop 300 yesterday and today using it…
I’ve had some issues with FF when using the tool bar, but we’ll see if those continue.

Thanks for the information. I’m seeing that some sites don’t have a EC widget visible. For example, I just visited http://mariuca.blogspot.com. I checked the whole site and couldn’t find the widget. Is that common?

@Tyson: She has it. Its on the right sidebar under a section called blog of the day. Its one of the wide ones….

There are some sites out there that put it all the way at the bottom. Which to me is crap. I’m not going to advertise on your site (for free or pay) if you put the ad at the bottom where fewer people are likely to see it…
