This service is truly extraordinary! I cannot even put in words the imagination that these guys have, I mean their slogan is “Business Card 2.0″. I don’t know whether it refers to the power of Web 2.0 or the business card reinvented, but either way I’m stunned. Entrecard is a must for anyone trying to boast both awareness and traffic. Let’s go further into detail.

What is Entrecard?

Entrecard is a service that allows you to advertise on other peoples websites, but instead of using cash, you use EC which is the currency over at Entrecard. Once you register, you are given code to install on your website. What this does is installs a little widget which displays others ads. In order to put an ad on my website, you would need a certain amount of EC. There are a two ways to get these EC points. Whenever someone drops a card on my widget I get a point, and whenever I drop a card on someone else’s widget I get point. Because of this, everyone wins!

For all of you bloggers out there, you will be happy to find out the fully redesigned WordPress 2.5 is almost here. We’ll have a full review with images and explanations when it comes out, but let’s just bask in the glory of this thing for now. Here are just some of the new features:

“…customizable dashboard, multi-file upload, built-in galleries, one-click plugin upgrades, tag management, built-in Gravatars, full text feeds, faster load times…”

It turns out that this has been in the works for the last few months, and they have been working with Happy Cog to get there.

There are many ways to get traffic these days. Social media sites, paid advertising, self promotion, etc. What many people don’t realize though, is that a large amount of this traffic is useless. This following will explain why:

1. Someone sees your link somewhere.

2. They click it.

3. They look at your site for a few seconds.

4. They leave and continue on with their lives.

Now there are many ways to monitor and build your conversation rate. A conversion rate is of course the percentage of people, who after visiting your site become loyal in any shape or form. Whether they subscribe, visit daily, or promote your site; conversion is what makes a site popular.

Keeping the Viewer

Keep in mind that the average internet user doesn’t have a lot of tolerance. If they find anything wrong with your site, the chances are that they’ll leave. Here are some things that really bug a viewer, and that you should get rid of from your site:

As some of you may know, March 14th (3/14) is internationally recognized Pi Day. π is the sixteenth letter in the Greek alphabet, but the reason most of us know it is because of it’s incredible mathematical significance. I don’t really want to inform you of the history of π as a mathematical constant, but ANCIENT mathematicians discovered that there is always a relationship between the diameter of a circle and its circumference, and it always comes out to be around 3. Today, we know pi to more than 1 trillion decimal places, and calculations are still going on every day using supercomputers, as are attempts to discover a more complex formula.Anyways, tomorrow is 3/14, the first 3, most commonly recognized digits of π. Buy yourself a pie, bring it into school, tell your friends, celebrate pi day however you want! A simple google search will provide you with all the “pi day” resources you could ever want!

P.S…if you want to be super, super precise, celebrate it at 1:59:27, but that’s optional. Just acknowledge Pi Day!!

If you’re anything like me and spend a lot of time on the internet, you probably know by now that ijji.com is one of the top few games sites out there. It’s even the 557′th most visited site on the web, according to Alexa Traffic Ratings, and for a great reason.

If you’re into online multiplayer games, ijji has an INCREDIBLE selection, and best of all, they’re all free! You create a free account with ijji, which literally takes 30 seconds, and all the games become available to you for nothing but a quick, free download.

Hulu, just like YouTube, is a site that streams videos. It has one major difference though, and that is the fact that it hosts premium content, and is 100% legal. What I mean by premium content, is real full length episodes of TV shows. No joke folks, this is for real!

How do they do it?

It’s common sense that a service can’t just get out there, and legally offer free content, especially television shows. What they do is put a 10 second ad at the beginning and then about every 8 minutes (approximate, but it is actually dependent on the video length) they play a new ad. These ads are all videos, and are in the flash player itself. As for the layout, it is ad free apart from a little ad in the top right corner that shows the last sponsor that the player showed.

Deviating from the recent trend of posts all related to making money through domain names and whatnot, I have decided to write a a review on iPod Games. More specifically, a single iPod Game by the name of “Phase.” The majority of people have probably never heard of this game, and it’s quite a shame. Phase is very similar to Guitar Hero (Harmonix developed it, the same company that was active in developing GH and Rock Band) - it relies on split-second timing and beat/sound recognition.

This post is for the stay at home moms, teenagers, and college students trying to pay of their debt. I’m only kidding, it’s actually for anyone out there trying to make money online. I’m not talking about millions, but an extra little bit of income on the side to help you pay off those bills.

Running A Blog

Plain and simple, this costs money… What you ask? Hosting can cost up ten dollars a month while a domain will run you an about extra eight each year.

I spend a lot of time surfing the web and I have realized that many people use free services such as blogger.com and wordpress.com to share their thoughts on certain aspects of life.

I would just like to let our readers know that I took some action after Matthew wrote Should I Buy Typo Domains. The action I took was to actually buy one, wouldn’t I be a hypocrite if I didn’t? Now I spent about an hour looking for good ones. I obviously started with Google, went down to Facebook, over to Myspace, past Digg, through JohnChow, and eventually landed on ShoeMoney. I was being creative here, first thinking about whether users would be experimenting with his domain and possibly typing in something like ShoeCash instead of ShoeMoney (yes, ShoeCash is available if you want it). But then I went back to the basics, and when I do this I always delete the last letter. Why, you ask? Because that is the most common mistake made by people typing into their browsers. Therefore, I landed on the domain ShoeMone.com which I just bought today. Now the reason why I bought this domain was because ShoeMoney.com is actually a well visited site with over 17,000 RSS subscribers, pretty impressive I know. I don’t exactly expect millions of people to be forwarded to my site right away, but I expect to get a few here and there over time. Hopefully, I will be able to eventually sell this to some typosquatting buyer for around $200-$500, depending on its success. The key to being successful here is patience. This decision that I made right on the spot might have been a stupid, but the that I only spent $8.41 and I did for a great reason.

Side Notes

ShoeMone.com is currently being used a redirector to this blog. If anyone is interested in buying this domain, I will at the moment let it go very cheaply, due to the fact that I have no idea as to how effective it will be.
