		<description>I have an entecard account but to be honest, it is alot of time.  I think it is better served commenting on other people&#039;s sites and forums as well as writing good content then trying to get artifical traffic.

Shane, that was really funny.  Come visit me on my site.  I can use a hug once and awhile.  Sometime with all this digging, stumbling, and other means I feel like a hampster on a wheel.  Does anyone else feel the same???</description>

		<description>Well-written! I agree with you 100%. Yet I found you via EntreCard... hehe. Most of the users just drop and leave. I&#039;m guilty of that myself sometimes, but I do try to check out at least a few headlines and see what catches my eye.

I too have noticed the huge amount of time you can lose just dropping cards. It can be a bit addicting, but it&#039;s not worth artificially inflating your traffic numbers. There&#039;s just too much work involved that way!</description>

		<description>Can&#039;t agree more. I&#039;ve been a victim when I left town for a while. My daily advert rate dropped from 51 to 18 within five days. Of course this occurrence has left me wondering if it&#039;s worth the time spent on dropping.  

But as &quot;A&quot; says, you can stumble on some of the best blogs through Entrecard dropping. In fact I have identified some true &quot;friends&quot; with whom we are starting a dropping club. To join, new members are required to agree to spend quality time on other members&#039; sites. If interested, you can leave a comment on the safariwagon site. See you there.</description>

		<description>You&#039;re entirely right, the whole thing is false.  

Having said that though, I&#039;ve never dropped anything like even half the maximum cards so I can&#039;t complain about effort.  Yet I&#039;ve come across some interesting blogs and &quot;met&quot; people I&#039;ll continue to visit, so it hasn&#039;t been a complete waste. And there are two who visit me on a semi-regular basis :)</description>

		<description>I have a lot of people on Entrecard in which I consider as &quot;friends&quot;. Not true friends, but people (by their entrecard profile logo unfortunately) that are familiar enough to be considered as friends.</description>

		<description>I couldn&#039;t agree more. Went off for a weekend and I was way off the charts. But then again, EntreCard promises traffic but not the quality of it. However, I do notice that commenting on others&#039; sites (consistently) helps quite abit. Unfortunately, that takes up time as well... which I cannot very well afford. 

Cheer up mate!</description>
