This blog is just barely four months old. I’ve never given this blog much attention, not until I’ve noticed the increasing number of visits it got per day. Today, I got too overwhelmed by the number of drops this blog got from Entrecard. I never fail to drop 300 cards daily. I do get return drops over 300. But today, the return drop is 507! It’s the first time for this blog’s history to have received that much number of drops. Breaking into the Top 20 Most Popular blogs at Entrecard is also unbelievable! It even surpassed my other blog’srankings. Don’t mistake me for bragging about this but I sure as hell got very ecstatic. Out of more than 15, 000 Entrecard members, my blog is slowly inching closer to the top. Though I am well aware that rankings for the most popular blogs is never static and keeps changing every minute, it’s something that I think this blog can never accomplish again. I’m all the more humbled by this blog’s progress.
One thing noticeable here is that I have only purchased one slot of advertisement which has been up and running at this site. I’ve purchased it for 1, 024 worth of credits. I didn’t think twice in purchasing the slot because that particular blog is always in the Top 10 most popular blogs.
I was faced with a huge challenge today in choosing the blogs I would drop my cards on out of the 507 blogs who made their drops for the day. It’s kind of hard because I can drop cards to only 300 blogs. I need to make a sound judgment on which blogs would likely return my drop again. Let’s face it. There are some Entrecarders who aren’t serious in dropping cards. They may have come across your blog by chance and tried to drop and that’s it. They never come back. I’m hoping I have indeed made a sound judgment in choosing the blogs I’ve dropped on as I’ve just finished dropping cards to 300 of them.
The blog who purchased a slot for my site today got 273 drops! I hope the blog owner is happy with the turn out of her ad purchase in my blog.
All these could not have been possible without my regular droppers and advertisers. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
- I have made a run down of the things I’ve learned today. These are as follows:Never hesitate to purchase big amount of credits for advertisement.
- Be wise in choosing the blog you want to purchase your slot for advertisement.
- Purchase slots from the campaign tab, go to the MOST POPULAR blogs at Entrecard, then choose ALL CATEGORIES and select NO maximum amount.
If you have a better way of purchasing your own slots for advertisements that gave you big numbers of drops, feel free to share it in my comment section.

Lainy,
Yeah, I agree. High-traffic sites usually yield more returns when you place ads on them that is why I’m buying an ad spot on your site.

Hi Lainy. Welcome to Top 20 club. Hehe.. I think they should create one, since most of them are from the same group of blogs.
I’m glad you received good drops from me. Very happy to hear it. Hope you can advertise on me again too.

@ TWERLYN:
Thanks Lermz, pero I wonder when you’ve purchased the slot? Coz when I checked, your blog hasn’t purchased one that is still up for showing. I’ve never rejected any puchase of slot, just try to see the percentage of rejection kay 0 pa hehe. Sa una na-show nato imong ad. Basin mao to imong gina-mean, hehe!
@ RITCHIELA:
Thanks Ritch for that nice comment. Thanks for the drops, too. I always return your drops so it’s not a wasted effort.
@ JESSIE:
Kuya, nakaligtaan mo atang bumili ng slot for my site, hehe!
@ ATNIZ:
Thanks for approving my ad purchase, Dear. It wouldn’t have been possible of you’ve rejected it, hehe. Lucky me you didn’t, LOL! Sure, I will advertise again on your sites as long as I can well afford it.
AS for the TOP 20 Club, I got lucky i’ve reached that close but it keeps changing from time to time. Good for you, you’re always at the top. Keep it up!
@ IS:
Thanks for the visit and for taking time to write your comment. Hope to see you again soon!
@ SHAXX:
It’s possible if you become wise in the purchase of ad spot. In time, you’ll have that much number of drops, too. Good luck!

@ TWERLYN:
OO, Lermz, na-show to sya that time, cheap pa ang worth of credir sa blog ko ato, 128 palang ata. Purchase ka sa sunod ha?
[Reply]
That’s very good! Very interesting observations. I have a tough time keeping up with the stats, but I try to drop on everyone who drops on me. I am not always successful, but I do try.
I am gonna take your advice about the next ad I purchase. Thanks.
[Reply]
@ PETULA WRIGHT:
I had a tough time too in keeping the stats until the day I decided to purchase ad slots from the most popular blogs. They are a little expensive but it’s all worth it.
[Reply]
I don’t know how you manage to drop 300 cards a day. I am struggling just to drop 100 a day. I make a point of reading and commenting on most posts and this slows down the process considerably.
[Reply]
Congratulations!!! That is why i never failed to drop you when i can because i know you will return and visit me
Thanks!
[Reply]
@ RENEE:
I have 3 blogs so I drop a total of 900 cards daily. I used to comment to at least 10 blogs per day but doing paid reviews took its toll on me. I still manage to drop 300 cards/ day though. And I am doing it only part time coz I work for a living on a 8-5 basis.
@ SHIELA:
Thanks Sis! It’s not a wasted effort…

@ MAGGIE:
Thanks, Sis!
Yes, sis! Lainy a.k.a Scotty’s Princess, hehe. But friends call me by my real name though. Lainy is a name given to me by my Prince, wink!
[Reply]
Of course I was very happy about that result. It’s amazing! Actually I rarely buy ads for more than 256EC, but with you it was really worth it
Thank you.
[Reply]
You are most welcome. I’m just glad you received good drops from me. I hope you can purchase again sometime soon too.
[Reply]
wow, congrats! i wish all of us could receive huge return drops like that!
i just found out that scotty’s princess and lainy is one and the sama pala, hehe.
[Reply]
WOW.
Congrats!
I am very happy for your success. It doesn’t come easy. At least you must have worked very hard to earn it. Advertising on high profile blogs is a great courageous move because you put much credits at risks, but I am happy you are proving to your readers that it is no risk at all. If it works for you, certainly it can work for all of us.
On my part, I am trying my possible best but my Internet connection is not working for my good. It is very slow and I can hardly get to drop 100 at times. It is only for about 5 days that I have successfully got to 300. As soon as I get a better connection, I guess there will be no limiting factors standing on my way.
Once more, cheers!
[Reply]
Thanks a bunch, Uncle CHe! My effort of dropping the maximum 300 cards per day paid off. It’s hard to maintain that huge stats though. But it’s Ok, at least I was able to reap the fruit of my labor at one time in this blog’s history, hehe!
Buying huge amount of credit may not work at all times to our advantage, might be that I just got lucky, hehe.
Ohh, sorry to hear about your connection, Uncle Che. I hope you do get a better and faster one soon.
