Over at Shoemoney, you might have heard about EntreCard. EntreCard is kind of like a virtual way to drop your “business card” on other sites that carry the EntreCard javascript code.
I figured I’d give it a whirl, because I saw this as a way for free advertising. So I signed up and put the code on my site. I was a little confused going through the site at first, because I was looking for what I needed to do to build up my points.  The more points you have the more places you can advertise on. It didn’t take me too long to realize that to earn points you had to visit other sites that had signed up and “drop your card” on their site - and voila you get a point.
Handy thing is that this costs you nothing.
The business cards are 125×125 images. This doesn’t seem so bad, since most sites I’ve come across lately have this as a method of advertising as well. This also gets your site out there and on other sites that would probably cost a bit of money.
You get 1 day of advertising - and then they’re rotated through per day - all automatic. All we have to do is approve the ad to be put on the site. The approval system is easy and once you’ve kind of floated through the site, it’s not hard at all to get things going.
So far my only frustration is that some of the sites that are signed up do not have the javascript on their site. So when I want to stop by and drop my card and earn a few points - I can’t because there isn’t anything there. A bit of a time waster.  On the other hand this doesn’t happen … all that often. But it is a pain in the butt.
Other than that, it’s a free way to market your site and get it on sites that you might never have heard of or figured was way out of your price range for advertising.
So far I’ve got it on two sites and I’ve managed to find quite a few cool blogs that I would never have heard of before. Bonus for me

Thanks for giving entrecard a try! To address your frustration, we are implementing a feature this week that will make anyone invisible in the network who is not running the widget. So, everyone you see is guaranteed to have the widget running!
More on this coming soon…
