My first 300 EC credits

 

Ok this was the first time I hit 300 credits in a day for Entrecard.

At first I used the list from powerdropping.com but found that the same list in a easier tabular format at AndrewOoi.com. However, I found that I only got 285 EC credits after I finished dropping on all 300 sites. I must have missed out a few. I went to the dashboard and finished off the other 15 by going to the top cards there and just surfed from those cards onwards till I hit this message:-

Took me 30 minutes while using Opera as my browser. I felt that Opera is faster and less memory intensive compared to FireFox. Also, I tried opening 50 tabs with FireFox and it became painfully slow. Opera however opened 50 tabs with no problem.

It’s very cheap to advertise on my blog. Hopefully by next week the credits to advertise here will go up and I can earn EC credits faster.

Brand new to Entrecard

image Ok I must admit I have completely dropped of the blogosphere these couple of weeks. Now I am back and there’s so much to catch up on. I’ve just joined Entrecard and many people say I’m too late to the boat. But I don’t believe that newcomers cannot benefit from Entrecard too.

That’s my hastily created Entrecard on the left. Will replace it something more presentable if I get the time.

Tweaking Page Title and Permalinks for SEO

SEO Friendly Permalinks

After all, it’s a small matter of editing and swapping two words in the header.php file.

Furniture for a new blog

It’s always fun to accessorise and new widgets and tools for the new blog. Sort of like getting new furniture for the new house.

Here’s the new “furnitures”:-

Google Analytics The best way to monitor traffic. You can’t get a better traffic analysing tool that is more comprehensive. It’s FREE to boot.
Sitemeter Also to track traffic but open public to see what sort of traffic this blog is getting.
MyBlogLog Fantastic tool for social networking. I can tell roughly at a glance if new people are reading my posts.
Problogger Theme This is Tim Yang’s Problogger Clean theme optimised for Adsense. It’s a little dated now and doesn’t support widgets. Still, from past experience it’s one of my best performing Adsense theme for Wordpress. I’ll probably change if I can find a better theme.

Of course there’s more cool stuff to be installed. That’s for another post ..
