Recently Mr JohnChow has post an article on how to get a free ad on his blog. This is really an interesting article for all of us, including me as a beginner blogger.

So, How to advertise for Free ?

As you know, I like Free things. No exceptional for my blog’s advertisement at my current practice. The EntreCard is the solution for all of us! EntreCard is using the concept of exchanging business card on the Internet. In this case, the business cards are 125×125 buttons.

Actually, this is not only for small blogger like me, but it was used by many probloggers such as Darren, JohnChow, and many more. So if you want to advertise your blog in those probloggers’ blog for Free, you better signup EntreCard now!

How to use EntreCard?

Once you signup EntreCard, you need to install the EntreCard widget on your blog. Why must install EntreCard widget? The widget allows other Entrecard users to drop their card and you get one credit for every card dropped. To earn more credits, you need to drop your card to other blog that using EnterCard widget. When other bloggers buying an Entrecard advertising spot from you, you also got credit.

The EntreCard control panel may looks a bit complicated, but it is quite easy to use after you get use to it. Basically, the EntreCard control panel divide into 2 parts. On your left hand, it is your EntreCard information and statistics. Where by on your right hand side, it shows 4 column: Advertisers, Your Ads, On your widget and Inbox.

In “Advertisers” column, you will need to aprrove those advertisers that allow to put ads in your EntreCard widget. After your approval, it goes to “On your widget“. All advertisements queue in sequence and wait for their ads to show on your blog. After you earn some credits, search for publishers in Campaign and click on the “Advertise” button under the blog that you affort to pay. “Inbox” column contain all cards that others dropped to you.

As for AhTim.com, you can find me in Technology category. If you want to advertise in my EntreCard widget for free, you need to pay off 10 credits per day at this moment ( and I believe the price is going up). Furthermore, you will have to wait at least 10 days to see your ads show in AhTim.com because lots of bloggers lining up for an ads spot here If you want to show ads in my blog fast, I would suggest you to get in my Top Spot quickly, since there are 2 more available seats. Just $5 bucks per month!

My two cents

After install EntreCard widget for 1 day, I’ve earned more than 50 credits. While I’m looking to buy an ad spot, I noticed that Graham Langdon, the creator of Million Dollar Wiki and EntreCard is also using EntreCard widget on his blog. So I’ve bought an ad on his blog for a day at 31 credits but have to wait at least 6 days. Hopefull this ad could bring some traffics and new readers to my blog

In my opinion, higher credits doesn’t mean will bring benefits to you. Before you buy a free ad, check their blog ranking, PR and most important thing is it in your same niche! Have Fun!
