You Drop, I Follow Experiment
My personal blog and this blog is practicing the “You Drop, I Follow” rule for entrecard dropping. As I’ve blog hopping last night, I’ve seen many blogs practicing the same rule. Dropping entrecard is not that easy, it takes time. Using Firefox made it easier than using IE7. Anyway, based on my observation, I’ve dropped 100 cards and did received a return drop of 15% or almost 15 drops to this blog. Its not worth it since I’m recently doing it here (this blog). Actually, my personal blog is receiving more return drops since I’ve started practicing it.
How to know them? They have the ”You Drop, I Follow” button below their entrecard widget. Although I don’t have that button, I’ve named my widget as “You Drop, I Follow”.
I’ll be posting the list of blogs using the same rule soon. I browse Pinoy EC list, and found out that there are not more than 5 including this blog and my personal blog are using the rule from over 150+ Filipino Entrecard users. I guess, filipino are still not aware or maybe they are busy preparing for the Valentine’s Day. hehehe…

I started my U DROP I FOLLOW button awhile ago and it has had a lot of users. I am looking for some nice way of linking everyone. Maybe all members who use it get a nice link on the page and it can be used for all U DROP I FOLLOW users.

I have seen it being used on many blogs.
Yeah, that would be great. Thanks for the comment. Link building will benefit all of us, I’m willing to participate. We should have a rule on that.
I’m brand new to entercards…how is using Firefox easier…is there a plugin or something? I think the You Drop, I Follow idea is a good one…
Well I am now linking everyone who is using the button with a link going to the page. Maybe we could get a linkback system going for all members.
Its a bit of a pain going through the sites but fingers crossed it pays off and I/we get more drops.
@Lee,
Does it mean if I want to to be linked, I should use the button? I’m sure you already have the list of who uses the button. FYI, I’ve also seen some blogs like me that they just made their own button or simply put the words “You Drop, I Follow” near their widget.
@Jenny,
I’m using IE always but when I want to blog hop, I make it a point to use Firefox. Some entrecard widgets is “invisible” when using IE, that depends on the template they’re using. And one more thing, multi-dropping is more convenient using Firefox. Thanks for the comment.
I haven’t added the button but I do drop on my droppers
About 20% of my total traffic comes from entrecard in a given day. Wondering if it would increase if I added the words? Might have to try that….
No need to add the button, as long as “you drop and follow”, you will see the result in the long run.
In fact, I’m just preparing my article indicating the links of those who are doing the principle. a link love.
