Here’s the EntreCard’s announcement:

Why are we banning quick drop pages? Our golden rule at Entrecard is to preserve the quality of our network. As stated in our Terms of Service, we respect the right to remove any account we feel is de-valuing the network. Collectively, everyone operating a quick drop page is devaluing the network by providing an incentive to drop on their quick loading widget-only page. Members are bookmarking 300 of these pages in an attempt to earn credits quickly and efficiently, without actually visiting the blogs in question. This itself constitutes illegal dropping. So not only are quick drop pages now illegal, but our drop-penalty gear may begin inflicting stiff credit penalties, starting July 1, on people dropping on quick drop pages.

Good job! Hope that we can get rid of those spam blogs and those that have nothing of value except for the widget.

I’m a real reader (a.k.a. a real blogger). I’ll still do the “drop” job.

1. Some of you have interesting blogs that update everyday. I’ll try to visit you everyday and “drop” you.
2. Many of you have blogs that update once a week (or even no update for more than a week). Don’t worry, I still visit and “drop” you.
3. From my “drops inbox”, I normally open up 14 EC blogs at a time. This will save me lot of waiting time as different blogs will have different loading speed. I’ll read your blog and “drop” you.

Big thanks to you, EntreCard. You’ve brought lot of traffics to SmoothAsia dot Com!

I’m not one of those self-claimed internet gurus. I just want to share something with you.

Like some of you, EntreCard brought most of my traffics. No doubt, it has quickly become one of the best widget that really works these days.

While everyone seems really “into” the EntreCard, I believe there few more ways to drive repeatable traffics to your sites - simple methods that incur zero costs. You shouldn’t forget these sites:

BlogCarnival.com is a community that creates online magazines. Each carnival is a collection of blogs and articles focused on a specific topic. You can submit your blog to multiple carnivals. If the carnival organizer likes what you submitted, they will publish your work on their website and will link back to your site.

Digg.com is a reader-driven, social-content website. Once you become a Digg.com member, you can submit content, read content submitted by other users and “digg” the content if you prefer. The more people digg you, the more popular your blog will become.

Squidoo.com is a collection of business insights where users can talk about specific topics that matter to them, but allows others to comment on the same topics. You can also make money if your readers decide to purchase anything because of your content.

StumbleUpon.com helps readers to discover and share great websites. Users download a StumpbleUpon toolbar. When the user finds a website they like and click the “Stumble!” button the toolbar delivers pages that match the personal preferences of the user. You can also recommend and rate any of your favorite websites.

myLot.com is very similar to Squidoo, but is not only focused on specific topics. Users can participate in online discussions or check the latest blogs. It provides news based on personal preference. You can also submit your blog to myLot.com and it will fetch the latest content from your site.

LinkedIn.com is an online network of millions of professionals. Each user creates a profile (similar to a resume) with professional accomplishments. LinkedIn uses your profile to match former colleagues, clients and partners. You can add your own connections by asking others to join. It is a free service and a great way to find connections.

BlogFlux.com is a directory of blogs. Ranking of the sites is done according to the number of unique visits each blog receives every week. You can register your blog on BlogFlux.com and categorize it to specific topics. If your content is great with good traffic, you will be ranked toward the top, which drives even more traffic.

Google Analytics is a great way to determine your top content, number of visitors, where are they are from and how long they stay. Google Analytics is user-friendly and easy to understand.

Mozilla has finally announced to release the final version of Firefox 3 on Tuesday, June 17, 2008. The next generation of Mozilla’s web browser has been in development for almost three years, and after countless alphas, betas, and release candidates, I anticipate something that is exceeding users’ expectation.

“After more than 34 months of active development, and with the contributions of thousands, we’re proud to announce that we’re ready. It is our expectation to ship Firefox 3 this upcoming Tuesday, June 17th. Put on your party hats and get ready to download Firefox 3 - the best web browser, period”, Mozilla said in a post on its Mozilla Developer Center blog.

Million users have already pledged to download Firefox 3 on Tuesday June 17 in an attempt to break the Guinness World Record for the largest number of downloads in 24 hours. You can help Mozilla meet its goal of breaking the Guinness World Record.

Are you one among those 1.2 million users?
