Creating traffic from Entrecard

I’ve been using Entrecard for one of my blogs and I can say it truly works. It is what I Call a medium promotion channel, but it is one of those promotion channels that can get you into a big channel quicker than other small channels.

In their front page Entrecard describes the site as this:
"Entrecard is a free blogging network that truly brings visitors to your blog. When you join Entrecard, you can earn credits which allow you to display an ad of your blog on other blog sites within our Network"

The way Entrecard works is simple, when you join Entrecard you have to put a widget in your blog that displays ads from other Bloggers that also are Entrecard members, to display an Ad of your blog in others widget you have to earn Entrecard Credits and use these credits to place an ad on other Entrecards members widget.

The more popular a blog is the more expensive it is. The ways you can earn Entrecard credits are: by visiting other blogs, every time you update your blog or when you display an Ad in your widget. Another way to get Entrecard Credits is buying them.

Once you have enough Entrecard Credits you can use them to advertise in other blogger´s Entrecard Widget and get traffic from these Blogs. Its as simple as that.

What does Bounce Rate mean in Google Analitycs?

If you use Google Analytics it is for sure that a percentage of the Bounces your site has are shown on the Panel page. That percentage is the Bounce Rate.


I always wondered what was the meaning of the Bounce Rate and what was the utility of that rate, so I started searching in the web to see what the meaning of Bounce Rate was and I found this definition:
"Bounce rate is a term used in web site traffic analysis. It essentially represents the percentage of initial visitors to a site who "bounce" away to a different site, rather than continue on to other pages within the same site."

But what is it for? The Bounce Rate for a web site is the number of web site visitors who visit only a single page of a web site per session divided by the total number of web site visits. So it is useful to see if your visitors find your site interesting. Also Bounce rates can be used to help determine the effectiveness or performance of an entry page.
An entry page with a low bounce rate means that the page effectively causes visitors to view more pages and continue on deeper into the web site.



I also found this video of Google.com analytics specialist Avinash Kaushik that explains the Bounce Rate:
