Hold on a moment, I'm just gonna pinch myself, cos I did wonder if I'd imagined it..... nope, I'm definitely awake! I checked that it shows up in Firefox and IE on laptop and PC (hey, I wanted to be certain)! :roll: Like yourself, I've had a break from mainstream Entrecard, as my energies were needed elsewhere. I'm now using the network again, but won't be spending more than an hour a day there. I'd prefer to use my time building long-term traffic strategies, rather than dropping cards endlessly, only to lose most of the additional traffic the moment you stop the drop! However, I do think Entrecard is brilliant for the new site, and the networking possibilities can also be very helpful and productive -- Stumbles, Favs, and even comments. ;-) Hey Fragileheart,

It's weird... I'm not picking up your PR on your front page - but as I'm on the static page for this post your PR has actually gone up to 3 since your most recent post! Bravo! My site's PR is only 3 at the moment and I don't even know how that's gotten there. Anyway, on to the topic at hand: I recently went on a little hiatus and upon returning I have been reluctant to jump right back into the entrecard obsession (as it was) because it was just too much for me. So I've been even more frugal on which sites I drop cards on and more so which sites I comment on... slow loading pages definitely don't get my time, and neither do blogs that update once every other month... great topic! :D Hey Layne!

As for how I knew when my site attained a Google Page Rank, I have the Google Toolbar installed on my browser (go to google.com and look for the toolbar link), so am always aware of the page rank of any site I visit. The same goes for the <a href="http://www.alexa.com/site/download" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Alexa Toolbar</a>, which tells you the traffic rank of any site you visit. Best of luck for the future. ;-) Hey Bonnie,

I have puzzled over the same question many times. I see blogs actively participating in the Entrecard program that have not done anything new in months. If going to all the trouble of dropping cards and stuff, why not favor your followers with something fresh and current? After all, blogging is about having something to say, no? Congrats on your Google rank. I'm curious to know how you found out - how do you get that info? Would be a good post for the newbiesl like me. I'm a worker-bee type that just works on projects with my head down, never looking around to see if anyone notices or cares. Not a good strategy but I'm not sure how to do better. Have a great day!

You have a wonderful opportunity to build something for the future, to secure a lasting financial security AND get an education, while enjoying your youth. Why not set up some sales pages for digital products, autoresponders will take care of delivery, and then you can be earning an income even when you don't have the time available to blog to keep the momentum going. Make the most of it, and good luck with your exams, too. :grin: Hi Personal Finance Blogger,
