To my surprise the second day of the experiment went better than the first. The biggest difference is that on the second day I spend no credits advertising the site. Referrals from Stumbleupon and Google search engines were both up. These combined netted over 712 visitors on day two. This experiment has brought in a total of:

  • 1404 visits
  • 2607 pageviews
  • 3:06 average time on the site

Conclusion: I was not sure exactly how day two would go seeing that I did nothing more to promote the site. I think this changes the numbers even more from the last post in regard to the value entrecredits. Using entrecredits as a bartering tool for such things as having people stumble, digg or comment on your blog has proved to be a lot more valuable than spending the same amount of credits on advertising your advert.

Note to self: Before ruling out the value of advertising make sure to advertise on a blog with over 1,000 RSS  subscribers and compare.

Question: What successes have you had with people stumbling and digging your articles?
