It looks like our dear old friend Graham at Entrecard is listing his site for sale. Now Entrecard and the community that goes with it can be yours, well that is if you mesh well with Graham’s vision. The site is listed here on Sitepoint.

If you are in the market for an online advertising company that serves over 80 million impressions to its ads monthly, here you go. Currently the site is generating $2,000 monthly from the sales of ads on the site itself, not across the network. I don’t know how it is possible to only make $2,000 per month while severing 80,000,000+ impressions, but it is true. I am sure the next person in line with some deeper development pockets could tap into more than 80 million ad impressions across more than 20,000 blogs for a much bigger return.

There is a huge potential just waiting to get picked up by the right hands. Now that’s a marketing idea, just buy your own blog ad network.

Over the last month give or take I have been running a test for this blog to determine what kind of traffic and visitors I would receive if I put the least amount of effort into running my blog.

I did 11 posts over the past 30 days, just about averaging 1 post every 3 days for the non-math majors. Along with minimal posts, I quit buying Entrecard ads or promoting in any other way. I noticed a little down tick in traffic and comments as fewer posts are appearing but has been pretty consistent since, with about 330 unique visits per day and 600ish page views.

If you notice that little up tick towards the end of the chart, that was a result of my last post with the help of a Wordpress plugin called Auto Social Poster (not an affiliate link). What you can do is have you post submitted to various different bookmarking sites at the time of posting. The plugin isn’t free, but I would highly recommend it if you are running a Wordpress Blog.

I found that instead of posting and promoting, I can focus more on posting and know that promotion is being done. I will now run another experiment here to determine whether posting daily versus every three days with the aid of ASP will result in more traffic. I will continue to not buy any ads on Entrecard in order to preserve the experiment. Instead, I will be giving away all of the credits I accumulate to this month’s the top commenter (horse race can be viewed to the right the side bar —-> ).

On one more note, I have begun to use a mailing list. The purpose of the list is to provide only marketing ideas and marketing strategies to subscribers. I will not spam you or try to sell you anything. It is simply for the people serious in receiving free marketing ideas and using them anyway you see fit. To subscribe, fill in your email to the right sidebar and hit submit.

These are coupon code worth Entrecard credits, each code is between the value of 1 and 2,000. Have fun, and good luck. Applied in dashboard on Entrecard.com

Update: I believe all of the codes have been applied, thanks for playing and stopping by.

Thanks to everyone who join the RSS feed contest that I ran the last two weeks. I would label it a success and am now trying to hunt people down to give them their prizes. So far I have only given away two Beer Stocks. I included a video of the picking of the winners with Random.org and my excel spreadsheet of email addresses. Too bad the first bit of the video is a little choppy. I probably needed to restart my computer before recording, which I will do for the next time. If you see your name and email address as one of the winners of the contest and failed to get my email, check your spam. Or you could send me an email claiming your prize with the address you subscribed with. Here is the video.

That is right, I am doing another contest until the end of the month. I am sure there is something for everyone. Just to clarify, all new and current RSS subscribers are eligible. If you are receiving this by RSS to your email, here is the link for the video. On a separate note, I really need to get a better microphone for these videos. I am using the stock one on the webcam and it picks up a lot of white noise. I even tried to put a noise filter over it without any success. Anyone know of any noise canceling software like the BOSE headphones?
