Does entrecard give you points for posting comments on sezwho enabled blogs? I dont get any even though i have linked the two accounts?

definitely we must all comment more…blogging is not just about posting articles, it is also about reading others blogs and commenting. That makes the whole exercise worthwhile for everyone.

I use my EntreCard credits to further award content/commentators that I like. There is a lot of bad behavior on the Internet and we should encourage the good. It always makes me smile when the credits for posts show up.

I really like this plug-in though I do agree it could be prettier…I hope it helps with the bounce rate and also causes people to be more likely to read your, cause driving your numbers with entrecard is nice, but really the goal is to get permanent readers and numbers that way.

I just installed it today. I am still learning how to use it and what is the benefit. Thanks for the post for the great summary in the lay-man term.

I set sez who up my blog just yesterday. It works well and it does seems to increase the number of comments left and the quality of them. Of course, just one day is hardly enough to have a complete picture, but so far so good. Thanks for the post.

@Laane: Bounce Rate is the percentage of single-page visits (i.e. visits in which the person left your site from the entrance page). Blogs with full posts on the front page, like this one, are bound to have fairly large bounce rates, but with Entrecard, the rate tends to become insanely high as a large number of people just stop and drop.

I signed up for it, but I haven’t really checked it out too much. Thanks for the informative post. Also, I’m so retarded.. I’ve never even looked at google analytics.

Well, I’m OK with the way Buzzfuse uses a rating system.
It’s for the post itself, and not the comments.

I think rating comments is not only a waste of time, it’s also not done.

My comments are usually short, to the point and that’s it.
They maight even contain a language mistake or two, because english is not my main language.

The person rating my comment probably doesn’t know that and rates my comment less because of that.

Makes that my comment less valuable?

Rating the post, that’s OK, because it’ll stop people writing nonsence posts and stop taking subjects from others.

Have a nice week!

I’m probably not really understanding what this is all about, I just don’t understand how this is going to help. It was hard enough to get people to drop a card on your site and now you want them to drop a card, make a comment and rate other comments? Seems like an awful lot of work. I haven’t set this up on my blog, so if you get a comment from me it means I am really interested in your blog and wrote a comment because I had something relevant to say.

Hi!

Can you explain what you mean by “bounce rate”?

Thanks!
