Entrecard increases your bounce rate, regardless of what Graham may try to do to circumvent it. When I was with EC, my bounce rate was 93%+++. Since I've quit EC, my bounce rate is down over 10% and still dropping. The problem is there are too many blogs that just game the system. Plus, that time you spend dropping is better spent writing IMO. Waynes last blog post..What the hell is a Blogger and what does the word Blogger mean?

Entrecard also has its advantages. I am willing to have my bounce rate suffer for a little if it results in more traffic referrals.

I know the feeling, but I found in my own personal experiance that after visiting the same site a month in a row I start to actually read their blog. It doesn't always guarantee that you will have readers for every post, but entrecard definitely is a great way to get traffic izzys last blog post..Droppers for March

I think all Entrecarders are facing this problem. Unless, Graham gives out the rules like we need to visit 2 page before able to drop, then we will get 0 % bounce rate which is impossible. At least we will be able to sell some credits back to EC soon. That is another plus point to look at. Good luck for your page rank dear.

As I mentioned to Dragon Blogger, I’ll be keeping my blog interesting and I always revisit my commentators blogs for a read

I guess it is inevitable that the bounce rate would be pretty high with EC, especially when we have a lot of speed droppers. However, as Dragon Blogger said, what I hope is to eventually get a steady stream of readers that are interested to read the content and hopefully it will balance out.

I did an old post about this, when you first join entrecard you will see your bounce rate climb, dragonblogger had a bounce rate as high as 93% at its worst, but that tapered off, and I still do 300 drops per day and my bounce rate is now between 2 and 3%. You will find that many of your quick droppers will stay to actually read if they like your blog, or you will find an audience to eventually balance out the quick droppers. Note: My other blogs have 80% bounce rates from entrecard, since that is generally what you can expect. Audience will come and stay if content is good though. Your blog has good content, so don't worry if bounce rate spikes for a few months. Dragon Bloggers last blog post..UP - Pixar’s New Movie

Thanks for commenting Sandy, I’ll certainly checking my stats over the next few weeks or so to see what visitors are doing, I know most are from EntreCard, but may be interaction from visitors would help a lot!

This is a very interesting problem and one I have wondered about too, being I am with Entrecard. I will keep track of what you think are your findings, I will be very interested to see the results. Sandys last blog post..What Network Marketing is NOT
