Recently I have been promoting the idea of using Entrecard as a way to get a great deal of traffic to your blog. Entrecard has just made things even better by allowing people to list and advertise and earn credits from more than just one blog. But this post isn’t even about these great improvements to Entrecard. Rather, it’s about a great website called Free 125 Cards at http://www.free125cards.com.

Entrecard and many other blog related sites like your ad to be 125×125 pixels. Until now you had to pay someone to design your Entrecard banner or go with a very simple and unimpressive background provided by the site. The reason that Free 125 Cards is so great is that you can create 125×125 pixel cards for social media sites such as Entrecard. Other websites are now accepting this 125 x 125 pixel format such as those being used by Project Wonderful.

It’s very simple to use Free 125 Cards. You simply go to their gallery and pick out the background that you would like to use and then after you have chosen the background you click on a button that takes you to a page to personalize the text. You have your choice of several fonts and sizes of text and you can enter each line of text individually and place it where you want it on the background. I must say that I am very impressed with this tool.

Diyana Alcheva in her blog at www.networkmarketingsmart.com said that Twitter can be categorized as a social networking site, a content sharing site and even a bookmarking site in a way.

She claims that it is a social networking site because it allows you to network and communicate with other people. You can stay in touch with friends by inviting them to follow you. It’s a way for you to stay in touch with some of your busy friends or get to know better some of the people in the social marketing world.

Because Twitter has been called a micro-blogging site it can also be characterized as a content sharing site. Diyana says that “When you provide powerful and valuable information you become recognized as an expert in the field. What does this mean for your network marketing business?”

Twitter can also be called a social bookmarking site because of the following reason:

Many users who are also called “Twitters” would often refer to a website in their “tweets” they just came across that they found valuable.

Diyana goes on to relate how you can integrate Twitter with Facebook and also use Twitter as an Internet broadcasting mechanism.

What you may ask is Entrecard? Entrecard is a free advertising system which people like you and me use to advertise on other blogs .

The ad is in the form of a graphical banner, 125×125. With your banner on different sites and people clicking that banner to visit your site , you can attract some decent traffic for your site for free.

So, how does it work? Whenever an Entrecard member visits your site and clicks on the drop button on the Entrecard widget present on your site , you earn 1 credit . When you click on the drop button of someone else’s Entrecard, they earn credit and so do you. So you earn credits by dropping on other peoples Entrecard and by receiving drops from other Entrecard users . You can then use those credits to advertise on other blogs . The credit requirement can be anywhere from 2 entrecard credits to over 4000 entrecard credits for one day advertising on other blogs . There is no limit on the number of drops you can receive from Entrecard users each day but you can drop a maximum of 300 entrecards each day. As long as you have earned enough credits there is also no limit on the number of advertisements you can purchase each day.

If you want to start getting more visitors to your blog visit and sign up for Entrecard today and place their widget on your blog.

We all think that we know what a blog is yet everyone has a bit different definition. As you may know I subscribe to Google to get notices about news items and items being blogged about. One of those that came across in my email today was about the word blog.

I clicked on the link and came to http://webopedia.com/TERM/B/blog.html where I found What is blog? A Word Definition From the Webopedia Computer Dictionary. Their definition of a blog is as follows:

(n.) Short for Web log, a blog is a Web page that serves as a publicly accessible personal journal for an individual. Typically updated daily, blogs often reflect the personality of the author.

Other forms: Blogger (a person who blogs).

Webopedia lists itself as the number one online encyclopedia dedicated to computer technology.

Do you feel that your blogs reflect your personality. With my own blogs I do believe that they reflect my interests but yet the tone of the particular blog post that I make does not always match my personality. There are much more detailed definitions of a blog yet this is one that is probably the most generally accepted.

As one of the items that I have added to Blog Smart Resources in order to provide both more information and add some profitability to this blog I have added The Newsroom from Voxant.

There are now several videos that have to do with blogging, web 2.0 and social networking. More additions to this page are coming soon.
