Big Bad Bertha is a comical Christmas present. She is quite a voluptuous garden gnome and now lives in with the Grosse Lisse and Beefsteak Tomato bushes. I hope her melons inspire large juicy tomatoes.

Win 500 Entrecard Credits

Recently I joined the free Entrecard service in order to attract more traffic. An Entrecard is an online business card of sorts and is used to “drop” on other bloggers websites who also participate in the service. Whenever you drop a card you, and the person receiving the card, are given an Entrecard Credit (EC). Accumulated EC’s are then used to purchase advertising slots from other network participants.

As you can appreciate in order to make 500 credits it is 500 drops of the card. This equates to a minimum of 1 and a half days as card dropping is capped at 300 per day. Now I have found that Ferrari Dave is giving away 500 EC’s in one foul swoop at Win 500 Entrecard Credits with a very simple competition. This is invaluable for anyone starting up as credits means traffic. If you can manage to capture some of that traffic then that will turn into readership, and if you monetize, will turn into cash.

As my blog is still developing I am keen to grab the 500 EC’s, so expect some hefty but friendly competition.
