Every blogger has different ways or methods on dropping. So, the question is, how do a stay at home mommy like me drop? With other concerns aside from my blogging life, how do I do it?

Well simple. I just drop. Nothing special about it since I am not a power dropper, I just drop and drop. Though I have my own preferences when dropping, for example for this blog: 1) I drop to all my favorite blogs, 2) I drop to those who dropped at my blog and 3) Drop to widgets that I find interesting until I reach 300. For my other blogs, like Mommy Makes Money Online and Blessings and Beyond, I just drop on my favorite blogs and those that dropped there. The rest, I just drop back to those that dropped at my blogs. I don’t strive hard to reach 300 for all only for this blog.

Technically that means, if you drop at my blogs, definitely you will get a drop back from me. Maybe not all in my blogs but most on my domain blogs.

So, how about you? How do you drop? Any preferences?

Just finished dropping 300 EntreCards around eight this morning and it was sad because I was not able to drop back on other blogs who dropped at me. Anyway, I will try to drop at them today. I am hoping to drop 300 EntreCards per day for the month of September. I am not sure I can do it but I will try anyway.

So how many drops can you make every day? Some can do 300, 600 to 900 drops with their different blogs (but not me), how about you?

When I was doing my usual blog hopping the other day, I came across MamaFlo’s post entitled, “How do you drop your EntreCards?” So, since the questions she listed didn’t get off my mind, I decided to answer it here and right now. Here are the questions and my answers:

Has the addition of Entrecard’s Firefox toolbar changed your dropping habits?
Well, before it really didn’t change but when I came across MamaFlo’s post that there was a Beta Toolbar with the “Not Dropped On” I started using it to drop back to people who dropped at me and that I was not able dropped on.

Do you drop on Favorites or from your Inbox?
First, I drop on all the blogs who joined my Surf and Drop project, after that I use the EntreCard Toolbar to drop on my favorites and next to those who I haven’t dropped back inside my Inbox.

If you drop from your Inbox, have you requested through Entrecard that they add a “Not Dropped On” category?
I don’t actually remember that I requested or what, but I did wished that the toolbar would have one.

If you drop from your Inbox does this penalize a “friend” when they are ill or out of town because they aren’t dropping back (not in your inbox)?
I am not really aware of the penalizing thing. If there is, I should have penalized many blogs that I have dropped on – they are not dropping back. LOL!!

Do you have a certain time of the day that you drop?
Usually I drop on my favorites after 12nn and then the rest around 12am.

How many blogs do you drop for and how many do you drop for each blog?
I try to drop at least 300 for Pinay Mommy Online, but for the rest, I only try to drop on those that dropped on it.

So, that’s it. That is all my answer. Thanks Mommy Deb for sharing this! Actually, I noticed the “Not Dropped On” Category in the EntreCard Beta Toolbar from you. Kudos!

Emails have been sent by ENTRECARD to inform all members that uses a fast drop page will be banned and all accounts deleted.

This is quoted from the email:

This message is to inform you that effective July 1, 2008, Entrecard will be purging from its system the accounts of all members currently operating “Quick Drop Pages”. We have assembled a massive list of all quick drop pages, and starting on the above mentioned date, we are going to go through the entire list and close the accounts of all the owners.

For me this is a great news since we will be assured that our visitors from ENTRECARD are physically present at our blogs. Somewhat, I am also sad because I can no longer get free advertising for my EC online store (LOL!!).

Anyway, I will also take this opportunity to invite all droppers to my “Surf and Drop” Project. This is a webring of EntreCard users who likes to drop and reciprocate at the same time. Seeing same blogs all the time will bring familiarity, thus bringing regular commentators. Join us now and find interesting sites! Show love and get love.

I have bought a new domain. I haven’t announced it yet. So just for sake of fun, I am inviting you to find nemo…err…I mean my new domain.

If you find it, send me a message at my YM: pinaymommyblogger with the domain name you have found. After that, once confirmed correct, leave a comment here with your entrecard details and I will send you 20 free ec credits for FREE!!

This fun-filled contest will end after 30 correct answers.

Anyway, the “Surf and Drop” ring can help you easily surf and drop to similar blogs who would like to reciprocate the surfing and dropping love in the blogosphere. It can also help the dropper concentrate at one blog at a time to allow blog post reading or scanning before proceeding to dropping at the EntreCard widget. It’s not only a simple drop but it is doing every blogger a favor – a true “you drop and i follow” way.
