I don’t blame you for pulling the plug on the widgets you deemed to be non essential. As you certainly know, page loading speed is now one of Google’s things. I think anytime we can rid our blogs of excess baggage, it can only be good. Oh, guess what ? Blogger finally came up with a mobile plug in that automatically generates a smart phone page, when it senses a mobile browser! Ok Ok, I know WP has had this, but I am married to Blogger. I even went into my template, and made myself DO FOLLLOW. Unfortunately, there is no Keyword or Comment Plug In for Blogger, at this time. No big deal for most of my blogs, as they are business related anyway.

@Martin@Cornyman’s Money-Blog, hey Martin thank you for stopping by and taking the time to leave a comment I really appreciate it. Karen runs an awesome blog, I will have to thank her for sending you my way

As time goes on I will probably be removing a lot of the “stuff” that is in sidebars and other areas of the blog that really serve no use or don’t generate any interest. There’s really no sense on having it if it’s not of any use to anyone.

Hopefully I can continue to put content up that you find useful or helpful

I guess you have already grown out the stage where EntreCard is of use… in the starting days of a blog. I used to waste my time daily to drop several hundred cards for some of my blogs. Since 10 days i stopped nearly completely dropping cards, sure that the amount of traffic sucks afterward but still several members stop by regularly which is a good sign (being on their EC-Bar favorite list).

If Google really implements the use of fast loading websites/blogs in their search algorithm, i should clean my sidebar and reduce some ads to a minimum, especially the one who never converted into $$

By the way, your blog is always an inspiration for me since i found you on Karen’s Blog some weeks ago.

While Entrecard may bring crap traffic could it help in other ways? For example, might it help Alexa ratings or other stats. Traffic is synergistic. More traffic brings better stats and ratings which puts your name higher on lists and makes you more visible Higher visibility leads to more traffic. .-= Ned Carey´s last blog ..The Last Shoe Is About to Drop =-.

I'm also considering removing the Entre Card too but I think I'll give it another month then maybe decide whether it should stay or not. .-= ZXT´s last blog ..Why a Good Web Host is Important =-.

I tried entrecard on a gardening blog back when it first began. I had a lot of credits and could buy my way into any site I wanted.
But I just could not see the point after a while. I really didn’t care about bounce rate; I just wanted to make money, and there was definitely not even a dime to be found in Entrecard traffic.

On to your house cleaning, I think that is a good thing. Sometimes you gotta do what feels right and hope it works out.
