Placement of your Entrecard Widget
You might not think this but the placement of your Entrecard widget is very important. If you have a widget which takes a long time to click people will not be as happy about spending reading your posts.
If your widget is at the top of the page it is quick and simple to click on. Meaning that people who have to limit the time they spend on each site (due to 300 widget clicks taking so long).
Easy clicks make users happy to stay
I limit myself to 1 minute per site. If i dont see updates on the site I dont spend as long on it making my dropping process shorter. Some sites I do spend 5-10 minutes on but there is only really 1-2 in this situation and only because they offer great posts.
I really do believe that your widget should be very close to the top of your page. Put it in your sidebar and have it either top or second from top (second to search or login features).
If you get alot of drops each day and you build up a strong user base you may be able to move the widget lower in your sidebar.
But at the start before you build this up you should always make it easy for people to click.
