sitetutor · 09-16-2007, 03:00 PM

some of you have already heard about it, here is some info
[link removed]
You basically just sign up and place the widget on your blog.

You show ads for blogs with related posts and you will appear in return on a post with related subject matter.
So what do you guys think and how many of you are already in?

Link removed. Why not post the direct link here? Self-promotion including linking to your own site or blog is not permitted here.

The direct link is: http://www.blogrush.com/, seems nice way to gain traffic to your blog. When I've got the stats from my blog I'll post it here.

I have read and did an indepth review about this blogrush thing, is it really a main source for traffic?

Jeffro2pt0 · 09-17-2007, 01:29 PM

I too have written my own review about blog rush which you can see on my site. I don't think it's a main source of traffic, it's just one more way to receive traffic

i had put the widget to test it, but my analysis are same as you guys, its just a one more source nothing more then that

ianternet · 09-18-2007, 09:31 AM

well I still cant see stats on my blogrush traffic - bah this hype

WhatiFind · 09-18-2007, 02:38 PM

My traffic details are shown now. And updated live.

I've gotten over 100 uniques send my way the last two days

not bad I'd say. Stumble gives me 200 a day but heh its a start.

You might want to consider taking a look.

Traffic doesn't necessarily mean results.

I might give this a go I've heard about it on a lot of other forums.

WhatiFind · 09-19-2007, 01:16 PM

True. Thank you for pointing this out.

And it seems now after a few days CTR is very low. Check out problogger, johnchow and shoemoney they all reported this.

I believe the network needs to grow, it's only live a couple of days.

Grrr, I'm so tired of hearing about Blog Rush. Since it launched forums are filled with spam posts including affiliate links. Am I the only one tired of seeing these affiliate links?

sitetutor · 09-19-2007, 03:06 PM

blame shoemoney, he has 600 bloggers under him and everyone wants to beat him

RoseDesRochers · 09-19-2007, 03:10 PM

That's it. I'm burning my shoemoney T-shirt. Joking of course.

sitetutor · 09-19-2007, 03:12 PM

he didn't even have to spam all 10k members of his own forum like I did. That's some solid skill.

omnipotentq · 09-21-2007, 05:45 AM

I've just signed up for blogrush...now to see if I get any increase in traffic. My blog is brand-new, though, so I don't know what to expect.

Print · 09-21-2007, 06:01 AM

I think its a scam still.
if you look at the links its showing you will find most of them are autoblogs.

I blame shoemoney as well

dee_el07 · 09-21-2007, 11:35 AM

I signed up yesterday to blogrush and until now I don't see any changes/increase about my blog traffic.. hmm..

When I initially became aware of BlogRush and it’s associated claims of rushing traffic to blogs, I became extremely interested. As a blogger myself, I’m always looking into new ways to generate traffic. As we now know, BlogRush has itself experienced a rush, a rush that I believe is bigger than any smalltime blogger currently using their widget, has experienced. Their system is simple and at face value looks like it would work for everyone, but after reviewing my stats, it looks like it won’t work for me.

My BlogRush Impressions

Out of 2,401 impressions or appearances on various sites, only 4 people have clicked a headline attributed to my site. If you ask me, that’s not exactly a rush of traffic. Now I know it could be possible that the headlines to my articles suck, but is that really the case? My blog is currently competing within the Computers and Internet category and I myself have clicked on a few of the links within the widget on and have found some really cool sites. However, till this day, I have yet to see any of my posts appearing on anyone else’s widget. I even spent half an hour, clicking on various posts from one widget to the next, and I never saw one post from my site.

It’s also worth mentioning that I have checked both my Entry pages, and my Exit pages for the widget url. As we’ve seen earlier, at least 4 people have used the article headline on the widget as an entrance page to my site. However, there are 25 hits for the widget url being used as an exit page. Although I don’t know how many of those exits are attributed to myself, I really feel as if I’m doing everyone else a favor, by having this widget published on my site versus helping myself out.

The only people that seem to be benefiting from this service are the big blogs who most likely have quite a few referrals. BlogRush has stated in their latest email that:

We’ll soon be adding a bonus credit system that gives certain bonuses only to our low traffic members since they need the help the most!

That may be enough to help us small timers out, but only time will tell.
