Boost Your Traffic With BlogRush


  • I was reading ProBlogger this evening about something called BlogRush. I figured if it was good enough for Darren to check out, it must be good enough for me, so I thought I’d give it a shot.

    BlogRushWhat is BlogRush?
    It’s similar to what I used to use on MAMD: The Good Blogs. It’s a network of blogs that you join (for free). You place the widget on your blog which will display headlines of other blogs and yours on their’s. BlogRush does something similar, but you earn “credits” that will offer you more exposure.

    How does it work?
    Well, first it’s very simple to sign-up. After you enter your blog’s vitals, you’re given code to display the widget on your blog (see my sidebar below).

    If your blog receives 100 page views in one day, then your blog will be displayed on other like-minded blogs (based on the category you choose) that many times. And if someone signs up after clicking your referral link, then as they earn more exposure, so do you. The potential of increased readers is very high, yet, I’ll decide for sure as I give this more time to do just that.

    Going back to my comment about The Good Blogs, the reason I removed it from my blog was because I received no traffic from it. I am hopeful that BlogRush is different. I’ll keep you posted on my findings. In the meantime, feel free to sign-up as my referral and let’s see what happens together.

    I was just reading about this in Yaro’s newsletter. Since I just woke up (late I know haha), I’ll wait until I get something to eat before I make up my mind lol.

    @Baron: good plan. I found something else that looked like it may have potential. I’ll email you when I get some sleep. It’s after 2 AM now. :shock:

    Hey there Jos! It definitely seems to be getting a lot of talk by other blogs. Let’s keep our fingers crossed that it will deliver some traffic.

    Yeah I hopped on this bandwagon. I’m starting to get the impression of a bigger impression from it. For one, I think it’s here to help business blogs only. I think it may have the potential to hurt non-business blogs.

    What I recommend is: Never click a prominent blogs link in the widget EVER! Let the big bloggers suffocate, they should have been left out.

    People don’t realize that by linking to and/or following the big blogs to gain page rank, they are imprisoning their own blogs in a chamber of failure. Thats why I NEVER link to any big blogs and never will. I think Tech Crunch should delete all links to big blogs. Then he should link to 1000 blogs that have no page rank at all. If I were him I’d do it in a second. Do you think I’m insane? Ha ha ha :shock:

    @Bobby: I had no idea about all that. That’s why I like reading your posts so much because you bring to light such interesting viewpoints and advice.

    I so don’t want this widget to become like The Good Blogs. At least for me, it was much of a traffic generator. I’ll be looking at this in my web reports for sure.

    A better alternative to this would be for bloggers to have their own version of this widget that displayed headlines from blogs that they choose.

    Thanks Mark! The one thing I know for sure is that all things have an opposite, light/dark, hot/cold etc.

    If the experts say only to link to sites with page rank and never link to pages without it – there is a flip side to that which has equal power (it’s logical).

    It is in this opposite direction that untapped power exists. The tricky part is learning how to use it :smile:

    Brown Baron: That is a great idea! When will you release version 1.0? :smile:

    Hi Mark, you can keep your fingers crossed for my results now, too… :smile:

    @Baron: yes, that is a great idea. Where do I sign up? ;)

    @Bobby: makes sense to me. The advice the experts give troubles me as well because it will only serve the ones who get in first, leaving others behind who could have perfectly good content. Yes, indeed, untapped power awaits [puts hands to temples and concentrates reallly hard :mrgreen: ]

    @Jos: cool! Thank you. :)
