Increase Your Blog Traffic With BlogRush

I think the BlogRush idea is a good one. But the founders must change the referral system otherwise the first sign-ups and high profile bloggers are going to be the only beneficiaries because they are the ones who will be able to amass more referrals. Because of this fact it does not come as a surprise to me when I see John Chow and other high profile bloggers put positive reviews on BlogRush.

I already add blogrush at my blog. Its good and hope i can get good traffic from that. I know its good for me. :mrgreen:

Yep, I’m trying out BlogRush as well.. have had it for a few days now.. We’ll see in a few weeks how it handles everything.

As a side note: I’m running a contest with a $195 prize attached to it for the winner. For designers and web folks.. try it out.. you’ve got nothing to lose.

Well how many real visitors you get with exposure?

just going to wait for my stats to go live to see the report.

Looks like this could be a cool service. I am giving it a try. Hopefully it will deliver the rush it promises.

Dear Mr John,

Can we mix Blog Rush with Goole Adsense in our blog? Doesn't it violate with Google's TOS?

sounds like another technorati kinda site, except for the widget you get to put on your blog

So, everyone is really enthusiast about this new BlogRush. And, literally, everyone is rushing to get an account. Let's see where this leads to.

Every single blog I read today wrote about BlogRush. Is this a trend or what? I joined it, too, just because some great bloggers wrote about it. But I'm not sure it will work. There are thousands of other blog networks like this.

Anyway, I'll just wait and see.

i have signed up......

Has anyone tried their filter system? It didn't seem to work for me...

I'll probably wait awhile before I add this, but it seems like it has potential.

I will wait on this John, BlogRush May Violate The Adsense Terms Of Service. An article at 45n5 explains this:

Great concept, I like it. Thanks....

This is a really great idea. I just put the widget on my blog and I'm looking forward to seeing if this brings any increased traffic.

I am just trying to figure out now what category to put my blog under. I can't decide if I should do business, marketing, computers & Internet. I can't find any articles on my widget that lead to anything that has to do with making money online, unlike when I look at NetBusinessBlog. Any ideas?

Ahhh, very nice. I love it. I’ll have to download this for my site. Great idea

This is true. I hope this turns out good. Thanks JC.

Nice, that's a good way to get more traffic!

alot of hype surrounding this someone is making a lot of money from it and we will see if it does work give it a few weeks till initial buzz wears off and see where it is there and what bugs need to be worked out

Is this really works :)

Installed it on my blog as well. Waiting to see if it really brings any traffic

John, I just joined Blogrush. BTW, when I visit other blogs via the Blogrush widget, they don't even have the widget on their blogs. :?:

works great for me , wanna sign up plz do tht from here http://www.tinyduck.com/quack/Freetraffic

Problem number one: I just saw a link to a John Chow dot com article on the widget running on johnchow dot com.

Don't they exclude links to the site you are on when displaying the widget? It's a load of crap if it just refers people on site to the same site.

Ahhh, very nice. I love it. I'll have to download this for my site. Great idea. :D

This is only for english blog right now.

Well. I'll not add me until I finished once of my projects :twisted:

sounds interesting. isnt it the same idea behind co-op ad network?
just wondering what google will say about it

i`ve just added blog rush to my blog. let`s see how it works and how it`s gona raise my traffic.

I just thought that i wrote about you john at my blog and bill gates as well, if you were to be crediting the referral through me, wouldn't i get 10,000 exposures for sure? :twisted:

Adsense says your account may be disabled from traffic exchange programs. Hopefully they will overlook this? I would hate to see some big names get banned for something like this.

Certainly looks interesting and worth considering. Thanks for the heads up.

Just implemented it on my blog :D
Thanks for sharing the cool tool

Another one of those why didn't I think of this ideas!

What a coincidence? I just planted BlogRush on my site(http://adawn.squarespace.com) today and then I found out that you are writing about this too! Hopefully this will bring some more traffic. Thanks.

some things don't seem right with this.
#1 - none of the blogs you head to have the widget.
#2 - the site claims to drive 'targeted' traffic. It may inherently break adsense tos for sites with the widget. (paid or not, its advertising too, the site offers no details).
#3 - Google will undoubtedly can the site and several of its users in the same manner as it does article directories. It will become one big bad neighborhood spreader when spammers sink their teeth into it.
#4 - blogging is already getting a bad name for some practices inherent with blog networking, this will make those worse.

My 2 cents - if you want your content on someone elses site contact them directly, otherwise you risk your sites rankings.

HAVE WE ALL BEEN DUPED?!! I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO FIND ONE OTHER SITE WITH THE BLOG RUSH ON IT. I HAVE FOUND NONE!!!

Is it just me or the blogs being showed by the blogrush widget doesn't even have that widget installed. How can they be in the top of the list? Sounds more like a joint venture by some bloggers to get more traffic =)?

That's some crazy potential.

I hope they have a big network of religion/economics/politics/christianity blogs....

But that might bee too specific.
