BlogRush – Does This Live Up to the Hype?
BlogRush is a new blogging widget from John Reese. John is well known for has Internet marketing skills. And this is his latest product.
This is a free service that is supposed to “instantly drive a flood of targeted readers to your blog”.
How is this going to do that? You place the widget on your blog and have a selected category for your widget. For every view your site gets, you get a “credit” that is used to display your post title on another person’s blog widget. The busier your blog the more exposure you can get.
And with the ability to sign up people under you in the BlogRush system, you can earn credits for their traffic too. You can earn these credits up to ten levels deep. This can allow for huge growth of your traffic.
Since this is just title exposure on another site, you must really think about your post title. You will want to have a short title that will get the readers attention and make them click through to your site.
I have installed this new widget on the right to test it out and see if it can really drive more traffic.
Once I have so data on this new tool, I will let you know.
What do you think? Is this worth it?

I think that ultimately BlogRush will become a marginal tool, at best. I wrote about why at http://littleautomaticmoneymaker.com/blogging-tools/BlogRush-some-thoughts
These were the questions I asked of BlogRush:
1) How much is the data you give away worth to you?
2) How much revenue does the sidebar space prevent you from earning?
3) Is the return in traffic worth the loss?
4) Do you mind having your traffic reduced by those who are gaming the system?
5) As I understand it, there are spare places in the matrix, these will be monetised at a later date either by placing ad-links or by selling the matrix spaces. Are you happy to be giving away advertising opportunities on your sites in exchange for possible visitors?
Having considered the answers I do not use BlogRush on my sites.
