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?
