Blog Rush Updates

Well it’s been a couple of weeks or so now since Blogrush hit the scene with a big bang, it seemed for a few days there every man and his dog was talking about it - I know I added it to a couple of my blogs pretty quickly but now that all the initial hullabaloo has died down it’s probably time to sit back and decide whether it’s actually working or not.

For me personally I have received traffic via widgets on other people’s blogs (and in my statcounter I know which blogs they are so I can tell if they’re related or not etc) so to that end I guess it has worked as they are potentially people that may have never found me otherwise, so I guess it gets a tick there.

Behind the scenes there’s been some improvements already (and they are still ongoing) with the introduction of the flavours (so we can choose from a selection of colours for our widget - to match our blogs colour theme etc) which is a good thing.

All blogs will undergo a manual approval process - another tick

Those that have been members for a little while now would no doubt have received an email from John Reese (creator of Blogrush) speaking out against the cheaters and what action(s) will be taken to stop it from happening - so another tick from me

Currently the dashboard is partly under construction (though the stats are back) for the new Beta v2.0  so it’s a wait on see for that. But overall at this stage at least I’m glad I joined- if nothing else it has delivered me some traffic which realistically is the whole point of it.
