BlogRush: Did you get your traffic spike?

BlogRush was launched recently by John Reese and the amount of attention it has received is just amazing. I don’t think any other site of its category has ever received the kind of attention that BlogRush received.

For those not aware, BlogRush calls itself a ‘Blog Syndication Network’. Basically, you show one of their widgets on your site (you can see it on the sidebar), and for every impression their widget gets, you get impressions of your blog on our blog sites. This can help generate some additional traffic to your site.

It works on the pyramid structure, i.e., you get a percentage of syndications each time your referral’s site shows the widget. So, the higher you are in the pyramid structure, in theory, you should get that much more traffic.

So does BlogRush work? I’ve had a few people sign up under me and I’ve seen only a small inflow of traffic from this widget. So, it is worth the effort of putting on your site? I think its too soon to say. My blog is not a very high traffic blog (yet!), but even then I have a spare credits in BlogRush. What that means is that they are not able to show my listings on their widgets enough times for all the credits I’ve earned!!! That’s not a good sign for sure. Rather than credits piling up, I would prefer it getting exhausted the moment its earned.

Lets wait and watch how BlogRush grows or falls…
