New Widget Drives Free Targeted Traffic to Your Blog
Over the weekend, an email about a new blog marketing product called BlogRush was sent out into the world. I thought it looked pretty cool and decided to add it to the blog I launched on Sunday with a brand new blog, I couldn’t afford not to!
BlogRush was all it claimed to be. It took only minutes to register and set up, I had no problems with integrating it into WordPress, it looked good, and seemed to work just as expected.
I would definitely recommend giving this tool a try and getting signed up early as it could bring you more visibility. The reason for starting early is best explained by their video.
My intent was to report on its ability to drive traffic by logging onto the reports page but I’ve found that stats won’t be available for 24-48 hours due to a few post launch glitches (to be expected).
What I find truly amazing is how fast word of this widget spread across the blogosphere. It’s only been available for a few days and yet as a surfed around the blogosphere over the weekend, I found that numerous blogs already had this widget up and running. Wow.
Here’s a not from John Rush, founder of Blog Rush about the launch of the widget
The first 60 hours since we launched the BlogRush public beta has been nothing short of EXPLOSIVE. We knew that we were developing an exciting tool that many bloggers could benefit from, but we had no idea how fast the ‘word’ would spread across the Web.
Your Opinion!
What do you think of BlogRush? Will it work to drive traffic to your site or away from your site? Have you installed it on your blog? If so, have you noticed an increase in traffic? If not, sign up here: http://www.blogrush.com/r20293445
