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
I have seen several posts on Blogrush throughout the day today and I am interested myself to see if it truly does deliver as promised. If it is as promising as it promotes I would deffinatly advise on getting in ASAP, otherwise it will become overflooded very quickly. Thanks for the great post!

Although I’ll reserve judgment until it’s had time to prove its worth or otherwise, I’ve given it space in my sidebar.
There are supporters and dissenters at this stage and the teething problems are ammunition for those who think it will be another over hyped under deliverer. Time will tell I guess.
You are displaying two widgets on this page I notice and you might want to take one down as it is a TOS violation according to the Blog Rush blog and they are threatening to delete accounts over it
Thanks Maurice,
I was planning to remove the second once I got the placement correct and forgot.

Hi Fred,
Having just reread my comment, I hope you didn’t take it as criticism, it wasn’t meant to sound that way! I appreciate how easy it is to overlook things when editing and I just intended to give you a heads up.
