Everyone else in my blogging niche jumped on the BlogRush bandwagon while I didn't. After reading similar posts to yours I'm glad that I didn't add it to my blog.

I only keep the BlogRush widget on my site because Shoemoney and JohnChow use it as well.

I was thinking that they must know something that I don't, however now I feel that BlogRush may be paying them to keep the widget on their site.

The thing about blogrush is that that it does not send targeted traffic and the widget itself looks out of place on most blogs.

Geomarkq, so it'd be ok if we were a smaller blog and blog about it?

It seems the bigger bloggers like you give these crappy new services way too much time and attention. Maybe it's because you are trying to be a nice member of the blogger community, which is fine. But seriously, it became obvious pretty early that BlogRush was crap. I ditched them months ago.

I removed it a while ago to. Maybe November last year. Probably much sooner actually... Although... I say removed. More like banned lmao.

I think I was banned anyway, probably because I gamed it to get thousands of credits and made a post about the method I used to rub in the fact that such a simple tactic could be used to cheat it.

I also was the first online to post about gaming BR :)

If John Reese kept pushing and developing it I think people would still use it but it's just like he's lazy and just leaving it flounder. He doesn't care so why should other people. Income.com has been 'coming' for about a century.

I can't believe anyone is still using this. I never bothered with it although I studied it enough to launch BlogCrap ;)

Blogrush bounced me a while back because they said my 100% original content blog lacked original content. Glad to hear I'm not missing anything.

I haven't try blogrush yet because it looks not that good and the comments from other blogger about blogrush is not that good too. Probably wont be using that.

I rode the horse as long as I could... tried to get it to drink, but it wouldn't. Finally took it out and shot it... it's name was BlogRush.

I was just thinking that your blog's been pretty lame lately, then you put up a good "controversial" post about dumping blogrush :mrgreen:

Blogrush has sucked for me too; a bunch of credits (whatever that means), and 0 traffic.I dumped it last week.

You should be running a custom ScratchBack.com widget. ZacJohnson.com is using one at $25/tip and he's cleaning up. www.scratchback.com

Good for you John! Actually I don't like people use free advertising to make themselves people with the expense of the other people's resources or time. Just take a look at Agloco. They all have the same concept and biz models. IMO when it has the matrix or MLM type biz they would never work period.

blogrush is useless I think the entrecard widget is a thousand times better than the blogrush and I see you are like in top tier on etrecard of as internet marketing. Also the reason John reese stop caring about blogrush was that he probably has so many projects going on if I was him I would pay someone to write the blogrush blog.

Yep, I did follow the bandwagon on this one when it first came out, but after a few days, I saw just awful traffic levels, junk in the links, and an ugly big widget, I removed it. Permanently. There is little reason to waste time on it. BlogRush wanted the placement to be higher, GEEZ... why should I advertise another company prominently on my website, when I get so little back from them in the way of traffic. The only real people who benefit from this are BlogRush...

I got rid of the widget about a month ago too. Did receive any traffic from it.

When Agloco went BlogRush was always my favourite to go next. Of course I was biased seeing as how I manged to get banned within a few days of starting to use it but it never delivered any decent traffic anyway. Entrecard on the other hand...

Never tried them out but since everyone is ditching them after the New Year, it seems like the widget is just a space eater. :mrgreen:

Ditch the widget, everyone!

I'm glad I read this post because I totally forgot about blogrush. I received less than 1000 visits and I have over a million credits that seems to never get used. I'm removing blog rush from my website right now. The space is better used for something else such as making my website look less cluttered.
