Everyone seems to have joined Blogrush. Well, everyone in SEO / Marketing and Blog about Blogging. Now, I have too!
After all, this promises more traffic, particularly if you suck your visitors into the BlogRush Borg and get them to join, and then get them to get their visitors to join.
I figured knitting bloggers haven’t joined yet so I might as well give it a try and get the knitter to join and have a huge downline! Of course, I will fail because right now:
- The widget looks ugly. I mean.. look at that… that… thing! (I’ll have to check to see if I can adjust the color.)
- Blogrush doesn’t have a knitting category. Heck, they don’t even have a craft category. It’s “hobbies”. Sorry, but knitters don’t want to visit blogs about quilting or woodworking. (Maybe they’ll create more refined hobbies in the future?)
- Knitters aren’t into plastering their blogs with widgets.
That said: I think Blogrush will be big and it will make John Reese a lot of money. I just don’t think I’ll get a huge downline at my knitting blog! Still, it’s worth trying.
And anyway, I get more traffic at that blog than this one. Maybe BlogRush will detect the traffic there, “credit” me and send displays here?
If you haven’t already joined, you might want to give this a try. Remember, you get credit for visits to your blog, the blogs you recruit, the blogs they recruit and so on down to 10 blogs. If you want to give it a whirl: Join Blog Rush
Anybody actually see dashboard stats yet? Seems strange that the stats don’t start appearing right away. A lot of people (myself included) are putting some faith into this one working as advertised.
Dashboard stats message in Blogrush currently says: “We encountered some minor issues with the batch processing of our first cycle of member statistics (it’s a lot of data to crunch) and we just about have it fixed. We hope to have your statistics up and running very soon as we know they are very important to you. We just need a little bit more time.”
We put it on our group blog, but are holding off using it elsewhere until we see if we aren’t just sending readers into a non-returning black hole.
With that said, traffic was up a little bit over the weekend averages, so that’s a positive sign.
Hummm….
I think very interesting to talk about because we people generally ignore these small things. I would like to appreciate your effort.
