I just happened to come across your blog via Blogrush, Just wanted to let you know. I will agree with George I am a big fan of John Reese and will use the system until I find that it is taking up valuable space on my blog that might be better used for something else.

i just heard that Blogrush will be manually approving Blogs pretty soon and that should help keep away spammers and affiliate only blogs.

I just came across your blog, looks you have some really good content.

I really liked what you said about building relationships. It is something I have been working on over the last year and it has really started paying off lately. It’s not the only way to be succesful in business, but it REALLY helps.

As far as blogrush, I am a big fan of John Reese, so I am taking a wait and see approach.

I agree, I had a problem and I emailed blogrush about it and never heard back. John said they are going to go over every ones blog to see who fits and who dont fit into the blog rush area. My guess is the richer get richer and us little guys have to find our own way around.

I am affraid that the big boys will continue to grow and not leave anything for us till the blog fad dies out.

I agree that building any successful business is about relationships – look at blogs for instance. The most popular blogs have become popular via word of mouth and the blogger becoming known within the niche.

However as far as BlogRush goes I think there’s more to it than that. The ten tier referral system is the viral part that has everybody excited. I still think it would have got a lot of attention even if it has been an unknown who had launched it.

[...] Relationships = Hype = BlogRush = Success?- “Why is BlogRush having such a huge amount of immediate success?One common answer I’ve read is that BlogRush is about the power of HYPE.This is certainly true but “Hype” is often not the first part of the equation. It’s about building RELATIONSHIPS! [...]

I would say give them a month or two, and then start using it. They should have a pretty stable system by then, and the big bugs should be fixed.

It may be getting good exposure now, but it may drop off the earth soon. Larger blogs can’t get enough exposure in exchange for impressions and smaller blogs feel like they are just losing readers with no return.
Looks like it will fizzle but I am also going to give it a while.

The CTR for my blog’s been horrendous. I’m in the Finance section of BlogRush where I figured there wouldn’t be much in the way of competition. Well there really isn’t much competition which would explain why I’m gaining more syndication credits than using. I’ve heard from John Chow, I believe, that you can add additional blogs to your account and as such increase your exposure and CTR. In the end, it may not be worth it to be quite honest.

My current stats: 2164 current balance
Impressions so far: 2329
Clicks: 2
