Unfortunately John Reese has put a full and permanent halt on BlogRush's free service. This sdrvice is no longer valid.

What does your blog have to offer to its readers? Or better yet, what can you and your blog readers prosper from while both parties get what they want and need? Well my friend, there's this spiffy little widget created by  the brilliant mind of John Reece! Essentially John Reece wanted a way for bloggers and website owners to be able to easily exchange high amounts of traffic between websites which adds to the win-win situation.

But that's not all! BlogRush is new, which means the sooner you jump on the bandwagon the better off you'll be since the BlogRush system is based off of credits, which you can earn by posting the BlogRush widget on your website/blog, if someone visiting your site doesn't find what they are looking for they might click an interesting article they see on your BlogRush widget and be taken away from your site to the linked article in the BlogRush widget.

"Wait! visitors, precious traffic, leaving my site because of BlogRush? That's horrible!" You're probably thinking that after reading the last paragraph. Think about it for a second, think about how the BlogRush system works. You have the BlogRush widget on your site, thousands upon thousands have the widget on their site just the same, people on other sites are reading and seeing YOUR article links and the chances are they will be HIGHLY INTERESTED in what they are clicking on.

Having a high level of extremely targeted visitors is probably the best way to get your point across, pitch an product, get readers to subscribe to your site/blog, the list goes on and on when it comes to people who are looking for what you have. The widget itself isn't that intrusive, doesn't increase the loading times of your pages much and comes in 2 widths of 175px or 120px for sites that may need the slim version to use in tight spots. Integration of the BlogRush widget is simple also, you choose the category for your widget and the color, once you have customized your widget copy the couple lines of code provided and paste it wherever on your site you want the BlogRush widget to show up and you're done! Simple huh?

The Snowball  Effect.

I've been using BlogRush since the beginning and I can say this widget will bring traffic in. John Reece used the term "Snowball effect" when mentioning how the system works. While in order to get an even bigger "Snowball effect" you will probably be better off using the widget on a site that already has at least some traffic.

BlogRush Syndication Crediting System

BlogRush uses a 1:1 ratio crediting system which means for every impression your widget gets, you get syndication points and your syndication points are automatically spread throughout other BlogRush widgets all over the internet. This is a basic explanation and for explanatory purposes I'll provide the "How do I earn syndication credits" FAQ from the BlogRush FAQ page here.

How do I Earn Syndication Credits?

Syndication credits are earned based on the following formula: You earn credits on your own traffic using a 1:1 ratio. (One credit for each time the widget is served.) You then earn credits based on your referrals traffic (and their referrals traffic) through 10 generations of referrals based on the following ratios: 1st and 2nd generation (i.e. your direct referrals and their direct referrals) 1:1, 3rd - 6th generation = 1:4 ratio, 7th - 10th generation = 1:8 ratio. After all the math is calculated, there is a surplus of 1 headline space (5 spaces in each widget load) for every 10 that are served. So 10% of all the headline space is reserved for BlogRush itself to sell or use.

My Conclusion

BlogRush is a great way to get extra traffic to your site without paying a penny, it also drives highly targeted visitors to your content which are both great bonuses of using BlogRush. However, BlogRush performs different for low traffic websites then it does for high traffic, while you might see a fewer hits on low traffic sites from the BlogRush widget, its still a great way to advertise your content to the masses and anything that helps drive traffic is good for any website.

Also note that you can earn more "syndication credits" by getting referrals under your BlogRush widget and that can only increase your traffic and definitely impressions from the BlogRush widget.

In the end, BlogRush is a sure winner when it comes to inventive ways to help sites build traffic for their website. join BlogRush for free today! and start building up your credits before someone else does!
