The hottest trend in the Blogosphere, is it here to stay?
Since you’re now reading this blog, than you’re probably reading other blogs too. If this is the case than you’ve most likely noticed on many blogs the “blog post title” widget called Blogrush.
Blogrush was launched around September 10 and no one really expected this but the number of signups the first week where mind blowing. This was all because of a few posts from the mayor bloggers.
The man behind Blogrush is John Reese who is also a good personal friend of Jeremy Schoemaker from shoemoney.com. Jeremy was one of the first that wrote about a great new system that could generate free traffic.
Shortly after that Problogger Darren Rowse made a Blogrush first impression review and that’s when things really exploded in the Blogosphere. According Jeremy more than 15.000 people singed up the first day.
Than all hell broke loose!!
People where complaining about the publicity overkill, the colours and most important the terrible click thru rate.
While browsing around in a couple of forums, I found several ways to beat the system. According a Blogrush bulk e-mail that I received today, they are the reason why the click thru rate is so terrible. Blogrush is now “opening the hunt on these cheaters”! I have no clue what this means, people will always find ways the “cheat” the system. Blogrush is also going to expand their category list, which is a very good thing if you ask me. This way visitors will stay in the same nice as the clicked on widget.
You can now get several Blogrush “flavors”, so this will probably end the colour debate.
And than the publicity overkill, well what do you expect if there’s a great new thing on the market?
I decided to stick with this new trend for a while.
All I am reading about is the negative side of this widget; why not talk about the positive side of it. I really think it’s a nice looking and valuable asset for my blog. I would lie if I would say that I don’t care about my blog traffic but that’s not the main reason why I kept this on my blog. What I am trying to accomplish with The World of Modern Men is that I want this blog to be an experience. If your feeling bored and you have an hour to spare, The World of Modern Men is your online hangout. We want to entertain you and if this means sending you to another blog, well so be it. I can only hope for you to come back and that you are ready for some new interesting and fun reading.
