@Chris: I’ve only been using BlogRush for a little over a week + I don’t have the exact stats right now – but I’ve noticed on StatCounter a dozen or so clicks in a very short period of time (hour/couple of hours…).

But what I’ve also noticed is that my RSS subscribers have increased considerably :)

I’ve heard a lot about BlogRush in the last weeks so I think I’ll finally give it a try :)

question: how many visitors did you get from it?

@EveryDayFiction.com: Yeah, I’ve seen this too… John talked about that initially they added a few generic blogs to “fill the quota” – But it might also be that people have a few blogs that they add to BlogRush, but only add the widget to 1 or 2. Those blogs will then earn credits but the credits are divided between all the blogs that were added.

It can also be because right now BlogRush members are getting bonus credits – it’s a “thank you” to the early adopters :)

we have installed it too.
But when i click on the links in the widget i find that the sites i sent to don’t have it installed.

i assume that there is paid inclusion but i click 20 links and didn’t find the widget once.
Whats going on here?

@discovery: Yeah, I saw the note from John Reese – but don’t worry, what you’re seeing in the post is only a screenshot (a graphic) :)

Is it ok if you show the widget on your post?Because if I’m not mistaken you can only show the widget on the sidebar.

@Susan: Yeah, John Reese knows how to create buzz :) – It’s amazing how viral this has become.

…and I’ve already received a ton of traffic through BlogRush. So it’s definitely working.

I’ve just recently added it to my site and I’m amazed as to how many posts I’ve come across talking about this new service!

This is a great idea as a traffic building option for blogs.

I am definately going to look into this more as I know of many others who could benefit from a service like this.

I do agree with Hannes in that you should always be writing titles that entice visitors to click and get more information.
