BlogRush Review - Get Free Blog Traffic (Videos, Tips & Tricks, and more!)

If you have a slow connection or prefer not to view the video now, I've transcript part of the narrations below.



As a blogger there is probably one thing you want more than anything else : More readers for your blogs, you want your blog traffic to grow.

As you may or may not know, most of the options for driving more traffic to your blog are either too expensive or take a lot of your time. Well now here is another option - It's cheaper, it's faster and it can grow your blog's traffic exponentially without you doing any work at all! And best of all it sends you the right kind of traffic because it'll be people who are already reading a blog similar to yours.

You can get started in less than 5 minutes and it's completely free. Welcome to BlogRush, your blog syndication network.

This is a screenshot of what the BlogRush "widget" looks like. Each time a page loads with this widget, the widget will refresh with 5 blog post titles (along with the name of the blog or author; the user's choice) and a link to the full post and blog. Links open in a new window so it doesn't take a visitor away from the original blog showing the widget.

These blog links will be from related blogs across the BlogRush Network. Each blog in our network gets set to a specific category that defines its content. We're combining this with proprietary technology that we are developing to help serve relevant posts.

These additional links offer great value to a blog visitor, but the real power of the service is how it helps blogs generate more traffic.

Each time the widget gets loaded on any page of someone's blog, they'll have one of their latest blog post titles and a link served inside the widget on another related blog. But it goes wayyy beyond that.

See the "Add Your Blog Posts - FREE" area at the bottom of the widget? And the BlogRush tab? Well, if anyone clicks on either of those areas they will be taken to the BlogRush web site where they can learn about the free service and start hosting the widget on their site. BUT that's not free advertising for BlogRush. Those links serve a powerful purpose.

When someone joins BlogRush, our system knows exactly WHERE they came from. The originating blog gets permanently marked in our system as the "referrer" for that new blog. And as you may have already guessed, the original blog now earns additional "syndication credit" on all the traffic that the referring blog produces - every single day. But it doesn't stop there. If that new blog refers another user, that original blog then earns credits based on THAT new user as well. It continues through 10 "generations" of referrals with no limit to the number of blogs and/or traffic that can be produced by any level.

This 'process' provides incredible LEVERAGE. You can have a blog that gets just 1 visitor a week, but if that next visitor happens to be someone with a blog that gets 25,000 visits a day, and they click your widget and sign up, you'll start having your blog posts promoted over 25,000 TIMES A DAY. And that doesn't even count all the potential "viral growth" that can then occur from that blog referring other blogs. It's very, very powerful.

...

There's a lot more to BlogRush. for example, you can setup keyword filters if you never want certain blog post titles to be displayed inside the widget on your blog, for example, that ever mention "iPhone." Or you can add a filter to completely block an entire's blog from ever having its post titles shown inside your widget.

You can also add multiple blogs to your BlogRush account and decide how you want to use your "syndication credits." You can use them all on one of your blogs, or split them up equally. It's up to you.

Most Blogs have RSS feeds, but if your blog or common website does not come with one. Here's what you can do to manually create that RSS feed as a plain text file on your server.

Create a plain text file with the above and name the filename something.rss (doesn't really matter) and upload it to your server.

Example: (Edit all the blue text)


Then, in the blogrush settings, add the RSS Feeds as http://www.yourwebsite.com/something.rss

That's it! This is only a work around and can be extra work. However it gives you control over what is shown and linked on blogrush.

Some illustration are found in the BlogRush video and here are the details:

Direct Credits:

By placing a widget on your site, you earn a 1:1 ratio of syndication credits on the exposure your generate, meaning that each time the widget loads on a page view on your site, you get 1 credit.

Referral Credits:

This goes down 10 generation level, but at different level you may earn a different credit ratio on the traffic it brings.

See table below.

How does the math all adds up?

Each widget displays 5 related titles from the blogrush member network. (Note: these need not be taken from your referral's blogs)

As an example in the table, when a user generates 8 impressions, a total of 40 or (8x5) titles are being displayed in the widgets of related blogs somewhere.

This means that blogrush has advertising space for 40 blog entries, and thus 40 syndication credits can be rewarded to users in the 10 level referral up-line.

Say this is your referral at the 10th level. Following the table illustration, this user will earn 8 credits for making 8 impressions (Direct Credit), then the first up-line (at 9th level) will also earn 8 credits, and the next in line will earn 8 credits, then 2, 2, 2, 2, 1, 1, 1 and finally up to YOU (1 credit for You).

The sum of the distributed (awarded) credits in this case is 36. The balance 4 credits (or 10% of 40) are left-over for the company, BlogRush.

They can sell these 10% space for profit or give them out as bonuses. Well, actually the company will get more than 10% if your consider that most "heavy hitters" will probably sign up at the first levels of the network, meaning that there's no body above them. Therefore, all these get into the company's pool (which is nice given out as bonuses ;).

Most reviewers say there are a LOT more benefits for the company than just selling these left-over ad space. What do you think?

Will I get a LOT of traffic given this?

I'm not so sure about getting "traffic" (click-thru) but if you have a few good referrals under your network, they can indirectly help you to earn tons of "impressions" (exposures) for sure!

If you consider the matrix again, it tells you that the first 3 levels of referrals will help yield 100% of the credits they earn! (e.g. everyone in the 3 levels above gets 8 credits each, the same amount as the user him/herself!).

That's why if you are going for referral credits, it's better to go broad (breath) than depth. And certainly it's better to get referrals with very busy blogs for those 3 levels - again, you earn the SAME amount of credit as they do!
