BlogRush had removed over 10,000 blogs from its system. This is one of the many measures that has been taken by Reese to make this struggling but promising project into success.

Previously it has been suffering very low click-through rates. People were reporting some 0.0XX click-through rates. (and some even 0.00917).

From Reese’s last post, this move should reflect in better click-through rates for all the blogs in the network in general, and it will also improve the quality of the blogs in the network. Because you won’t be seeing any posts from these 10,000 blogs anymore… and that means (hopefully) you will only see better posts in the widget (see top-left widget - are the posts good enough in the widget?).

Did you receive this email?

If you have received the following email, then your blog is one of the blogs that was not banned.

But if you didn’t… or if you got a different email, then don’t be upset. The good thing is that, you can re-apply for inclusion. Just login to your account and follow the instructions provided.

If your blog is banned then you will also notice that the widget won’t show on your blog anymore.

Will I be using the Widget?

I do not think I will be using the BlogRush widget just yet. Because some of the things I would like to see changed in BlogRush widgets have not been incorporated yet. Particularly, the look and feel customization and size customization options.

BlogRush ‘n’ you… so far

What is your opinion on BlogRush? Have you signed up for it? Have you passed the latest quality audit? If yes, are you more optimistic that you will get more clicks now? How BlogRush has been performing in general for your blog? Has your blog been banned? If yes, are you angry, upset…? Please share your thoughts…

    I did pass “quality audit” but I’m more than skeptic about the success of Blogrush.

    In my opinion there’s no way that you will get decent traffic amount using it, mostly because almost all users add this widget in places that are hard to see and just very few visitors notice it at all.

    I keep holding off and holding off trying it at all. It keeps getting a little more crazy each week and it doesn’t look like it helps traffic at all right now. I will probably still sit on the sidelines and see what happens for a while. Scott

    I got banned. They said that my site was too much into the promotion of credit cards and not enough into raw talk or information.

    Oh well, I can apply again in 30 days, but I probably won’t even bother. They never did anything for me.
