Blog Rush Widgets Spreading Like WildFire- Feedback
Blog Rush widgets seem to have spread like Wildfire over the last couple of days, and I’ve spotted them on most blogs.
If you someone missed the news, Blog Rush is a new Blog Syndication network that displays links to your posts based on how many widget impressions you generate on your own site and on the sites that you’ve referred.
I decided not to add the Blog Rush widget to my site, because I think it will get a low CTR because I can’t blend it into my sidebar, so I just promoted it instead hoping that I’d get a few referrals. I’d be interested to hear if any of the people who have added the Blog Rush widget have noticed any additional traffic from BlogRush in their stats, or whether the widget has had any adverse effects e.g. on page loading times.
Update: I just logged onto my dashboard and I’ve had just under 3,000 impressions and a paltry 2 clicks. I’m definitely not adding the Blog Rush widget because as I expected it’s not driving traffic, because many bloggers are putting the widget in poor locations. Even if I did add it, for my 17k or so impressions a day I would only get 11 extra visitors a day!

Where you put it Joseph has no impact as your inbound traffic is determined by which other bloggers display your posts and where on their sidebars. If it’s hidden away far from a hotspot you’re not going to get any clicks.
Blog Rush needs to reward bloggers that generate a high CTR to encourage good positioning, or something as there’s no onus on bloggers than to place the widget somewhere
