Everybody loves some free promotion and traffic for their blog, and one way to go about getting some for your site may be to use Blogrush.
Blogrush is responsible for that little widget you see on the bottom of my right sidebar, and it supplies headlines from other sites who are also members of Blogrush. If you see something you’re interested in, just click on the headline and go read – so far, so seen it all before.
A Credit To You?
The usual way these sites work, is to display one of your headlines on someone else’s widget once, for every impression the widget receives on your blog, a straight one for one approach. Blogrush is different in two ways:
- The one for one credit still applies, but you earn extra credits each time you refer someone to Blogrush – the more the better.
- The headlines supplied to the widget are supposed to be contextual: meaning your links should only appear on blogs relevant to your content, and therefore more likely to be clicked.
Time will tell obviously, but the idea is a good one, and the combination of extra impression plus contextual placement should mean that you receive more clicks than similar schemes. You can’t do any worse than registering, giving the widget a try and seeing what you get out of it.
Andy Beard has given it quite a convincing write-up, and as he says the best time to get in on any of these ideas is early: hence my post today.

Follow-up comment rss or Leave a TrackbackI am not sure how the ratios really work, they are hanging on to a little for themselves as far as I have read on the income.com blog, and the tiers above you have to get their “cut” as well.
With 10 tiers I would expect it to be

I suggest to your readers to sign up (use Chris’s link not mine, even if you read my review, and promote it like crazy.
Sounds like a great concept! And you right about getting in early with stuff like this.
Chris & Andy, thanks for the reviews. I just joined.. lets see how this one goes.
Cheers K, hope it works out for all of us.
Andy, your review sold it to me, so I’m blaming you if it doesn’t work
I joined too. I saw most of the top bloggers using it and recommending it, so it can’t be too harmful to add this in..

I signed up under you
Thanks Matthew: We’re all part of Andy Beard’s evil empire now
[...] recommend signing up immediately just to test it out, just like these people [...]
Seems like a good idea. I am intrigued to see how it works contextually.
Just an idea. If anyone can send me a screenshot of the widget showing a Pisstakers post (and let me know the URL of the blog page it appeared on) I will post it on my front page (You’ll get a PR5 back link for your troubles and show us how contextual this thing really is!)
Sounds like a good offer Ed, I’ll keep my eyes peeled….
I recently developed a free wordpress plugin called “BlogRush Click Maximizer”. By using it you can vastly improve your Click Through Rate.
This allows you to control what you want to display in BlogRush. You can even write alternate – short and catchy title just for BlogRush.
You will have total control of what appears over the BlogRush Network.

Sounds interesting – is it ‘legal’?
Of course its legal. You are not doing any black hat thing using “BlogRush Click Maximizer” plugin.
You’ll actually help blogrush to show “on topic” ads as well as more interesting and shorter title.
Cool.
