Follow up on Blogrush

Oh snap, did we say we’d follow up the next day? Well, no one’s perfect.
Webd360 added in his comments that the conversion rate was pretty low for the Blog rush application. Something that doesn’t surprise many of us. After all, who has the incentive to provide a good link? Think about it, this isn’t SEO people, this is regular old marketing.
If you want people to click on the links in the Blogrush blog roll then you should
Summation
Not only is it a pyramid scheme in shape but also in design. Of course, it is free so it’s not like you’re loosing money by trying it but you are giving your free support away.
Sorry, did I mention that you’re probably contributing to some blackhat SEO? Save the link that you’re clicking on and then click on the actual link, notice a difference? Me too.

The Blog Rush - Not the Gold Rush
Posted on September 18th, 2007 by reviewer.

Skeptic at best, that’s the preface. Blogrush promises to increase blog traffic exponentially (sort of) by getting bloggers to add a widget to their blog that carries five other blog’s headlines.
How it works
If upforreview.com were to put the widget in the sidebar then five other blogs, in the same category as upforreview.com would have headlines running in the side bar (kind of like feed burner). The blogs that show up have “blog credit”.
Blog Credit
Blog credit is basically how may impressions or pageloads the widget has a day. So upforreview.com probably has a gazillion pageviews a day but we’ll say it has 30 just for simplicity. Each time the page is loaded upforreview would gain credit to be shown in another sidebar at least that many times. So 30 pageloads a day = upforreview showing up on up to 30 other blogs a day. Get it?
Maybe not, you can always watch the video:
So basically it’s an online pyramid scheme
Not much to add on to that… Let it sink in. We’ll follow up tomorrow.

Back to School - A College Student’s Guide
Posted on September 5th, 2007 by reviewer.
Categories: Home.
Delicious pointed the way to a back to school guide meant to be realistic in the type of gear college students should bring. While the guide is, overall, great; a few subtractions and additions would make things cheaper and help starving college students save some money (more…)
