The Blog Rush - Not the Gold Rush
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.
I am also kind of skeptical, but I just tried it out to see how it goes. Another thing I am not sure about is whether the impressions will actually convert because many might just ignore it. I’m going to be writing a review of it later, as I see some results (or as I see a lack of results).
By the way, thanks for the link
[…] snap, did we say we’d follow up the next day? Well, no one’s […]
