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

  • A. Put it high up on the sidebar not near the bottom like we see all over the place
  • B. People buy ad space so all the people that are on the sidebar aren’t contributing links, oh and btw the paid link will always be the top link. (just a guess actually)So even if someone does want to click on a link in the box it probably won’t be yours.
  • Can you spoof impressions? We haven’t tried but it seems that spoofing impressions would be easily accomplished by creating custom packets and using a packet sniffer on what the blogrush widget is actually doing
  • 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.
