The Latest Rage: Blogrush

I received an e-mail from Yaro Starak from Blog Mastermind the other day about the new Blogrush widget. The widget itself is from Internet marketing mega-star, John Reese. This widget all by itself will increase web site traffic.

I was apprehensive at first thinking I would be taken to a page asking me to fork out some big dollars for it! I was pleasantly surprised when I realized that it is free, at least for now. The idea that a simple widget can boost traffic sounds great to me! Anything I can do to boost traffic without extra work will always be cool in my book.

Look in my sidebar and you can see the new Blogrush widget. It looks nice and if this thing can boost my traffic I will be a happy camper. I invited some people already and at least one I know of has joined. That is my good friend Rolando from R Playground (thanks Rolando, and thanks Morgan)!

If you would like to join in on this thing while it is BRAND NEW and hasn’t yet saturated the blogosphere, now is the time to act! Don’t wait for three weeks and then decide, do it now. If you do join, write a post also, like this one. To join in on this latest rage and increase web site traffic:

You could also get it from Rolando or Morgan! Anyone who joins within our group will get a nice link to both your site and blogrush post!

    Woot! Signed up the second you sent me the invite! It’s easy as pie! Thanks for the hook up!

  2. Revellian on September 16th, 2007 5:18 pm

    Rolando: Now is the time to work this thing! Again, thank you Rolando!!!!!

  3. Random Magus on September 16th, 2007 7:50 pm

    Hey Bobby this is your technologically challenged friend dropping by to say hello.
    By the way i tried to visit Rolando’s blog yesterday and today, after his visit to my blog but got this message
    Unable to contact the Server. Are outbound connections disabled? (If a proxy is required for outbound traffic, you may configure the honey pot to use a proxy. For instructions, visit http://www.projecthoneypot.org/settings_help.php)

  4. Revellian on September 16th, 2007 7:51 pm

    Random Magus: Hi Amber, try again to connect. Sometimes things like this happen. I will let Rolando know that you received this message!

  5. WaterLearner on September 16th, 2007 8:09 pm

    Hey Bobby!

    I will try t sign up. Anything introduced by you must be good!!

    Blessings!

  6. Revellian on September 16th, 2007 8:10 pm

    WaterLearner: Thanks Karen! Wow, you put a smile on my face, that’s for sure! Thanks for having confidence in me, I wouldn’t recommend anything I am not sure of! :smile:

  7. Rolando on September 16th, 2007 8:53 pm

    I random, thanks for letting now about the access issue. I looked at Honey Pot’s script but I am not sure what my proxy host and port are.

    I’ll have to contact my web host and find out.

    Thanks!

  8. Janice on September 16th, 2007 9:39 pm

    Bobby, thanks for the piece of info. I’ve signed up. Glad that its an easy one :)
    Janice Ng

  9. Rolando on September 16th, 2007 10:00 pm

    Well Random, I found some information on the web, but not a whole lot. I updated a file per Honey Pot’s instructions, but not sure if it is correction.

    When you get a chance come on by again and see if you get the same error message.

  10. Revellian on September 16th, 2007 10:18 pm

    Janice: Good! It is easy. The more people you get to signup under you the better. When you join they give you an affiliate link url. This is what you want people to click to sign up under you! :smile:

  11. WaterLearner on September 16th, 2007 11:19 pm

    Yup Yup .. Bobby.. I was only stating the truth. What you recommend, I would follow for sure. FYI, my widget is also up on my WL site already.

    Have a Good Day Bobby! :lol:

  12. Revellian on September 16th, 2007 11:30 pm

    WaterLearner: Thank you Karen! I’ll come see :smile:

  13. Beaman on September 17th, 2007 4:29 am

    I signed up. Thanks for the tip. It doesn’t seem to be accepting the fact that I’ve added the widget to my blog yet but probably just a temporary tech problem.

  14. Revellian on September 17th, 2007 5:22 am

    Beaman: Thanks! I do not believe the makers of the widget expected the success they have gained. They knew it would be big, but perhaps 100 times the response is much bigger than they could possibly anticipated! I’ll use it for now and see how it affects things. Here in a few weeks, every blog will have one :smile:

  15. jesse on September 17th, 2007 5:58 am

    Hello Bobby, I also joined up with Blogrush! Rolando sent me an invite and I have put the widget in, I must still do a post about it, I am a bit behind with everything as over the weekend my isp was basically offline most of the time.I missed all my friends,like you and Rolando and the Girls…but at least I have a whole bunch of cool posts to catch up with!!
    Thanks as well for your great comment on my post regarding Chad Mueller.
    Happy day and a happy week ahead for you, Bobby! Dont eat too many yummy pizza’s…least of all without sharing :)

  16. Revellian on September 17th, 2007 6:00 am

    Jesse: Thanks! Wow, I wish you had a better ISP! I am lucky to have a really good one here and rarely ever have any problems. I of course will share my pizza with you :smile:

  17. NAFA on September 17th, 2007 9:35 am

    Hi Bobby…

    U are so resourceful. Thanks for this piece of info! It’s so amazing to know how a simple widget can make a difference to your traffic.

    And it is surely smart of u to find ways to increase traffic while sipping a cup of coffee. :grin:

  18. Revellian on September 17th, 2007 9:36 am

    Nafa: We will see! I’ll be watching my traffic closely. The way I see it, if people don’t use the widget to look at sites, it won’t do anything :smile:

  19. Seiche on September 17th, 2007 10:49 am

    Hey Bobby. Normally I try to keep my widgets down to the bare minimum, but this one looks real interesting. I’ve gone ahead and placed the widget on my blog, but nothing of note as of yet. I also received an email stating that the creators did not expect the ‘explosive growth’ (does everyone use that buzzword phrase?) they received and the site is really bogged down.

    My thinking here is more towards finding some new people to read more than promoting myself. Like you always say, it’s about community, right?

  20. Revellian on September 17th, 2007 10:51 am

    Seiche:I’ll wait and see! I will tell you this: If I don’t get a noticeable increase in traffic within 1 month, I will be the first one to remove the widget and write a article about how it sucks, ha ha ha. I am about to write a nasty article about E-zine.org for publishing a bunch of lies in a post. They have ignored my e-mails for 18 days, and I will not hold back :smile:

  21. Mariuca on September 17th, 2007 12:23 pm

    Hola Bobby! I’ve joined and put up widgets on both my blogs. Now, am waiting for the rush of excitement heading my way! ;

  22. Revellian on September 17th, 2007 12:24 pm

    Mariuca: Let us hope! I believe it is the most successful widget launch in history. Every site I see already has one :smile:

  23. Rolando on September 17th, 2007 12:51 pm

    It works! If you go to my site right now you will see a link to Jesse’s site and the post that it pulled in is ‘Monday-funday’ under Jesse Blogs It All. Woot.

    I’d do a write up on it later and provide a screen shot.

  24. Revellian on September 17th, 2007 1:43 pm

    Rolando: Good! I’ll come see :smile:

  25. Janice on September 17th, 2007 9:19 pm

    Bobby, I din get to see the affiliate link url when I join. How to retrieve it back huh? :)
    Janice Ng

  26. Revellian on September 17th, 2007 9:38 pm

    Janice: When you sign in to your account it is right there at the top of the page after you click “get code”. I don’t know if they call it an affiliate link but that’s what it is. I think the site is down right now, when it comes back up check it out. :smile:

  27. Mariuca on September 18th, 2007 1:03 am

    Really? Then I’m glad I joined you and the rest! Hope ur having a pleasant night! :)

  28. Revellian on September 18th, 2007 1:19 am

    Mariuca: My night is always pleasant when you come to visit :smile:

  29. Markk on September 18th, 2007 6:03 am

    Since installing the BR widget three days ago, it seems to be working. Once John Reese bring it up to speed, it may an awesome traffic generator. I noticed my RSS feed has more readers. I’ve got an idea how this thing can be optimize. I’ll be writing about it soon. Keep trekking!

  30. Revellian on September 18th, 2007 2:58 pm

    Markk: Yes, I know they didn’t expect everyone to have the thing the first day! I’ll be looking forward to any cool optimization tips! Thanks :smile:

  31. Polliwog on September 18th, 2007 5:56 pm

    Bobby my friend, I’ve given you a most deserved blog award for bloggers that are going places in a hurry! Come pick it up here:http://www.polliwogspond.com/2007/09/18/breakin-out/You are an inspiration to us all and I hope you have everything you want in your future. Keep up the amazing work you do!

  32. Revellian on September 18th, 2007 6:05 pm

    Polliwog: Wow! Thanks Polli!!!!! I’m on my way :smile:

  33. WaterLearner on September 18th, 2007 7:39 pm

    Hi Bobby!

    It must be your great personality and powerful conversational style of commenting! I am so impressed that your good site seem to be able to attract comments so sincere so effortlessly!

    I believe great blogs not only have great contents like yours but are anchored in sincerity!

    Hope your headache is better dude!!

  34. Revellian on September 18th, 2007 7:59 pm

    WaterLearner: Hi Karen, it’s nice to hear from you as always! Sincerity is what I like the most about you and your blog! I do not have a headache today and am feeling great. Thanks Karen :smile:

  35. Janice on September 18th, 2007 9:48 pm

    Bobby, thanks :) I read that you are having a headache? Hope you are getting better?
    Jean is having a bad migraine too.

    Do you know how to treat that? :)
    Janice Ng

  36. Revellian on September 18th, 2007 11:48 pm

    Janice: I don’t think my headache qualifies as a migraine. I took 2 plain aspirin and took a nap! (I chew my aspirin because I like the way they taste. . .yummy), ha ha ha :smile:

  37. Janice on September 19th, 2007 1:48 am

    Its good to hear that patient is treating their medicine as candy & just enjoys it. But don’t get addicted ok? :)
    Janice Ng

  38. Revellian on September 19th, 2007 3:05 am

    Janice: I don’t like the taste that much ha ha ha! I once chewed up a penicillin tablet, yeeeech! Talk about nasty! :smile:

  39. Jason on September 19th, 2007 7:52 pm

    Seems like people are getting lots of credits, but not lots of visits. Is that what you are finding Bobby?

  40. Revellian on September 19th, 2007 7:53 pm

    Jason: Yes. I’m not so sure how beneficial this thing will actually be. It seems like another control tool for the bigger blogs to keep the majority on the bottom. The truth is, most people will have this thing on their site but will never actually click on it. If it doesn’t help me, I will remove it :smile:

  41. kamy on September 22nd, 2007 9:03 am

    Blogrush pulled a thing of beauty with this viral marketing… Too bad it doesn’t work.

  42. Revellian on September 22nd, 2007 9:10 am

    Kamy: Hi Kamy, yeah, I think I’m starting to think the same thing. The marketing plan is freaking incredible. I just haven’t seen a single bit of traffic and I have at least 50 people signed up under me. :smile:

  43. emila on September 23rd, 2007 7:23 pm

    Hola Bobby! I’ve got this up too, was recommended by Joezul. Do I need to put up a post about Blogrush in my blog? :smile:

  44. Revellian on September 23rd, 2007 7:42 pm

    Emila: That is up to you. In your blogrush account, they give you your affiliate link url. If you write a post use anchor text like “join up here” and link that text with your affiliate url. Then of course in your BRush account you can invite others you know don’t have it yet to join under you.

    So far, it hasn’t done a thing for me so we’ll have to wait and see. I just don’t like advertising a bunch of sites I have never heard of, which it seems, is all I have seen listed in the widget. It can’t hurt to have it, but how much it’ll help remains to be seen! :smile:
