Don’t Throw BlogRush Out Yet…

Remember that BlogRush hype about a week ago? (Learn More) Well, right after it’s launch, practically everyone in the blogosphere signed up for BlogRush hoping to get tons of visitors through it. Needless to day, BlogRush didn’t live up to the expectations that everyone had.

This is due mostly to spammers, too broad of categories, and only one widget.

BlogRush Issue #1 - Spam Blogs
In the web world, people still have the disillusioned idea that you can make money from a web site that tells you nothing, but has a lot of AdSense Ads. These web sites hoped to get on the BlogRush bandwagon and put the widget on their web site. Thus, honest blogs were having their links show up there, and wouldn’t ever get clicked on.
BlogRush is fixing that problem by using a manual submission process. Each new BlogRush member has their blog manually reviewed.

BlogRush Issue #2 - Straight Up Spammers
There are lots of dishonest people in the web world, and BlogRush users are no exception. There were people who designed bots to automatically load pages to earn points for their BlogRush account. And like the Spam Blogs issue, no one was looking at those pages, so all of us honest bloggers weren’t getting our links viewed.
BlogRush is fixing this issue by introducing security measures that are above my head - but they’re supposed to fix that problem.

BlogRush Issue #3 - Broad Categories
Argubly, the greatest issue BlogRush has delt with is their broad categories. Some blog’s posts simply weren’t related to the blogs they were being displayed on through the BlogRush widget - and thus, no click throughs.
BlogRush is fixing this third problem by introducing more specific categories.

BlogRush Issue #4 - Only One Widget
The final problem that BlogRush has is only one widget. (view it) BlogRush is taking care of this final issue by adding BlogRush Flavors. There will now be twelve different ‘flavors’ to the BlogRush widget (Check them out!) which should be versitile enough to fit with just about any blog color scheme.

So, don’t throw the baby out with the bath water and wait a little longer before casting your final verdict on BlogRush.
