@Josh

I BlogRush has good potential. I think BumpZee could have gone that direction if it was possible to show entries only for your own communities. But BumpZee is a different type of community.

What goo thing about BlogRush is that headlines from our blog have a chance to appear on let say Andy’s blog or Shomoney- these blogs have much higher clickthrgouh.

I think I ma just gong give it a tray for a month or two and then decide if I want to keep it on my blog.

I feel the same way Vlad. I don’t think it’s going to amount to much traffic and it’s just another thing in the sidebar taking up space. I do however think that blogs with a huge reader base like Andy and that guy with a last name that rhymes with cow. The reason i saw that is because they have the ability of getting loads of referrals and those referrals generate credits for them.

Blogs like yours and mine that get good traffic but nothing AMAZING, will probably get some traffic from it, but like you said, nothing that’s going to overload our servers.

Blogs that get very low traffic I would guess will get little to no traffic from blogrush.

It is free though, and like you said, it’s worth a try. The only thing it will cost you is real estate on your blog.

Valentin,

Although I was skeptical about joining but I am getting some traffic already. I am no Shoemoney or Andy Beard but I think an average blogger can have some share in traffic.

Maybe will bring some traffic, maybe will work, maybe is not against adsense TOS, maybe … Two yet are sure : 1- is a mlm scheme, is vertical scheme, while anything else (marketing, communication, spreading informations, teaching-learning, whatever) is or should be horizontal. 2- is getting a huge amount of linkbacks to blogrush. After all, this is what any widget-badge do, isn`t it ?

I tried BlogExplosion before and I agree that they can drive traffic to your blog. But, it would be against AdSense TOS to use it because it’s obviously a 3rd party traffic exchange program.
But, with BlogRush, you get traffic only if people click on the title of your blog post thru the widget.
I have installed it on my sidebar though I doubt it will make me any money. I would give it more time and let you know if it’s making me any money
