Hey everyone, I was wondering whether or not to place this blog rush widget on my blog, and I also wondered if it would actually get me traffic.

I've not heard anything good about blog rush. Seems you use up alot of realestate on your page to get less than .1% click through David's last blog post..Thrifty Car Rentals Hard To Find, No Wonder Keyword Is In Demand

@ pkenjora – You are right also the CTR is damn low in this system which is the reason iam not running it on this site except the homepage section.

I’ve used BlogRush and I think its a great concept. However I’m not convinved the blog matching algorithm is sound. The whole point of the site is to improve user experience (not simply create links). It frustrates me to see so many widgets miss that point.

Recently I switched over to Arkayne. The widget is simpler and it can be blended in perefectly with my blog Also I think their algorithm is much better. The links at the bottom of my blogs are way more relevant. Check it out if you have a chance, I’d love to see this widget more:

Not sure. I am a little skeptical unless it is up to date and also live. It would make my site look bad with their app is under construction all the time…

After seeing everyone talking about the traffic increase I decided to move the widget from the bottom of the sidebar to the top.

@ Ravish – Everyone would like to use a better widget if it can provide real visitors, try out if you can

but did john really think about the smaller guys that just started blogging and are in need of some traffic? it seems to be the algorithm is meant for the bigger bloggers and authors

As I’ve heard from early users… they are getting no traffic! You are not even going to get any from BlogRush.

The reason? Bloggers will place the widget at bottom of there sidebar where no one is going to click. So how do you get visitors transition when nobody is clicking?

I came up with a similar idea few months back. Will you guys want to use a better widget which can actually provide you real traffic?
