Drive Traffic & Syndicate your blog FREE with Blogrush!

I just stumbled across a great FREE blog syndication tool called BlogRush.

Here is the link: BlogRush

This is basically a free widget that blasts your blog all across the blogosphere to people that are already reading blogs in your category. As you post blogs you get credits that will allow your posts to be seen.

Blog Rush

I am very interested to see how this works out! If anyone is familiar with this program please let me know how it is working out. Here is a link to BlogRush if you want to find out more. There is a very detailed video that is on the website that explains the program. Basically, we can all help each other drive traffic to our blogs!

********************************UPDATE 9/19/07***************************************

After one day, BlogRush has given me 122 impressions on my blog through their widget. Now I need to work on my click through rate! See the stats below:

Rey I have used a different one that is just my blogs and even though I don't actually have it on my blog it is indexing them and I have had traffic to my site from it. I will have to see what I can do with this one since it is a little different. BTW I had a hit on my site today for Five Star Mortgage in NM.

I think the key is that it is free. I had 152 impressions in 24 hours strictly from blogrush. It was very easy to set up.

I will try it because it is free, but like you, I am interested in success stories also.

OK, not knowing anything about this, or any other SEO tool, how much extra spam do you get????? Sorry if that isn't the right question, but it is always my first thought with the Internet :) :)

09/25/2007 10:11 AM

by Kathy McGraw ~ Calif Broker (CELLing Realty)

Kathy, I have not seen any extra spam but I have noticed more activity from non-members on my blog. There is no additional contact information that is given out. The nice thing is that your blog post are only shown on like blogs. So your blog post "Selling your home" won't pop up on a blog that is about computer networking. I am happy with it so far.

by Rey Gallegos Home Loan Consultant Las Vegas, NV (A Mortgage Bank)

thanks Rey.....I will have to try this, or something like it.

by Kathy McGraw ~ Calif Broker (CELLing Realty)

It is under reporting. The BlogRush dashboard tells me I've had two clicks but Google Analytics tells me I've had 5 clicks on one blog.
