"Blogrush! Why bother?" 16.9.07
Many of you will know about this by now as it's plastered all over the net, and yes it's on here too and I DO think if you have yet to add it to your blog you should.
You can grab yours at blogrush. You want to add the code to your blog as soon as you can and for a good reason too.
So why ask why bother?
If this turns out to work as well as hoped it will be the mother of all the widgets, ;o) but also the chances of it being a success are made better because of the creator, John Reese.
If you know of John you know he knows traffic, how to get it and make the most of it.
There lies the reason you want this up as soon as possible, the fact is due to the big launch there is going to be tons of data that John and his team will utilise...so improving this as it grows.
More importantly you can get a better idea of what it does for your blog now, and as it improves you learn things from the info you saved.
Make no mistake John's own sites will have had MASSIVE traffic lately and THAT info is worth a huge amount, John knows what to do to make the most of it and YOU benefit from that.
I do think it will be a success and even if it's not I KNOW I will gain good information from it.
Knowing now what it does with your blog and what shows up now will mean you can take notes on what to filter as soon as able to, this then becomes the basis for your future testing as it improves from the admins tweaks.
You can then just keep improving what links you do want on your blog by way of blocking what you don't like, and filtering words you don't want.
That's why I got it now.
But also you will notice I am not promoting this elsewhere, just going to keep on blogging as normal, so I get a real idea of what it has done in the normal scheme of things. ;o)
Then I can test and tweak with better accuracy.
If you have a blog, grab your blogrush widget like you see on my sidebar here add it, see what you can learn from it over the next few weeks, if it works great, if not they will soon start getting removed. ;o)
