Increase traffic to your blog for Free
Just recently Jeremy Schoemaker of Shoemoney reported a new site which acts as a blog syndication network. This new network is called Blog Rush and it seems to be a great potential way to send relevant traffic to your blog for free. It is very easy to create an account with only needs just a couple pieces of information.
- URL
- RSS Feed URL
Once you sign up it will ask you to apply a piece of java script to your site. This java script is a widget which appears on your page and scans the content of your web page. It will then try to match the content with other relevant blog articles recently submitted on other blogs.
Once everything is setup and ready to go, you will start receiving traffic to your blog! The big question is well how does this work? What Blog Rush does is track how many unique visitors your blog has per day. Let’s say for this example it’s 1500. The system will then showcase your recent posts on other blogs which have the system setup 1500 times.
Blog Rush also adds referrals into the mix by allows you to reap the benefits of having someone setup a blog Rush account which you referred. So let’s say your buddy Todd saw the Blog Rush widget on your blog and decided to click the “Add your posts – for Free” button. You will now not only receive traffic from your unique visitors but also Todd’s.
I think this could definitely be a great possible way to bring in free qualified traffic to your blog. Since the widget is in java script the text links will not be seen by the search engines (Google should then give their blessing). The only question that I have at this point is how well Blog Rush is going to catch on within the blogging community. The success of Blog Rush depends mainly on many bloggers incorporating the widget into their blog. It will definitely be interesting to see how the plays out.
