Still on testing mode myself. This second day of testing, it doesn’t seem to be working as advertised.

And their video introduction actually gives me more doubt than entice me.. but, just a few more days… we’ll see if it really works.

But just like you, it is not something I will keep even if it works.

Tamar, yeah that’s a big question mark. That’s like saying: we don’t endorse the use of RSS-based widgets on blogs. Feed advertising is nothing new, even if BlogRush has unique way of doing it. And they seem to be down at the moment, too.

No worries, Michael. Guess there is more concern about BlogRush than I thought.

BTW, you might want to check this response from a Google AdSense Rep. Perhaps there is concern on Google’s end too, but I don’t understand why.

Wow! Nice Pic. I like it. BlogRush won’t violate Google AdSense terms of service as per my knowledge.Yes, I agree that BlogRush isn’t a traffic exchange program.

Sorry to disappoint, Tamar, but this isn’t in referrence to your post or anyone else’s post in particular. I’m afraid I didn’t read your post.

I assume you’re referring to a post I wrote today. I’m not sure why anyone would have any concerns about AdSense TOS since it’s a tool like StumbleUpon and people can choose to click on the headlines that interest them. That’s it. Is it asking them to click on ads? Definitely not. So yes, there appears to be no concern with AdSense, and I really have no idea why people thought so. However, we do report on forum discussion, and that was what came up

Ladynada, if you’re in the spirituality niche, then that’s great for you, because there are tons of blogs about that (as I’m sure you know). Begin a little email campaign asking people to sign up for it using your referral link and be at the top of the pyramid for your niche!

I just got my first four referrals and they also say widget.blogrush.

I am willing to wait a month. I am in the religion/spirituality niche, so that makes it even tougher!

Thanks, I’m particularly pleased with myself for the picture. I looked at my stats today and they are indeed shown as coming from BlogRush, and not from the original referrer site. The referrer URL is widget.blogrush.com. I got four hits. I’ll give it a month.

Great pic, but it still can’t lure me to BlogRush
I want the first bloggers to tell me how many visitors they got through the service (and how many they lost). Then I will rethink my decision.
