John Reese of BlogRush is introducing some significant changes in response to the negative feedback, and I see no reason to not give him the benefit of the doubt. I may give it another try and see how it goes. That’s great that it works for you, Peter.

I'm very new to the whole marketing game, and even newer to blogging - but while I don't feel my content is crap I do know that I am still cutting my teeth with blogging and have a lot to learn in regards to it. That being said and my blog being pretty new to the world and perhaps nothing special to anyone but myself, my traffic numbers have increased significantly since I started using BlogRush. Granted, I was only ever getting traffic in the double figures per day anyway, but some days my traffic has more than doubled what it was before I put the BR widget on, and that's exciting for this blogging neophyte. I understand for you seasoned professionals it might not be worth it and it might even hurt your blogs - but for some of us little guys who only have a handful of subscribers, it might actually help out in the beginning. I can't speak for anyone else, of course, I can only go by my own results - and they are saying to keep using BlogRush, at least for the immediate future, and see how the improvements go.

I'm sick of being served up sugar candy when I want something to get my teeth into. By it's very nature, being a multi level thing, blog rush was only ever going to benefit John Reese and a few others at the very top of the pile! And as you say, it was never going to benefit the readers... Right on the money, especially about the ‘bloggers’ that couldn’t be bothered about good content.
