BlogRush: Focus on the blog post title

I've been using BlogRush for about a week now.  The jury is still out for me, but I'm keeping my eye on it. I have 31 referrals, have had 9552 impressions and a whopping 12 clicks. Whoo hoo.

OK, with BlogRush it's all about your blog post title. It better be good or you won't get the clicks. The widget that goes on the sidebar isn't very wide so you don't have a lot of space to play with. I've been watching the post titles that come across and haven't seen too many that I want to click on. I'd say you have a max of about 7 words to get your compelling message across.

Here's a list of blog posts about writing headlines and blog post titles. Study them and apply to your blog. Then, let me know how your click-through rates are on BlogRush.

I don't know why, but blogrush just gives me the feeling of a banner exchange program from way back in the early days of internet.

The only difference is that blogrush uses the article titles instead of color banner.
