The BlogRush system is now working so members can see their stats and try to make some sense of what's going on. Here's what my dashboard looks like:
This shows how many credits I've earned from impressions of the widget on my blogs.
The number of bloggers in my network and how many traffic credits I've earned from my own blog and from those in my network.
The BlogRush reports could use a little more explanation. I'm kind of dense when it comes to this stuff.
The key with BlogRush is writing great blog post titles. You only have a few words the capture the attention of the person who is reading someone else's blog and convince them to click on the link for your blog post.
But then what? How do you get them to dive further into your blog? Hint: It's all about great content and linking to other posts on your blog. There's an excellent post about mistakes you can avoid with BlogRush.



A key aspect to a successful blog besides a great headline is quality advertisement. Mochila is free and helps your blog considerably. Here is a link if anyone is interested.

Hi Patsi/Denise,
I don't normally like to post links in comments, but thought your readers might be interested in a fun "click-thru rate challenge" we're having. If we don't provide you with a better click-through rate than BlogRush, we'll paypal you $10.
We've been working on some fun software that is already beating BlogRush on click-through stats (by a lot). I'd like to take advantage of this meme, put some money on the table, earn some valuable feedback, and have some fun.
Details on our blog at http://blog.othersonline.com/2007/09/the-others-onli.html. Let the games begin?

I recently developed a free wordpress plugin called "BlogRush Click Maximizer". By using it you can vastly improve your Click Through Rate.
This allows you to control what you want to display in BlogRush. You can even write alternate - short and catchy title just for BlogRush.
You will have total control of what appears over the BlogRush Network.
