BlogRush - Free Traffic for your Blog?

BlogRush - the latest venture from John Reese, looks set to be a huge success in the Internet marketing arena. If you haven't taken a look at BlogRush yet, wander over to BlogRush and watch the demo movie - it's one of the most professionally made intros I've seen in a while and explains everything in a very clear way.

Basically, BlogRush is a service which promotes blog posts across a network of member sites. To become a member you only need to submit your blog and RSS feed, and choose a category. Once you've completed the sign-up process, you get a snippet of code to add to your blog. Once you've added the code to your blog, you'll see a nifty little box appear (which does look very cool) containing five posts from other related blogs.

Of course the question we're all asking is how do we get our blog posts appearing on other blogs? Easy, you just need a few visitors. Every time someone visits your blog and the BlogRush gadget is displayed, you get a credit in the BlogRush system, which means a link to your blog will be displayed on another related blog somewhere else in the system.

Seems fair, doesn't it? But even better than that, if people click on the BlogRush gadget on your site, and they then go on to sign up for the service, you receive credits for people viewing their blogs, in addition to your own. The video at BlogRush shows clearly how this works down to 10 levels of referral.

I have to admit, I wish I'd thought of this. It's an ingenious way of promoting your blog for free, and you can tell by the way it's been done that a lot of thought has been put into it. All credit to John Reese and his gang for this one. I expect to see BlogRush gadgets popping up all over the place, get yours now.
