BlogRush is now removed

I tested BlogRush for a few months now and its not delivered to my expectations so now i’m removing, you no longer see it. I would receive around 1 visitor every 2 weeks which makes me think whats the point in having it on your blog? Along with not delivering traffic it slows down the site and eats resources so thats a bonus of removing it. Will i ever return to it? Probably not unless they do...

UK goes crazy for Petrol!

I was on my way home from work on Friday and i saw ques of traffic at every petrol station i past, i wondered what the heck was going on. Petrol prices are always on the up here in the UK, priced at around £1.08 per litre (roughly $2.05). When i started driving it was only £0.71. Anyway, after watching the news and reading some online articles it seems that the Grangemouth oil refinery in Scotland has...

No need to worry about indexing anymore

Everytime i made a new blog post i used to check in Google and other search engines to see if it’s been indexed. Not anymore. I hardly every check now because Google is probably guaranteed to index a blog post within one hour. If it doesn’t then it’s usually when it next crawls your site. This is good because if you want to get some traffic quickly and have some good news to post you can...

I’m going to get rid of BlogRush next week

I gave BlogRush a try when i started this blog to hopefully drive some traffic my way. I haven’t been happy with it at all and doesn’t really drive any traffic, maybe something like 3 visitors per month which is pathetic. I’m going to remove the widget next week and stick to organic traffic. Also it may speed up the sites load times a little so thats another advantage of removing...

Well, the ‘do not click here’ thing didn’t work!

I wanted to see if i could get the best out of BlogRush by using a catchy title in the hope that someone clicks my link and traffic heading my way. Well i can tell you now that it didn’t work! Not even 1 person clicked the link! Should i get rid of BlogRush? I think i will just carry on as normal for now and put more content into my blog because most of my traffic now is coming from search engines,...

Do Not Click This Link!

You are probably reading this because you clicked the link in the BlogRush widget on another blog. I’m doing this to test how many people actually click it, and if it can draw some traffic. You can see that i’ve not had much traffic from BlogRush by looking here and here. If you reached this post because you clicked the link, post a comment saying you did so. Thanks! p.s. For the regular...

BlogRush results after a month

I promised to post my thought on BlogRush after a month of using it. I have received some referrals from BlogRush but not as many as i hoped. I will continue to use it because over the past month i’ve seen some of my blog entries have more and more readers by someone clicking my link from another persons blog thats also using BlogRush. I only seem to get 1 reader for some of my entries. I’m...
