I Quit BlogRush, It is a Joke
All I can say to BlogRush is: Prove me wrong!
I’m sick of keeping your widget on my site. I earn plenty of credits and have 3 total visitors over how long? Like 2 months. I quit!
You no longer get to take up space on my website. One day if you can prove your worth I will test you out again. Until then … Adios sucka!

Hi Brian,
I took the widget down few weeks ago as they started to implement “SHOCKING” changes…. I am just immune to everything that has to do with marketing and is “SHOCKING”

I am planning to do the same!!
I’ve also removed the widget from my sidebar, partly because it just didn’t look right to my eyes, and it wasn’t really delivering much either. I haven’t ruled Blogrush out completely for the future, but it’s gone for now.
I hear ya… mine’s going as well since I’m working on edits today. Sayonara!
They say, “New rules. You have to stick it on top.” Well, does it deserve a spot on the top? Since I will be hosting a prominent blog carnival on Tuesday, I got it out of my way also. Tired of the connection timeouts.
When they (John Reese) are kicking out 10,000 blogs this weekend, and everybody is leaving voluntarily. There might not be anything left, anyway.
Well, but I don’t say, that I won;t put it back, either. –John
I dumped blog rush a couple of weeks ago, it looks like it was simply a way of getting traffic to their site rather than ours.
I dumped them too. I had one on my established software development blog from the start of their program. But, when I wanted to add the widget to my new general topic blog, one of their ‘reviewers’ gave it a 2 second evaluation and rejected it. So I reject them.
QA Member: “This blog is not interesting to ME. So what if they have countless of readers and active commenters. REJECTED!”
QA Member: “Ooh, this blog is interesting (to ME). Not much update, but it is interesting. APPROVED!”
/sarcasm on
= Summary of our experiment to see how unbias their QA members are. As John Reese said, they “make mistakes”… mistakes of rejecting 8,000 quality blogs, and approving 100,000 useless blogs. (random numbers, mind you..)
/sarcasm off
BlogRush is good. They really have to improve their QA Members’ judgment.
Why do so many people have blogrush on their site? As far as my analysis goes (correct me if I’m wrong), the exchange ratio is 5:1. So for every 5 ads you show, your ad gets 1 exposure. Not a fair rate in my book.
Thanks for reminding me to drop my blogrash code too. The thing has delivered in a similar way for me. I am guilty of sitting on it too long. We all do this kind of thing too often, because we get distracted and work on other stuff.
Blogrash is not sending any visitors to me, and I have tons of credits. I have been here before. Why do I do this to myself?
[...] Happened upon a fellow blogger and affiliate marketer who dumped BlogRush. As you may remember, I gave them an ultimatum a couple weeks ago and never made good with removing them. They’re STILL launching their new reporting and it’s taken two weeks so far. I think I have to make good on that promise. Better late than never, right? [...]
