BlogRush - un experimento | Actualización 1

En vez de repasarle o de introducir a BlogRush (para eso que usted puede comprobar hacia fuera ProBlogger), voy a intentar algo un poco diferente. He firmado para arriba, agregado el código a mi sidebar (sin embargo obviamente no dándole el `' colocación ideal) y voy a dejarla para arriba para una semana. Entonces divulgaré el sábado próximo trasero en cuánto (si cualquiera) el tráfico que ha conducido. Como otros, soy un pedacito escéptico - pero veremos. Primera actualización después del corte -

Actualización 1: Como he mencionado, divulgaré detrás sobre mis resultados con BlogRush - y mi carpeta de correo del Spam encontró hoy este pequeño número, diciendo básicamente que han ampliado demasiado rápido y están intentando coger para arriba. También una nota a los encima de quienes han firmado - si usted funcionó la escritura dos veces en la misma página, parada. Vea la sección “7. Noté que un Blog utilizaba dos Widgets en la misma página, es éste permitido?” - porque la respuesta corta es no.

Hi,

Le estoy enviando este mensaje urgente para darle las noticias especiales “actualización” sobre varias cosas que suceden con BlogRush.

En primer lugar, deseo agradecerle sinceramente por ensamblar BlogRush y por su interés en nuestro servicio. Sepa por favor que nuestro foco primario es mejorar continuamente el servicio para ayudarle a generar más tráfico apuntado.

Las primeras 60 horas desde que lanzamos el beta público de BlogRush no ha sido nada brevemente del EXPLOSIVO. Sabíamos que desarrollábamos una herramienta emocionante de la cual muchos bloggers podrían beneficiar, pero no teníamos ninguna idea cómo rápidamente la palabra del `' se separaría a través del Web.

Con este explosivo el crecimiento ha venido algunos desafíos, y nuestro equipo entero está trabajando muy difícilmente para solucionar cualquier insecto potencial y para publicar que nos han alertado a. Estamos mejorando cosas en un paso muy rápido y esperamos hacer la red entera estabilizar totalmente muy pronto.

Quisiera preguntar que usted sea paciente con nosotros durante este tiempo y saber que estamos haciendo nuestro mejor para ayudarle a conducir más tráfico a su blog y pronto tendremos cosas el funcionar suavemente.

Quisiera tratar algunas de las preguntas y de las preocupaciones que hemos recibido:

1. “Cuando mi estadística del tablero de instrumentos estará disponible?”

We encountered some minor issues with the batch processing of our first cycle of member statistics (it’s a lot of data to crunch) and we just about have it fixed. We hope to have your statistics up and running very soon as we know they are very important to you. We just need a little bit more time. Please know that we’re working as fast as we can and the moment we can start displaying them you will see them. (Thanks in advance for your patience.)

2. “I Don’t Understand The Syndication Credit System Formula”

In our video we mentioned that you earn a 1:1 ratio of syndication credits on your own traffic, and any direct referral’s traffic (such as “Bob” in the example video) and any direct referral’s referral traffic (yes, that sounds confusing!) such as “Jen” in our example. We also mentioned that you’d also earn credits based on activity through 10 generation levels. Here’s the breakdown of our formula:

Your Traffic = 1:1 1st Generation Of Referrals (Directly From You) = 1:1 2nd Generation Of Referrals (i.e. Jen in the video) = 1:1 3rd - 6th Generation Of Referrals = 1:4 7th - 10th Generation Of Referrals = 1:8

1:1 means you earn 1 syndication credit for every 1 impression of the widget by your own traffic or by any users located on the 1st (direct) or 2nd generations. 1:4 means you earn 1 syndication credit for every 4 impressions of the widget by any user located on the 3rd to 6th generations. 1:8 means you earn 1 syndication credit for every 8 impressions of the widget by any user located on the 7th to 10th generations.

When all of this math is added up, it leaves 1 headline space available out of every 10 that are served. This means that BlogRush uses 10% of the headline spots (5 headlines in each widget load) to monetize the service. We currently have plans to sell these extra credits to any user that would like to purchase additional credits — this is one of the ways we will pay for the service.

3. “What happened To The FAQ?”

We were trying to wait until we received more feedback from our users (actual questions). We’ll be posting the FAQ very soon - many of the biggest concerns are being addressed in this message.

4. “I Didn’t See Any Help Section Tutorials”

It took us longer than expected to have the tutorials ready. You can view them now and see step-by-step how to install the BlogRush code on the following: WordPress, MovableType, TypePad, Blogger. They are available in the “Help” section that is accessible from the “Help” link at the bottom of our web site when not logged in, or the “Help” tab when you’re logged in.

5. “I Keep Seeing The Same Blogs Appear In The Widget”

While we’ve been busy optimizing our network, we were using some public RSS feeds to balance out activity so no widget would have any empty space. This will soon be completely replaced with our member feeds full-time; our member feeds were only being distributed part of the time as we were optimizing things.

6. “Some Of The Blog Titles I’ve Seen In The Widget Don’t Appear Relevant”

This will continue to improve as we work to optimize the network.

7. “I Noticed A Blog Was Using Two Widgets On The Same Page, Is This Allowed?”

No. You can only have ONE widget per page. If you made a blog post about BlogRush and used the widget inside that post as an example, you will need to immediately remove it and replace it with a static screenshot of the widget. If it is not removed, we will have no choice but to terminate any account that fails to do so.

8. “How Will BlogRush Stop People From Abusing The Network?”

We are putting many things in place (in addition to what we already have.) We are also in the process of activating a full “Review” process for all member blogs; using some automation and HUMAN REVIEW. Please know that BlogRush will do everything necessary to stop all fraud and abuse of our system. We have no choice but to protect the integrity of our network.

BONUS CREDITS ON THE WAY!

We have decided to take our entire surplus of syndication credits and give them to YOU the user. We will be randomly distributing all extra credits amongst our entire network for awhile to reward our early adopters.

Many of you have asked for a copy of our video to post on your own blog. We are working on this and hope to have it for you — it will be a version without the “click on the button below” ending since it will be on your blog.

A sincere THANK YOU for your support of BlogRush and for your patience and understanding. Please know that we are in this for the LONG-TERM and this isn’t just some FAD for generating a short burst of traffic. We will be continuously improving BlogRush for a very long time to come.

Best Regards,

John Reese
