Adiós BlogRush

por Ross McKillop en 31 de octubre de 2007

Blogging

He estado esperando ellos para rodar hacia fuera “las características del ″ de la versión 2. Bien, finalmente tienen - tan ahora puedo caer el servicio. Aquí es por qué -

El Stats

De Sept. 16 hasta la fecha (31 Oct), el widget de BlogRush ha enviado a 156 personas a Simplehelp. Esas 156 personas hicieron un promedio de 1.41 opiniones de la página por visita (durante el mismo tiempo el promedio del sitio era 2.00 opiniones de la página por visita) y pasaron un promedio de 47 segundos en el sitio (contra el promedio del sitio de 1 minuto 52 segundos).

Todo ese Info llega a ser más significativo cuando revelo el sistema siguiente de números. “He ganado” 585.833 créditos - 560.456 exhibiendo el widget en Simplehelp (mi tráfico) 25.377 por las remisiones (mi red - que consiste en 9 miembros que firmaron para arriba vía mi acoplamiento de la remisión).

Todo el ése asciende a esto - a tecleo-por el índice de 0.026%. Mi (la mayoría del acertado) poste de BlogRush fue visto “muy lo más mejor posible” 32 veces - después de ser exhibido 82.424 veces. Y según BlogRush que tecleo-por tarifa es “caliente” (véase el screenshot abajo). Usted tiene que embromarme.

Le hice una oferta tan un BlogRush de despedida no enteramente encariñado, su widget grace mi sitio no más. Buena suerte en el futuro.

picosegundo. Espero que la gente @ BlogRush haya aprendido, por lo menos - no ruede hacia fuera algo hasta que es listo. Entiendo usted no esperaba que fuera tan popular tan rápidamente, pero eso es solamente válido para tan de largo. Las actualizaciones prometedoras dentro de cierto marco y en varias ocasiones de no entregar de tiempo no haga para el buen servicio de cliente.

nota relacionada: durante el tiempo he estado utilizando BlogRush, los sitios siguientes he enviado más trafique que BlogRush - images.google.co.uk, mail.google.com (de mi firma del email?), images.google.ca e incluso images.google.com .mx. Y eso no está incluyendo remisiones verdaderas del tráfico del `las' como el lifehacker, el howtogeek, ubuntuforums.org, webupon.com etc.

    I can beat that! How about 1 visit from 15,836 impressions?! It’s not worth the real estate it takes up.

    Like you, I’ve been waiting to see what they came up and, like you, it’s now time to say farewell. I shall be removing it from the 3 blogs I’ve been trying it out on.

    I have to say you guys hung in there a lot longer than I did as I dropped them weeks ago.

    I was surprised to find that passed their “rigorous site evaluation” even without their widget on my page.

    I can well understand why you are dropping Blogrush, though I would check your target category, and your real stats.

    I gain a real CTR of between 0.2 and 0.5% on “topical” stories, though some get none at all.

    There are plugins that allow you to have a special RSS feed for Blogrush, abd Blogrush allows you to specify RSS feed.

    With some testing you can probably get the CTR up to 1%

    @Andy Beard:

    My target category is the closest one to the actual content provided on my site, though I did read that additional sub-categories will be added ’soon’ (which in BlogRush-speak means sometime before 2010). I also of course compared what BlogRush said vs. what Google Analytics said - and they did match. In truth, I’d rather focus on content and other forms of marketing than wait for BR to get it together. The widget uses too much real-estate, and at some point I expect they’ll be accepting advertising or something else (if they plan on profiting) that will make me even less inclined to use it.

    Regardless, thanks for stopping by and commenting! Cheers!

    I was about to take it down also then they sent the following Email and took it off for me.”We regret to inform you that your BlogRush Account has been made INACTIVE because your blog did not pass our Quality Review criteria.” I guess they beat me to it. Love your site.

    @Kevin:

    Are you serious? I took a look at your site - what on earth caused it to not meet their stupid quality (which is kind of a laugh coming from them) criteria? Is there hidden javascript that I didn’t look at pushing people to viagra ads or something?? Geez..

    7 Kevin 11.01.07 at 1:33 am

    @ Ross
    I have no idea why I didn’t meet their High standards. Maybe its because I only get a few thousand hits a month. I thought like everybody else that it would be a good way to drive traffic to my site, but I only got 9 hits from them. So as the say in the movies Hasta la vista, baby.

    I finally had to unsubscribe because of all the emails they send out. 1-3 emails a week? Too many.

    9 David Bradley 11.11.07 at 2:29 pm

    Yep, it’s off my site…

    Yeah I took it off too, giving too much traffic for peanut clicks , not worth it to me

    11 Don 10.23.08 at 1:24 am

    I was just about to put one on one of my sites, because I was watching the exciting video they have. You guys ruined it for me. :)

    Another sound good thing blown to hell.

    I think I will not even waste my time, looking at these stats tell me rush away from blogrush. I get more visitors from off the street by yelling out my website address from my window.

    How ironic is this? Exactly one year from this post and it really is ‘Goodbye BlogRush’. BlogRush just closed their doors.
