Ik heb gewacht op hen om „versie 2 eigenschappen te ontwikkelen ″. Goed, hebben zij definitief - zo nu kan ik de dienst laten vallen. Hier is waarom -
Stats
Van Sept. 16 tot op heden (31 Oct), heeft BlogRush widget 156 mensen naar Simplehelp gestuurd. Die 156 mensen namen het gemiddelde van 1.41 paginameningen per bezoek (tijdens de zelfde tijd was het plaatsgemiddelde 2.00 paginameningen per bezoek) en besteedden een gemiddelde van 47 seconden aan de plaats (versus het plaatsgemiddelde van min 52 seconden 1).
Elk van dat info significanter wordt wanneer ik de volgende reeks aantallen openbaar. Ik heb 585.833 kredieten „verdiend“ - 560.456 door widget op Simplehelp (mijn verkeer) 25.377 door verwijzingen (mijn netwerk - dat uit 9 leden bestaat die omhoog via mijn verwijzingsverbinding ondertekenden) te tonen.
Elk van dat bedragen aan dit - een klik-door tarief van 0.026%. Mijn „zeer beste“ (het meest succesvol) post BlogRush werd bekeken 32 keer - na wordt getoond 82.424 keer. En volgens BlogRush - dat klik-door tarief (zie screenshot hieronder) „heet“ is. U moet me kidding.
Zo bood ik u volledig een niet dierbare afscheidsBlogRush, zal uw widget mijn plaats niet meer vereren. Goed geluk in de toekomst.
ps. Ik hoop de mensen @ BlogRush hebben geleerd, ten minste - ontwikkel iets niet tot het klaar is. Ik begrijp u het niet om zo populaire zo snel verwachtte te zijn, maar dat is voor zolang slechts geldig. Het beloven de updates binnen een bepaald tijdkader en herhaaldelijk het leveren niet niet maak voor de goede klantendienst.
verwante nota: tijdens de tijd heb ik BlogRush gebruikt, hebben de volgende plaatsen verzonden meer verkeer dan BlogRush - images.google.co.uk, mail.google.com (van mijn e-mailhandtekening?), images.google.ca en zelfs images.google.com .mx. En dat is zonder de `echte' verkeersverwijzingen zoals lifehacker, howtogeek, ubuntuforums.org, webupon.com enz.

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..
@ 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.
Kevin.
I finally had to unsubscribe because of all the emails they send out. 1-3 emails a week? Too many.
Yep, it’s off my site…

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