Goodbye BlogRush

vid Ross McKillop Oktober 31, 2007

Blogging

Jag har väntat dem till första visning ”″ särdragen för version 2. Välla fram dem har slutligen - så nu kan jag tappa det tjänste-. Är här why -

Statistiken

Från Sept. 16 hitintills (Oct 31st), har den BlogRush manicken överfört 156 folk till Simplehelp. Det 156 folk i genomsnitt uppgå till 1.41 sidan beskådar per besök (under den samma tiden som platsgenomsnittet var sida 2.00, beskådar per besök) och spenderade ett genomsnitt av 47 understöder på platsen (vs. platsgenomsnittet av 1 minut 52 understöder).

Allt det info blir viktigare, när jag avslöjer den nästa uppsättningen av numrerar. Jag har ”tjänade” 585.833 krediterar - 560.456, genom att visa manicken på min Simplehelp (trafikera), 25.377 vid min remisser (knyta kontakt - som består av 9 medlemmar, som undertecknade via min remiss anknyter upp).

Allt det uppgår till detta - a klicka-till och med klassar av 0.026%. Min ”mycket bäst” (mest lyckat) BlogRush postar beskådades 32 tider - når han har visats 82.424 tider. Och enligt BlogRush - det klicka-till och med klassar ”hoas” (se nedanför screenshot). Du HAR FÅTT lura mig.

Så bjuder jag dig ett inte helt förtjust avsked BlogRush, din manicken ska nåd min plats ej längre. Bra lycka i framtiden.

ps. Jag hoppas folksna @ BlogRush har lärt, på mycket least - inte första visning något, tills den är ordnar till. Jag förstår att du inte förväntade det för att vara så populärt så fasta, men det är endast giltig för så long. Lovas uppdateringar inom en bestämd tid inramar, och upprepade gånger inte att leverera inte gör för bra kundtjänst.

släkt notera: under tiden har har jag använt BlogRush, efter platserna överfört mer trafikera än BlogRush - images.google.co.uk, mail.google.com (från mitt e-posthäfte?), images.google.ca och även images.google.com .mx. Och det är inte inklusive den verkliga `en' trafikerar remisser gillar lifehacker, 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.
