Net Hustlin'

If you are looking for more readers at your blog, Blog Rush claims to have the answer. Blog Rush is a new service that started two days ago, but it already has hundreds of people talking.

Blog Rush is a widget that you put on your blog. It has links to 5 other blogs on it. For every page view that your blog gets, a link to your blog is displayed on someone else's site. The great thing about this is that its a 1:1 exchange. So if you have 100 visits a day, you have the potential to reach 100 more visitors every day.

You also get 1:1 traffic through your referrals. Your blog will show up on the widget every time your referral gets a visit visit, even when their referrals get a visit. There is obviously a lot of potential to get maximum exposure through this. They have a great video on the Blog Rush homepage which explains how this system works.

I put the widget on my blog and so far I haven't seen any traffic come from it. I'm going to keep it up for a week and see how it does. John Cow put the widget up on his page this week and says that he's already seen some traffic from it.

The only flaw in the Blog Rush system is that it seems to benefit people who already have traffic. The amount of traffic you get is based on the visits you receive and the amount of referrals you can get. This might be why John Cow is seeing results but a lot of bloggers have yet to see any change.

Either way, I'm going to give it a week and I'll let you know how it goes. This is a great idea and hopefully it will pan out well.
