A short time ago John Reese launched the first program in the project he is referring to as ‘Income.com’.
This program is ‘BlogRush‘, which is basically a tool for advertising your blog on other blogs, and of course, vice versa.
BlogRush is wonderfully simple, easy to implement on your blog, and works very well at bringing in traffic to your blog.
Here’s how it works:
- You add the BlogRush widget to your site, which appears as a box with several text links in it. You can choose the color format from a wide array to match it to your blog.
- Everytime your blog earns a ‘page impression’ i.e. someone visits it, you earn an impression.
- The titles to entries on your blog will then be advertised on other people’s BlogRush boxes, which when people click on them, will bring them to your site.
- Plus, if someone sees the BlogRush widget on your site, and joins BlogRush from there, you will earn a percentage of the impressions they generate also.
So, in summary….
Pros:
- Very easy and effective way to bring traffic to your blog.
- Integrates very easily into your blog.
- Can potentially provide large traffic flows with time, as people join BlogRush via your links.
Cons:
- As with any advertising, it could potentially take a visitor away from your site when they click on a link.
- May distract from other features of your blog that you’re trying to promote e.g. an email subscription form.
Overall
Despite the few small drawbacks of putting the BlogRush widget on your site, I highly recommend it. It’s a very easy, fast and effective way to promote your blog.
