BlogRush Review - How To Drive An Insane Amount Of Targeted Visitors To Your Blogs!

John Reese, who is famous in Internet Marketing circles for being the first internet marketer to have a “million-dollar” product launch day, has just released a new, powerful and free viral blogging tool. Adding this tool to your own blogs will help drive more targeted visitors to your blogs, because the software has several powerful built-in traffic-driving principles.

Before we look at these principles and why the software is an example of brilliant marketing, let’s take a look at some market statistics regarding blogging, bloggers and the blogosphere:

According to Technorati, there are 1.6 million posts being made to blogs per day and 175,000 new blogs created each day with over 50 million being tracked. This is quite simply a huge and massively growing market.

The new tool is called BlogRush. It is an attractive-looking blog sidebar widget that is easy to add to your blog - simply copy and paste a simple script. It then shows 5 blog post titles for other people’s blogs, with the name of the blog displayed below the post and these change every time the page is refreshed. You can see it displayed at the bottom of my blog sidebar.

What’s so cool about this widget, is that every time a page is displayed on your site containing the widget, the title of your latest blog post is shown on the widget of other topic-related blogs. This has the effect of not only promoting your blog around the Internet, but promoting it to a theme-relevant and targeted audience.

So, for example, if your blog is about health, the links shown in your widget will be related to this topic, and your blog posts will be shown in other blogs about similar themes. When you first set up a blog in your control panel (just four lines of information are required: blog title, blog URL, blog feed URL and category), you choose the category of blogs you want to cross-promote your posts with.

If you are concerned that adding this tool to your blog will take people away from your blog to other blogs, you’ll be happy to know that whenever one of your blog visitors clicks on one of the post titles displayed in the widget that belong to someone else’s blog, a new window opens. This allows you to keep visitors in your own blog, while also providing them with more information related to your content. Of course, this application will also help other people find the information they are looking for by leaving other people’s blogs to come to yours.

I was actually impressed with how relevant the posts were to my blog themes when I added the code to several of my blogs. As the tool builds more users, it will have more posts to pool from and the algorithm will continue to be improved, therefore, bringing more and more relevant content to your blog
