BlogRush Statistics And Updates
The jury is no longer out! I’ve installed the BlogRush widget to enjoy rush hour traffic since 18 Sept and the stats are in for some reporting and updates.
The Syndication Credit Earned chart shows the total and breakdown of traffic (for my blog and my referral network) of each day for one week of activities. This chart is complemented by a credit balance and referral network stats shown below.
This blog started running BlogRush widget one week ago and has earned 8666 syndication credits to date.
Activity by Generation
The activity by generation shows the make up of your network. My network only signed up to the second generation of referrals. Looks like I got more work to do to encourage my downline to work harder to build up their network.
The syndication credit payout structure works in 1:1 payout for the first two generation of referrals (1 credit earned for every impression of the widget by your referrals in first 2 tiers) and ended with 1:8 from the 7th - 10th generation of referrals (1 credit earned for every 8 impressions of the widget by your referrals in the 7th

e.g. some titles in your widget as I speak … Toronto Airport is Blogging
Controversial Email Marketing Secrets Revealed
and one that really sets the spidey senses off …
Sell Things that DON’T Exist, although I haven’t clicked through to see the sites. The one valid and reputable blog I’m aware of that I see is SMOblog.
It would be telling if stats were provided to you from BlogRush as to where your links are being displayed.
Hi Deborah
Yes, having to review every blog in the network by manual process is indeed a herculean task and taking a step back.
I’ve always wondered whether my headlines were shown on blogs of related niche as that will surely improve the CTR.
I’ll give the BlogRush team some time to work out the chinks and let’s hope they come up with a better and stronger traffic driver.
[...] I posted my BlogRush statistic and showed you a screenshot of my syndication credit balance as 8666. I did a double take earlier [...]
