    I didn't have luck with them at all. In fact, I couldn't even get approved. I recently posted my discontent with the e-mail I received from them.

    It's a load of bollocks.
    No point sugar coating it.

    Thank you very much about the info, bobchrist. Rep Added.

    I am going to keep it over the weekend and see if something good happens from BlogRush, if nothing good happens and things remain the same then I am going to remove it.

    Got to say I'm against it as well ... the approval process is just shocking - rejected site that break none of the criteria

    I had a site approved and installed their widget. Got nothing from it. Had a support question that never got answered.

    In the end I stopped using them. Didn't seem like they had their act together. They couldn't even take the time to answer a simple email.

    I am using it in my blog for the past two months and got 50 unique visitors. Do you think I need to continue this widget?

    Well I just clicked on one of your sites from the links in your signature and it clearly violates this term of Blogrush(if not some of the others too):-

    - The blog should not contain an excessive amount of advertising and links and very little actual content. The focus of the blog should be quality content.

    But back to the question, Blogrush has generated me very little clicks, but I'm going to leave it there and see if this grows in the future. The fact it does reject poor content and quality blogs will help people with good content, less commercial blogs in the end.

    I use it on my blog. I have thousands of syndicated. Very few clicks. Some of my blog posts have over 15,000 syndicated and only 5 clicks. But for the moment I have nothing else to replace it with so I'm going to hold on to it for now.

    It's true that I'm getting a very small percentage of visits from my syndications, however...

    I'm probably doing better with it than a lot of people are. I think the key is to create a separate feed with a single post in it, using a great headline that draws people in. I posted about this strategy a while back with tips on how to do it on my personal blog.

    For me, I've already had some payoff not just in traffic, but with at least one strong link from a guy who disagreed with me and ripped my post to shreds.

    The link counts just the same though. ;) I'm not going to turn down free traffic either, no matter how small it is. It only takes a second to implement and try it out.

    I completely removed all record of BlogRush from my websites a long, long time ago. I didn't see any improvement with regards to traffic whatsoever when I had their widget installed.
