    We regret to inform you that your BlogRush Account has been made INACTIVE because your blog did not pass our Quality Review criteria. You will find instructions below for making your account active again.

    You will notice that the widget no longer loads on your pages -- please remove the BlogRush code from your blog for now.

    We recently reviewed your blog(s) located at:
    http://www.sadakoreview.com

    We determined that your blog did not meet our strict quality guidelines. Please do not take this personally but realize that we must abide by a very strict set of quality guidelines. (They are listed below.)

    - The blog contains unique, quality content that provides opinions, insights, and/or recommended resources that provide value to readers of the blog. Articles, videos, public domain works, press releases, and content written by others are okay to be used on the blog, but the ratio of unique content should far outweigh content from other sources.

    - The blog should be updated on a regular basis (at least several times a month) and should not just go a few months between posts.

    - The blog should already contain at least 10-12 quality posts. New blogs with very little content will not be accepted.

    - The blog's primary contain must be in English. BlogRush is currently not available for non-English blogs.

    - 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.

    - The primary content of the blog should not be "scraped" content from other sources and/or script-generated pages for the sole purpose of search engine rank manipulation. The focus of the blog should be quality content.

    - The blog's content (or advertising) should not contain any of the following types of content: hate, anti-racial, terrorism, drug-related, hacking, phishing, fraud, pornographic, nudity, warez, gambling, copyright infringement, obscene or disgusting material of any kind, or anything considered illegal.


    ---------------------

    Wow, I didn't expect that. I had that thing for more than three weeks in my blog. Does that mean that they only accept super high quality blog? Poor me, newbies like me won't stand a chance to display their uber useless widget. Anyway I don't mind that their widget is gone now. It doesn't deliver any traffic anyone.

    I mean how can they manage to review all the blogs account one by one. Was this mass mailed or something?

    I can imagine that you think this way. Let me tell you this. If you run more blogs separated form eachother, you get the craziest results from BlogRush. Some were declined, others were accepted, no logic at all. Bye Bye BlogRush. Real fun overthere with their ugly widget :D.

    They have a lot of terms and conditions like no excess advertising and no spammy posts , no excess links and high quality content etc.,,

    Better we should stay away from them as they can make out account inactive for displaying google adsense ads

    LOL. So true. Somebody should make a list of all the crappy widget-based networks that have sprung up this year. Seems like so many start out with a bang and then crash and burn (AuctionAds anyone?).

    Yeah there have been some really bad ones. I still use the BlogRush one but that WidgetBucks one was a seriously worthless P.O.S.

    Looks like the blog rush is going to crash down. The way the gold rush run dry back in 1800's.
