This is Creative Blog Marketing
September 16th, 2007 Posted in Blog, Internet MarketingI just checked out Shoemoney’s and John Chow’s site, and they both introduced Blog Rush, which is a new widget that is supposed to help market your blog.
I have to say it is very clever and is designed in a way that can help blogs become viral. You basically get your blog posts shown on other people’s blogs for each view you receive on your website. For example, a 100 visitors on your blog translates into 100 times that your ad will be shown on other blogs.
That’s pretty cool.
Here’s the special part. The referral system is the really creative part. Every person you refer to Blog Rush will help you get even more exposure. Every impression they receive will give you even another impression for your own blog. This continues down to even people who they refer, and even past that!
If you’re an early adopter and refer a lot of people, this could potentially mean millions of free impressions for your blog posts!
This video explains it best. There is something about this system that makes me wish I created it. All I know is that Blog Rush definitely made me want to join quickly and get it spread. How about you?

Hi Carl - I had just been reading about this too. The only problem is - it’s heavily biased in favour of those who already get over 100,000 visitors a month like Shoemoney and John Chow.

Agreed. I thought about that. I’m sure I’ll see Shoemoney and John Chow spammed on my widget. Not that it’s spam though.
I’m still curious to try it out to see what happens.

Let me know the results. Hopefully it will be good and you’ll get heaps of traffic.
