Tamar – I agree with it being overrated and lack of visibility. Yes I saw Darren’s post that’s what initially got me concerned as I thought I’m a tiny little blog with virtually no readers of course I won’t get clicks. When I saw he had like 35 clicks out of around 70,000 impressions something clicked in my head.

Great advise to leverage what works. I’m still giving Blog Rush a few weeks just to see what happens, but even with a lot of work I fear it’s going to be a flop. Either that or my expectations for it are completely out of whack?

I don’t trust BlogRush at all. I think it’s incredibly overrated and your stories will have no visibility.

Did you see Darren’s post on ProBlogger? The CTR was miserable.

I came here via StumbleUpon, not via BlogRush. Leverage what works, not what doesn’t.

Sean – That’s great! But my question is out of how many impressions? What was your bounce rate? How long did the traffic stick around? Did they visit any other part of your blog?

I found that in addition to the really tiny CTR my traffic was leaving within about 20 seconds of arriving.

Strange how everyone is complaining about the result on BlogRush because I had good result… More than 20 clicks so far

Maybe I am just lucky =)

Vienne – I haven’t even bothered with the filters yet. I’ve not come across anything to horrible at this point though I’ll happily add in what I need to add in should I come across it.

Kamal – Good luck!
