** This is a repost, originally this article was posted on October 22nd but I took it down due to the approaching release of Blog Rush 2.0 I should have left it up and removed the Blog Rush code at that time. Obviously I’ve removed it since and am reposting this article. For those of you wondering about Blog Rush 2.0 let’s just say it’s like a ditsy blond. Looks pretty, but is really pretty useless.**

I had high hopes for Blog Rush not to long ago. Even after several setbacks I kept them on my blog to see how things might work out. Unfortunately John Reese hasn’t really ever gotten this project off the ground. I believe there are several reasons for this, but ultimately the reasons don’t matter to anyone but John who I doubt is very pleased with his performance regarding Blog Rush.

What performance?

I have no idea and that’s part of the problem. Enhanced performance stats have been “rolling out” for what, three weeks now? Enough is enough, shit or get off the pot as the old saying goes.

Don’t you know how hard John is working on it?

Nope, I don’t. What I do know is that whether he and his team are working 20 hours a day or 20 minutes a day the result for their efforts is the same. Nothing.

Maybe you haven’t given it enough time?

I had it on here within 24 hours of the program becoming active. It’s been on full time since then. Hardly seems like I need to give it more time to make a decision

I bet you’re getting some visitors from Blog Rush

Yes I have gotten some visitors via Blog Rush. 44 (or 46 depending on what stats you’re looking at) total since the day it was installed on the site. That doesn’t even average out to one visitor per day.

Ultimately I find it is time to move on because things have simply been moving along too slow with it. Hopefully John Reese will get things worked out in the future and things will work out as “promised”.

Edit: Just after I posted this article I got a congratulations article telling me that my blog has passed the quality control guidelines and would be included in the Blog Rush network. Unfortunately Blog Rush hasn’t passed the quality control guidelines to appear on my blog. Maybe they’ll get it straightened out and I’ll try it again in the next few weeks. In the meantime I’ll use the real estate it now affords me to generate some more income with the traffic I already get.
