More Info for Bloggers

A little while ago in this post I mentioned a new service called BlogRush that aims to help bloggers attract more visitors. I know a number of you signed up with BlogRush as a result of that post, so I hope you are reasonably pleased with the results you are getting.

I thought you might like to know that the people behind BlogRush have just launched a new (and, again, free) website called TrafficJam. TrafficJam displays the most popular blog posts in the BlogRush network, both overall and in specific categories.

I was pleased to find that my recent post about the new Qassia revenue-sharing website was at number 18 in Traffic Jam's Writing & Literature category, so it appears on the first page for this category. The rankings are updated regularly, of course, so my post may have gone up or down by the time you read this!

For BlogRush members, TrafficJam provides an opportunity for your best posts to gain extra publicity. And it's also very useful for seeing the post titles that are attracting the greatest interest from readers (coming up with good titles for your posts is the key to getting more visitors from BlogRush)

But even if you're not a BlogRush member, you might still want to use TrafficJam to review the most popular posts in any category. If you're looking for ideas for topics for your own blog that will attract readers, TrafficJam should prove a useful research tool - and it's also a good tool for discovering blogs you may not have seen before covering your area/s of particular interest.

Hi Deborah

Sorry to hear you were turned down by BlogRush.

As I understand it, approvals are largely handled by freelancers hired by BlogRush, so it's just one person's opinion. I'd try appealing to the BlogRush management, or even just resubmit (hopefully you'll get someone else to look at it instead!).

Good luck :)

Thanks for answering Nick.

I'm not upset. The blog that was turned down is an experiment of mine.

Just to clarify, Blogrush has approved two of my other blogs -- both are doing fairly well.

I'd like more participation on my blogs but, I'll settle for having the feed subscribers.

Thanks for the answer.
