BloggingProfits joins BlogRush

BlogRush

So I visited JohnChowDotCom this morning and he has a post about BlogRush, which is another way to get traffic to your blog.

John writes:

Let?s face it, without traffic it?s pretty hard for a blog to make any money. The more traffic you have, the more money you make. Everyone wants more traffic and we?re always looking for more ways to get it.

BlogRush provides a widget you install on your blog which flashes the latest posts on blogs related to your topics. For every page load on your blog that displays the BlogRush widget, your blog posts are displayed the same number of times on other blogs that use BlogRush — these are called syndication credits. This is the same idea behind the traffic exchange networks of old,but of course this is more “high tech.”

Described as a “Cooperative Syndication Network,” BlogRush is the brainchild of Internet entrepreneur, John Reese. Mr. Reese is the founder and CEO of Income.com.

From the About page of BlogRush:

BlogRush is a “Cooperative Syndication Network” that rewards its users for their contributions to the network — from the impressions they provide of the BlogRush Widget to the referral of other users through 10 ‘generations’ of activity and the impressions of the widget that they provide. BlogRush was designed to be incredibly viral and to provide its users with tremendous distribution leverage to receive exposure for their blog content (onto related content blogs) that they could never achieve on their own; at least without a massive advertising budget.

Related to BlogRush, Andy Roberts writes this review of BlogRush as compared with blog traffic exchange networks such as MyBlogLog and Romlet.

Another blogger, Abhiskek Tiwari, calls it a “A Pyramid Traffic Scheme For Bloggers.

BloggingProfits will install the BlogRush widget and I will post updates about our experience with BlogRush.

Google Analytics added to BloggingProfits

To better analyze traffic as we start BloggingProfits, we have decided to use Google Analytics.

Google Analytics

Feature and benefits of Google Analytics:

Google Analytics helps you find out what keywords attract your most desirable prospects, what advertising copy pulled the most responses, and what landing pages and content make the most money for you.

Google Analytics runs on Urchin software, “which analyzes traffic for one or more websites and provides accurate and easy-to-understand reports on your visitors – where they come from, how they use your site, what converts them into customers, and much more.”.

As we speak of website analytics, an interesting development is reported by DownloadSquad — Microsoft is launching its own web analytics tool.

Brad Linder says the Microsoft analytics tool codenamed Gatineau will be at least as powerful. Here is the link to request an invite to the beta.
