Well it’s officially time to remove the blog rush widget from the site. I think it’s nice to have streaming content on the site, although I think people have already become “blog rush blind.” It’s not that they owe me a ton of traffic or anything, don’t get me wrong, it’s just that the traffic they do owe me comes in once a week, one visitor at a time. How many visits do I give to other blogs? I would rather just write about things I see going on in the blogosphere rather that have a widget dictate that at this point in time. As I said I think it’s just “blog rush blindness” that’s killing the conversion rates. I would be interested to see what other guys like Shoemoney have to say about it considering they have a ton more traffic to work with.

Anyhow, goodbye Blog Rush - Hello Blog Calatog.



By the way, if you are a member of Blog Catalog and post this little widget on your site, your site moves up in the rankings there. They have a healthy amount of traffic and also a great group of people to network with. I will keep you updated as to whether or not it works out better than Blog Rush did.
