Recently a popular blog widget provider that would syndicate your posts in a fancy little widget on related blogs across other sites in their network decided to close up shop. But did anyone really notice? If a tree fell in the woods and no one was around to hear it, does it make a noise?

We tried blog rush after it “spread like wildfire” through out the internet, but guess how many people it actually delivered to our website over the course of 4 months we used it. One. Yes that is correct, we published roughly 50+ posts in that time, saw our syndication numbers in the thousands for some articles, and one measly click is all it delivered.

Blogrush was a novel idea, had potential to be something good, but was poorly implemented, had people trying to scam it like they do everything else with no real way to combat it, and lets face it the clicks it provided we’re worthy of the space it took up on many blogs.

We like the whole idea behind it though honestly and hope someone can figure out a way to make it work.
