Blog Rush is a blog syndication network that works using a widget that the blog owner puts in their website or blog. The widget displays headlines coming from other related blogs on the network and which shows your links on their blogs as well. This is a very lucrative way to increase website traffic to your blog.

The goal of service is straight forward: to give you more traffic and readers while sharing your traffic with other blog owners.

There have been many similar services in the past, but Blog Rush is introducing some interesting innovations. First of all you earn “syndication credits” every time the widget is loaded on your blog (i.e., one credit for each page view). If your blog has 1000 daily page views, your headlines will be displayed on other blogs using the widget 1000 times daily.

Secondly, you can also earn credits by referring people. Every time the widget is displayed on the blog of your referrals you will also earn one credit.

Lets face it, we don’t appeal to every person. Our energy resonates with the people it’s supposed to resonate with and vice versa. By sharing a small piece of real estate on your blog, you earn credits which then increase website traffic back to your site from all over the web.

You can have multiple blogs under one account, further increasing your page view credits

Everyone wants to increase website traffic to their blog. This little Blog Rush website widget from John Reese seems to be able to do the trick.
