If you've not heard of Blog Rush, the idea is very simple: you put a small piece of JavaScript on your blog which links to the latest blog posts of others in the network. Every time you display links to other people's blogs, you earn credits for links back to your own blog.
This is an effective way of increasing your blog's exposure, but it gets much more exciting when your traffic starts to increase exponentially! This is what happens when you make proper use of the referral link.
By referring other bloggers to BlogRush, you earn extra credits. When they refer their friends, you earn even more credits. This continues many levels deep, so there is potential to get HUGE quantities of traffic this way.

A few smart bloggers have already realized this, and are displaying the BlogRush widget prominently on their blogs rather than at the bottom of the page. This should mean a steady stream of new sign-ups and a gradual increase in exposure which will grow over time as your referrals start referring other people. Even if you only get one person signing up a week, that's a lot of people by the end of the year!
Displaying your referral link prominently on every page is a fantastic idea that will pay off in the long-term. Here's another good idea that will pay off even quicker.
If you're really smart, you'll blog about BlogRush.
Write a post explaining the benefits of the network and how excited you are about joining. Don't be shy, let your readers know that you have high expectations about all the new visitors that will soon be arriving. Make it interesting so people will read on and hopefully click the referral link. (You can place a text link at the end of your post using your referral code.)
Don't stop there! Ask for your readers feedback and start a conversation. Once you have a few comments, this is an excellent opportunity to reply to those comments in a new blog post, once again promoting your referral link.
After a few days, post an update of your experience. You can do this repeatedly every few weeks or months, and every new post should bring you some new referrals.
Taking every opportunity available to discuss and promote the BlogRush network is the best way to gain maximum exposure. Who knows, if a well written post generates a bit of a stir within the blogging community, you could unexpectedly get an avalanche of new referrals and suddenly start getting thousands of new visitors a day. It has to be worth a try.
