Comments on: Why BlogRush Failed, and Entrecard succeeded? http://neobluepanther.com/2008/04/why-blogrush-failed-and-entrecard-succeeded/ Writing, Among Other Things Sat, 29 Oct 2011 10:56:55 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3 By: Andrew http://neobluepanther.com/2008/04/why-blogrush-failed-and-entrecard-succeeded/comment-page-1/#comment-6428 Andrew Mon, 20 Sep 2010 13:03:39 +0000 http://neobluepanther.com/2008/04/02/why-blogrush-failed-and-entrecard-succeeded/#comment-6428 My personal thought is that Entrecard seems to have momentum on it's side because people want to feel like they can alter or improve their chances at a better spot in the bread line rather than just passively wait and hope. We're wired that way.

For BlogRush, though, I have been using it for some time, and have found it to be a fairly successful thing for me. At least, that is true for my main blog, though not for my travel blog. I think it has to do with the category my blogs are in. The books and writing blog (my main blog) mainly appears on sites that are targeted at readers and writers, and so it generates traffic. Not a "rush" necessarily, but some traffic. More importantly, it generates not just "foot traffic," but real readers. I have several new blogging "friends" I've met via BlogRush that have turned out to be repeat visitors at my blog, and I at theirs. That to me is more important than simply getting hits on the blog. BlogRush develops readers, not just people who stop by... if it develops anything at all. My travel blog, though, has only gotten very little traffic from BlogRush. It is in a different category, and perhaps those bloggers are less avid readers than those whose site will have my other blog's titles appear. I haven’t tried EC, so have no comment there.
