After 5 days I can say that I have had virtually no 'impressions' that were not my own (mostly generated when previewing my blogs)! I have yet to see my own blogs listed in the widget but other non-relevant sites appear again and again! Not impressed!

Please know that we are working our butts off to make improvements. We got hit with system abuse and we've got some other issues to solve. Our sole focus is to help our users generate targeted traffic -- we realise without that the service has no value. So please know we are working very hard to improve things as quickly as possible. And enough of this "pyramid scheme" stuff. It's a free service that takes advantage of the network effect and rewards its users for it -- unlike all the other viral services online that only benefit the company that runs it. We already have many users with tiny traffic blogs that referred someone with a high traffic blog and they are already receiving exposure that they never would have received. We're working very hard to fix some problems. If anyone doesn't like the results they're getting, then by all means remove the widget and ignore us. But for everyone else, just know that we're working really hard to make things better -- that's all we can do. Hey everyone, John Reese from BlogRush here.

Anyhow, Id like to give a couple of month for BlogRush to stabilize, few days is not enough. Finally, I'd prefer targeted traffic, people who would like to click my ads as well. Not just random dudes surfing here and there. Those ads are the sources of my income. I hope BlogRush works but I have to say I am a bit sceptic.

I have the same widget installed on my site and I've seen almost NO visitors from it. Maybe they should do a little tweaking and make it worth people using it on their blog.

End result is that those who have the traffic will have their links shown all the time while the small guy who needs the traffic will almost never see his links show up.
