Quality over Quantity - Lost Over 200 Blog Rush Blogs
I hadn’t even bothered to check my blogs on Blog Rush until I ran across this story on John Chow’s blogs. After I read it, I logged into my Blog Rush account, only to find out that my Internet Marketing for Free Blog was one of those blogs labeled low quality, spam.
You can imagine that I was crushed. I’ve worked really hard on this blog, and I’m always looking for stuff, free if possible, to help all of you with your marketing efforts. I guess there’s no appeal process, and since this blog isn’t included at Blog Rush, I removed the code from my other blog.
I did it because I never liked the blogs that were displaying on my other blog. I just don’t think it’s appropriate to display other religions or atheist blogs on a Christian blog. To me using Blog Rush was like recommending other blogs on my blog. It was also a way to get traffic too, but it wasn’t traffic I wanted if it meant an association I didn’t think was appropriate.
Traffic really is no good to you if it isn’t targeted because you want people visiting your site that are interested in what you have to offer. This is my reason for ultimately removing this code.
The alternative was to set up all of my sites on My Blog Log, and I’m very pleased with the results. My Blog Log is owned by Yahoo now, and Yahoo has always been really good to me and my sites.
Let me be clear here: although I don’t agree with what Blog Rush did, and I’m not the only one that they did this to, I don’t believe that I’ve done anything wrong. I don’t believe that trying to offer your readers and customers the very best value is wrong. I also don’t believe that trying to provide the best resources to your readers is wrong.
Recently, I did a complete overhaul of my business model based on what was really making me money. The purpose was to do more of what I was already doing, based on what I had learned from Marke Joyner’s Simpleology Course. (If you haven’t taken this course yet, I highly recommend it. It’s helped me make more money from my business, as well as finding my real passion and doing it.)
Most of my money was coming from blogging, writing articles, and affiliate programs. So, that’s where my focus will be from now on, and, as always, I’ll only be writing about the best.
For those of you who love to write, blogging really is the way to go. Although I don’t make as much money as John Chow, and a lot of other six figure bloggers, I do pretty well.
Anyway, I’m done with Blog Rush. I’m sorry I recommended it, and I won’t recommend it anymore. I like My Blog Log, and I hope you’ll pay me a visit over there.
Now, about my business overhaul:
I’ve converted all of my sites but two to blogs (I own 10 total). I’ll be adding videos, articles, reviews, and tons of other resources to these sites to help my readers in the future, and I’ll be writing about internet business, internet marketing, marketing for writers, and my latest edition, Over 40 and Fabulous. I may even just put up a picture of my granddaughter on here (My third grandchild).

Jinger,
I’m really glad that you made this post. I am just learning blogging and have been following you and the information that you share for a while before taking my first steps.
I think it is really sad and have seen many victims of what seems to be .. must be .. an automated system for evaluating sites. A person certainly couldn’t have read it - Spam.. jees that just makes me mad.
I have blogrush on my site.. because of your direction and my blog is in its infancy.. what scares me is that when it becomes as sophisticated and has, I hope as much valuable information on it, will some automated system cream me that didn’t even read it?
I’m pulling my blogrush code.. I cannot in good faith support what happened to you.
Thank you, Jinger!
Finally. Someone has spoken up with the facts. I’ve been watching all the hoopla and all the troubles Blogrush has encountered since the start.
Something told me from the get-go not to get in on this. I wonder just how much traffic the users are actually seeing now.
On the blogs I visit, not once have any blogs listed enticed me to visit. Now, I don’t even notice the widgets.
Thanks again for your insightful information you always deliver on a consistant basis!

To both of you, I’d like to say thank you. I really appreciate your comments. The truth is, I believe that John Reese built that site with the intent of selling it off once he started making money from it.
Anyway, I like My Blog Log, it’s a Yahoo property, and Yahoo has been really good to me.
If you want a lot of traffic, submit your RSS feed to Yahoo, as well as joining My Blog Log, and also submit your sitemap to Yahoo. They’re all about business, and they’ll treat you right. Jinger
