Blogrush couldn't detect Blogrush widget on my self-hosted wordpress blog. So it wasn't working for me. Anyway heard it's already dead and closed now.

Count yourself lucky to be getting at least a trickle.

I still get the trickle of visitors that I always got from it, which is better than nothing for me at the moment!

I agree with you about the widget slowing down the loading of pages though. The Blogrush widget seems to be one of the worst offenders for that.

For me the bottom line was is it bringing more traffic to my blog. That is what it promised. In my case the answer was a clear and unequivocal NO. It was just using up valuable screen real estate without the benefits.

Thanks for the best wishes Jaffer.

Blogrush has been promoted with all the fervour and hype that MLM marketing companies do. Even by some bigger blogs that I won't mention.

The bottom line is you have to take with a grain of salt anything said by someone who stands to gain from the product. Some would call that a conflict of interest.

I had my doubts about BlogRush from the beginning !
I think it's the cool intro-video and Syndication credits that are alluring !

Just saw your Twitter about your household getting hit by the flu. I hope everybody is feeling better by now !
