“Blog Rush” for Investing Blogs

I just added a new widget to my right sidebar which shows links to other investing blogs’ posts.  The idea is for each time my page has a visitor, I get a syndication credit that will give me “advertising” on another financial blog.  For each person who clicks on my widget (or here) I also get credits from their visitors and so on and so on…

It’s off to the side, so I don’t think it’ll be annoying when you are just here to read my stuff.  Hopefully we’ll see some good links come through that we might have missed otherwise.  Of course this is self serving since I’m trying to generate more traffic for my own blog as each person who clicks on the widget and adds it to their site will be doing the same for their own.  Basically, it’s just good, free, viral advertising.

Get it here if you think it’s worth a try.

This is not only for Investing/Financial blogs.  It is for me, but doesn’t have to be for others.  They allow you to select the types of links you want. 

EDIT: I started this yesterday and earned 400+ advertising credits, but have had no click throughs yet.  I found this snippet on their site which explains a lot, apparently this is brand new and only started this week.

IMPORTANT MESSAGE: Click- through rates are very low right now due to problems with some users cheating the system. We are a few days away from removing all abuse from the system and you will see your click-rates increase. We are also moving to a Manual Review Process for all member blogs which will also increase the traffic you receive. Thank you for your patience — we’re working hard to improve this beta version of our service
