BlogRush founder John Reese has just released TrafficJam in public beta so does it mean a mad rush of blog traffic for your blog?

Using data from the BlogRush network, TrafficJam aims to drive traffic for BlogRush users on their syndicated network.

Good things for small blogs as well.

A quote from TrafficJam.

“TrafficJam.com was designed to give exposure to great blog posts regardless of the size (or current traffic level) of the blog. Some of the best blogs in the world are currently undiscovered and don’t have large advertising budgets to drive traffic — so many of them will never be found.”

Personally, I think one can use TrafficJam as a research tool for your online marketing efforts.

You can monitor other blogs by their niches and if blog watching is your favourite pasttime, its the place to keep fully updated.

I know that some bloggers don’t have a high regard for BlogRush and having their own opinions but it has not done me any harm so far.

If you have a blog, you could definitely benefit from BlogRush.

Now some of you may ask what is BlogRush exactly.

Here’s a quote in their FAQ section.

“What Is BlogRush And Why Should I Use It?

BlogRush is a network of blogs that run a small “widget” on their pages. Each time this widget is loaded it will contain 5 clickable headlines which are the blog post titles to other users’ posts. Clicking on any of these links will open a new browser window and load the blog and full post.

Users earn “syndication credits” based on each time their blog loads the widget as well as each time any of their referrals (users that signup after clicking the “add your blog posts” link on the widget) loads the widget. They also earn additional credit based on all the activity through 10 generations of referrals. 1 Syndication Credit = having one of their recent blog post titles served inside the widget on another member’s blog.”

Hey, it’s free so I have no complaints.

Simply join Blogrush if you have a Wordpress blog, Blogger (blogspot) blog, Typepad blog or Movable Type blog. Get your blog approved by the network and place the BlogRush widget on your blog just like in the sidebar on this blog.

You can also choose among 13 widget colors to suit your blog colors.
