Your diagram looks like the Bavarian Illuminati’s 13 degrees of initiation

Sounds like this blogrush thing is a pile of crap.

Not sure if that was the old version, I managed to upgrade it to the one you see now, which is still pretty poor…

Is that the same image that appears on the dollar, is so its quite appropriate

Yeah BR is utter crap IMO… I put the script on cron earlier, randomising the number of impressions and running it every minute…. it seems to be weaving its magic.

I had to laugh earlier when I read the post I lifted the script from say that he thought that they were using IP + Agent to identify unique users. The author went on to say something like:

“This leaves two points of failure, the IP…. and the Agent”

Reading that made my morning…. the fools (script randomises both IP and Agent….)

If their coders don’t fix it might be the biggest meltdown this year

There is a note on their site today saying that click through’s are low because of people trying to cheat the system…. but saying they will resolve this and stop all abuse in the next few days…

Also, my page impressions have stopped rising, so perhaps they have made some changes already…

It will be interesting to see if they actually ban me or whether they want to keep all their users so they can flip the service for a silly profit

If they start banning people, then people could use the script to target legitimate users… I would never do that but it will be fun to see how Blag Rash handle the abuse.

I cant believe they released a product you can game with the reload every firefox plugin… how silly of them…

This is fine. There may be a great opportunity for Technorati to announce a better solution.

Or My Blog Log, that is a far more genuine and useful product… without the Pyramid structure sending all the link juice back up to Shoemoney and John Chow…

Since folks from MyBlogLog staff enabled mass spaming I don’t use this service.

My thoughts exactly! The numbers just don’t add up, and if people earn hit commissions through people they refer then the surplus of owed hits will increase continually. Especially as Blogrush offers a 1:1 hit ratio, where does it “magic” up the extra hits? Sure it can give some from it’s site but the way Blog Rush is going there’s no way that will be enough.

It is not possible to get out more clicks out than you put in

I dont think there will be much traffic to be had anyway, as I said, everyone wants to be a network builder…. very few people seem to be clicking the links…

I’ve been saying this about Blogrush for the past week or so yet nobody seems to be listening. All the hype seems to have blinded people to the fact that it is simply a pyramid scheme. I haven’t seen one good review by people who’ve used it, so I just can’t see it working. Maybe time will prove me wrong.
