Web and Graphic Design HQ

A new blog “widget” from IM guru John Reese is all about traffic exchange, and growing traffic for blogs.

I added the widget to this Web and Graphic Design HQ blog in about 4 minutes. Easy to do: just add the code to the Sidebar file within my active WordPress theme. (I added a blank line above it, to separate it from the RSS feed links).

Here’s what appears in the sidebar (this graphic below is just a static screen shot — as you can only have the widget appear once on any page):

It will be interesting to see if traffic improves as a result of the widget, or how long it lasts on the blog! I used to love Snap Preview Anywhere, but it soon became annoying, so whether BlogRush lasts the distance, we’ll wait and see.

I guess it will partly depend on whether BlogRush stays true to normal users, or is abused as outlined on the Warrior Forum.
