I can’t remember how I found BlogRush (non affiliate as I’m not sure I can recommend them to anyone at present) but I think it was a direct email invitation.

They must have been desperate to begin with, because they accepted one of my blogs.

I say this because, despite having jumped through hoops to ensure that the blog met the new quality criteria (which I agreed with), such as moving the widget above the fold, and such like, when I submitted a new blog with the same level of content, the same template layout, and three to four times the number of visitors, it was rejected.

And I didn’t get any explanation as to why, despite the FAQ saying there’d be an email sent to me.

The stupid thing is that, despite a lot of people saying how pathetic Blogrush is, I decided to stick with them as Phase 2 sounded interesting. That’s precisely why I added (or tried to add) a second blog, of equal if not better quality, to the first.

It seems that’s not welcome, and the lack of courtesy which couldn’t even run to an automated response makes me wonder if my first blog is very soon going to be for the chop.

I don’t know, but as someone who hasn’t written anything negative about Blogrush, and who doesn’t run spam blogs, it’s actually a little insulting.

Yeah, sure, they say not to take it personally, but when it’s supposedly being human-checked now, it’s hard not to.

Come on, Mr Reese, if you want this to be a success you need to look after the people who ARE sticking with you. Or are you too big to really care? After all, you’ve made all of your money, haven’t you?
