Thanks for stopping by BDG,

As predicted by many the only ‘rush’ that has happened is to the bigger blogs.

My stats from my server, google, feedburner and sitemeter are all very near in being the same.
I have never gotten a correct count from BlogRush and have only seen 3 blogrush hits out of 1600 in October.

Where is the rush?

I’m dumping BlogRush November 9th after my “BlogRush Sucks” post.

Thanks, BDG

Actually, my other blog was accepted while this one was rejected. I suspect OpTempo was ‘bot rejected due to the short domain age. As best I can tell from my logs they barely pinged this site before rejecting it.

If they had said in their rejection notice “Your blog must be 3 months old” like Pay-Per-Post or other programs do I would have found that an acceptable reason. However, for them to come back with a vague “Didn’t meet quality guidelines” was rather rude and insulting. That’s why I started this whole category.

I understand John Reese quickly hired a bunch of people (at an flat-hourly rate) to “view” blogs for quality. I also understand some created “bots” to randomly approve blogs and get paid the flat rate — scamming BlogRush a second time.

Perhaps that’s what happened with you.
