Actually, more than just the title itself, your click-thrus increase with blog credibility...know what I'm saying? As people find certain headlines of yours interesting, the name of your blog on the widget gains street credit and most posts you write with a semi-decent title get traffic...I've been using the widget for a few months now and with unique content, consistently receive around 5% click-thru (sometimes more, sometimes less...but fairly consistent). It can be done!

I didn't really think they would screen -- just a bit ironic. I moved to feedburner recently and just activated the pingshot after your comment. Will also look into the article I saw about disadvantages of blogspot when using traffic directors. Thanks for your response!

I wouldn't have thought they would screen anything, John isn't that kind of guy, criticism is feedback.

Are you using Feedburner pingshot?

Ultimately you are crippled from gaining maximum potential from Blogrush (and blogging as a whole) by using blogspot.

I'm new to blogging, so BlogRush seemed like a good way to find my true followers! Seems it works mostly for those with a large audiences already (the rich get richer... lol). I wrote an article referring to Andy's "7 critical mistakes" in using this service --- see my post at 'Is BlogRush Giving You the Bum Rush?'Interestingly, this post has yet to appear on my BlogRush dashboard -- i.e. it's not being syndicated! Are they screening it???

A good title always gives better results.
The same for email marketing subject lines ...

The question I have is: Have you noticed whether or not the education or emotional level of your audience demographic affects CTR?

Creating attention headlines is a talent. In this day and age that could be a full time job.

That a blogger excels by his headlines is proved by you but doubts about genuine customers still linger

That is a pretty impressive CTR... it all depends on the headline and people that see it...

It is true in any form of marketing, a headline has to deliver on the promise, but it also has to be clicked or draw interest on a sales page for the content to be read.

Obviously just having a headline doesn't work, but the sceptics claim that Blogrush itself doesn't work for bringing traffic, which this article proves is not the case.

The problem is that such traffic is good only when the visitor can be converted into a regular reader. If you cant do that, you might as well put an adsense block in place of BR and make a few cents from the click rather than earn credits for a one-time visitor.

And in order for the visitor to come back to your blog, just a catchy title would do no good. The article itself needs to be informative. Which brings us back to the old(boring) adage: content is king..

Andy, you should do a post about Mybloglog and how convenient it is as a social aggregation tool. It is also a great place to get new followers for your blog.
