BloggingZoom Sucks More Than BlogRush
BloggingZoom is a hot new comer to social networking scene that allows bloggers exchange traffic by presenting their content in relevant location. While it doesn’t perform same function like BlogRush does its promise is similar and end result expected by many is also one and only – more traffic.
And now I’m making an official declaration after a few days of using it:
- BloggingZoom Sucks More Than BlogRush …
… that is – BloggingZoom Sucks More Traffic Than BlogRush
Delivering on your promise is something that is expected in blogosphere and ability to deliver on its expectation is essential to survival of any service. Especially when it aggregates information form many bloggers and expected to provide a certain benefits in exchange. In this particular case it is one of the most crucial aspects of blog success – traffic.
One interesting thing you will find in stats I’m about to provide is that traffic from BlogRush is of higher quality event though is a lot smaller numbers. And another thing we need to account for is that BloggingZoom been active for only about 3 days, which stats clearly display. But here are the Google Analytics screen shots I’ll be using for proof ..
BlogRush
BloggingZoom
… and now time for some quick analysis base on images above that we can compare 2 sources:
- Traffic Numbers: BloggingZoom wins 19 to 8. Nearly 3 times more visitors over one week period and considering that only 3 out of my 6 submitted articles reached the *HOT* status it shows clear advantage.
- Traffic Reach: BlogRush take the lead here by providing a higher number of new visitors and smallerBounce rate percentage. One for One so far…
- Traffic Conversion: BlogRuh once again moves ahead with visitors coming from it stay on my blog longer and and view more pages. Two for one …
Hmmm .. conclusion might be quite a bit different from what one might expect but once again – more flowing traffic, even of lesser quality on average wins the battle. And BloggingZoom has proven that it

Lol you guys are killing me today! That’s funny and thanks for a positive review. Let me know if there’s anything I can do to help you with BZ.
“No traffic for you!”
For Blogging Zoom to really suck more than BlogRush Court and Vic would have to allow in more spammers and start banning good bloggers for no reason at all.

Glad my post got some emotions

I think Blogging Zoom is really going to move in the next few weeks. BlogRush on the other hand is still a toss up as far as I’m concerned. The traffic from Blogging Zoom at least adds a few more views to my BlogRush account.

Alex,
Great link bait!
Very good analysis of the two side by side. I stopped using the “rush” ages ago and zooming is more fun anyway.

@James – yeah … that is why I still use BlogRush … just kinda hard to believe that Reese’s idea bombed out … I’m giving it time with hopes
@Monica – thanks, stopping or not is a matter of choice and as I have shown above, BR doesn’t send much traffic but when it does, people coming through it more engaged with my blog. Even if its just 1.2 visitor a day
While I’ve never used BlogRush personally, I’ve heard plenty of things about it, both positive and negative. As of right now, based on the opinions I’ve gotten from other bloggers, BloggingZoom is staying as my #1 traffic provider.
Besides, I’ve had nothing but great results from it. My analytics stats have been skyrocketing since I signed up for BZ (although skyrocketing is a relative term here, since I was getting close to NO traffic before I signed up) But still, I went from about 3 hits per day to somewhere near an average of 200-300 hits per day AFTER signing up and submitting my articles.. all in less than a week!
I get the feeling that number will continue to increase as long as I keep submitting the level of content I’ve been putting in so far. Also, StumbleUpon has been pretty great in that respect as well.

Erica,
Your numbers are great! It is definitely nothing to sneeze on
Whenever I find a service that delivers – I use it to full potential and looks like you are on right track …
The only issue I see with BloggingZoom is that if your post doesn’t make it to *HOT* (5 zooms or more) status within first few hours – your chances of getting it on a more visible page are next to nothing unless you are actively Zooming other people’s content and commenting. That was the only way I was able to get even my better posts into that status …
Alex
Interesting to see them side by side. I haven’t tried blogrush yet, I have held off the temptation to use it after ready the press it is getting. Thanks for posting info about BloggingZoom so we have something to compare it to. Scott

Sure thing Scott,
As you can see there wasn’t much to compare but still – side-by-side is always helpful.
Alex
I hadn’t heard of bloggingZoom. I’ll have to go check it out. BlogRush has sent me some traffic. Not much though. The real trick to BlogRush is using a good title that will grab people’s attention.
Off to check out BloggingZoom……

BloggingZoom is pretty good and most importantly – it is created by bloggers for bloggers ….
If BloggingZoom sucks more than BlogRush, then they should be really bad.

No, you have to use Self Hosted WordPress blog. What I cover on my blog mostly relates to self-hosted WordPress.
Alex
Thanks for the response. I will explore the use of a self hosted wordpress blog as I move t my own domain.

Hi Alex, thanks for dropping by my blog. Regarding Blogging Zoom, isn’t it too early to comment ? I have been using it since Friday, and so far get 25 unique visitors, which is fine when compared to BlogRush. Plus they are working on search engine placement of my blog posts. If we create titles including keywords, then it can create miracles. What do you think ?
Cheers,
