Yesterday I posted a little tidbit about the apparent Blogrush scam that is currently causing a lot of chatter across the sphere. At the time of the post I didn’t realize how big the scam had become, but after looking a little deeper… I’ve been enlightened.

Earlier this evening I found a blistering post claiming that Blogrush is ran by idiots. After reading that post I stumbled on to this post about the Blogrush scam. Then, I found a September post at Mashable which begged the question, “BlogRush: Traffic Generator or Pyramid Scheme?”

BlogRush: 8 Reasons to Be Wary…and Optimistic

Obviously I’m a little late on this story, but it’s still quite disgusting to watch it all unfold. Like I said in my first post on this, I felt the whole deal sounded crappy from the start.

John Reese, a man who made a million bucks from selling a thousand DVD’s that explained how to make a million bucks must have thought to himself “huh, this new media thing looks nice and shiny. I want it!”

Basically, Reese created an instant buzz with a state of the art widget that promised the world, yet came through with nothing. Some are claiming Reese used the widget to gain mass backlinks and free e-real estate for his affiliate links.

Either way… it’s turning out to be nothing more than a failure.

So is BlogRush worth installing on your blog? Not at all.
