I totally agree with your thoughts on the “usability” of Blogrush & Co.; but it’s a real pity that there is no such service for blogs in other languages – it’s totally impossible to do this kind of rush-marketing if your blog uses a language other than English.

I like how you talk about the importance of headlines if you want to get people to click on your link. As the web gets more congested, this will be a good way to reduce the clutter. Thanks for the resource, i will definitely check out trafficjam to see how it works for me.

Definitely will try Trafficjam soon. I’ve been abandoned by blogrush, because they said my blog doesn’t have quality contents :)

Traffic Jam is a great site. It helps me find the blogs fast and effectively. Its still improving but I feel it will be a great tool in the future. Soon everyone will be trying to figure out how to get ranked on trafficjam.com

The seesion ID lark is easy to deal with. php does it for you if there is a cookies problem or if you choose to do all work via the URL. It’s actually a security issue if you can grab a session ID from another user before it times out you gain control of their account. You can change the use of session id to never in the php configuration file. It’s on as standby by default.

Simon there is a need for click data based upon a percentage of views.

MyBlogLog could certainly do it if their stats go back far enough, but currently their “what’s hot” is not based upon niches and displays.

That means that on my profile what is hot is normally either porn or warez related, and I have no idea which of my communities causes it.

I like it, but I don’t like it…

I like the idea that posts are aggregated for you based off a metric that measures the undercurrent of what’s hot.

I don’t like that “what’s hot” is dependent on BlogRush, because it will never provide truly informed results in my opinion.

I think that once someone comes up with a better framework for collecting the needed data (maybe services like BlogCatalog are already capable of it, I’m not sure), then such a service could be very useful.

But whilst it’s based off BlogRush, no.
