Blog Rush and their Quality Review criteria

In case any fellow bloggers have thought about signing up for BLOG RUSH, a blog syndication site, don't bother. I signed up, checked it out, and the majority of their syndication consists of 'news' like what Paris Hilton or some other celebrity. I had decided to remove their script from my sidebar today as I cleaned up things here at Right Truth. However, today I received an email informing me that Right Truth had been removed from their syndication, because it didn't meet their Quality Review criteria. What IS that criteria you ask???

BlogRush Quality Guidelines:

- The blog contains unique, quality content that provides opinions, insights, and/or recommended resources that provide value to readers of the blog. Articles, videos, public domain works, press releases, and content written by others are okay to be used on the blog, but the ratio of unique content should far outweigh content from other sources.

- The blog should be updated on a regular basis (at least several times a month) and should not just go a few months between posts.

- The blog should already contain at least 10-12 quality posts. New blogs with very little content will not be accepted.

- The blog's primary contain must be in English. BlogRush is currently not available for non-English blogs.

- The blog should not contain an excessive amount of advertising and links and very little actual content. The focus of the blog should be quality content.

- The primary content of the blog should not be "scraped" content from other sources and/or script-generated pages for the sole purpose of search engine rank manipulation. The focus of the blog should be quality content.

- The blog's content (or advertising) should not contain any of the following types of content: hate, anti-racial, terrorism, drug-related, hacking, phishing, fraud, pornographic, nudity, warez, gambling, copyright infringement, obscene or disgusting material of any kind, or anything considered illegal.

I replied to their email with a nice "Thank You" for saving me the time it would take to remove their code. Good riddance.

Following the criteria above:

Right Truth has a minimum of 5 original writers who contribute "exclusive" articles on a regular basis for me to post.

Right truth has from 5 - 10 new posts per day.

Right Truth is ONLY English.

Right Truth has NO advertising.

So the only conclusion I can come to is that BlogRush considers my posting on ISLAMIC TERRORISM as unacceptable. I suggest that you pull BlogRush from your site or don't sign up. It's a waste of space.

Thanks for a nice and informative site. Somehow I was drawn to reading the post and I learned a lot. Have a nice day!

I Love Jesus
for everyone
I'm going to heaven.

No, I don't deserve it.
And there is nothing I can ever do to buy it.
No amount of money I can donate,
no deed righteous enough to save myself alone.
I'm not worthy enough, on my own, to claim eternal life...

But I don't have to do anything --
no incense to offer, no prayer schedules, not even going to church every satterday--
Because it has already been done for me.

That's how much Jesus loves me.
He loves me more than my mom does.
More than any girlfriend I could ever have.
More than someone...

And I love him too...
Not as perfectly.
But I do...
I REALLY DO...Busby Seo Challenge

Athiest Jew: You are so right, they gave themselves away. Well, I have no use for them.

From what I gather, by noticing the blogs that got Blog Rush's termination notices including two of mine, I think Blog Rush hates Israel and atheists.

Ryan Hogan: What? You didn’t get an email informing you they had removed their code? It was gone when I went to remove it myself. They were bragging that they had removed 10,000 blogs from their roll. Only problem, they removed GOOD blogs with information people could use. I never really wanted to join any way but they kept sending me emails begging me to sign up. What a crock. Like you I never got one hit from them, so far as I know. But I never saw any quality show up in their widget, only celebrity fluff.

As I said, good riddance. I have plenty high class blog aggregators that are happy to have Right Truth.

Thanks for the comment at Right Truth. Glad others feel the same.

John Reese is a moron and his Blog Rush is a big Blog Dud.
I'm sure that using Elitism to decide who stays and who goes coupled with an unfinished, ineffective product is doing wonders for his reputation.
I blogged about my recent experience here:

Well all I know, is that if they do not want your blog then they are ignorant beyond belief. BlogRush is a waste of time. You meet all criteria and the one I linked to has ads. So....I think there is something behind their agenda. Sites such as BlogRush should remain unbiased. Or they will end up down a pigeon hole.
Just my 2 cents

Velvethammer: They are bragging that they have removed 10,000 blogs. Only problem is they removed the GOOD blogs, ha.

[Velvet Hammer]

Look at this blog, it has been accepted and there are ads all over the place!

What gives?

Snooper: I'm in good company then. I hope you sent them an email to to customer service let them know what you think.

[Snooper]

LOL!! I received the same email, took their retarded thingy down and I am done with them.

In guess they only want debauchery blogs.

Morons.

[Grouch at Right Truth]

You tellem sweetie!

David and NANC: Thanks for the support. I hope others will follow my lead.

[nanc]

consider yourself blessed!

they want you to promote media whoredom - why, that would make you a blogpimp just like them, debbie - you did the RIGHT thing!

[David]

I would say this proves they have no objectivity. They are a hardline site promoting and proliferating lies and the blather of celebrity fandom.
