If you're new here, you may want to learn what this site is about. I encourage you to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
On Saturday, I wrote about a new blog promotion service called BlogRush. What this service does is share your blog with others who are subscribed to the service. You’ll see the series of links to other sports blogs (the only category available to us now) in the bottom right of our sidebar. If you refresh this page, you’ll be presented with another series of links.
So, why should you care?
If you write your own blog and want to share your love of multisports with others, sign up. It’s free and you earn “credits” for every page view. For example, if 100 people visit your blog every day, a link to your blog will be shown on 100 other blogs.
Take a moment to reflect back on why you did your first triathlon. At some juncture in your life, you were inspired by a co-worker, friend, Ironman television coverage, or perhaps something divine, to say “Hey, I want to tackle that challenge.”
Once that decision was made, you most likely turned to the Internet in search of more information. You probably found a couple of blogs that struck a chord with you and here you are today.
Since BlogRush launched last weekend, they’ve served over 40 million blog headlines. That’s a lot of people we can expose to multisports. That exponential growth has caused some problems with a few blogging wienies trying to take advantage of the system. Here’s an excerpt of what the folks at BlogRush have up their sleeves for the future:
What We’re Doing About These Issues
1. We’re moving to a MANUAL REVIEW process. No more automation. We will be reviewing ALL blogs submitted to BlogRush. If the quality of the blog is poor, they will not be allowed to participate. We’re going to start reviewing ALL the blogs that are currently in our network and will be disabling the accounts for poor quality blogs.
2. We’re continuing to add security measures to our system and we will be mass-removing any and all cheaters that we discover. We will not rest until the cheaters are WIPED OUT and kept from abusing our network. The manual review process will help eliminate most of them as legitimate bloggers that have put in the time to create a decent blog aren’t the types that are going to be abusing the system.
All of these changes will only benefit our users — it will increase their click-through rates and drive more traffic to their blogs. It will also make sure that the blogs their widget links to are only quality blogs.
I want to have as many of my fellow tri-bloggers join the network as possible so we can have enough participants to get our own category and not have to share with the NFL bookies.

I think that there should at least be a fitness category, since that’s a pretty big area.
Blaine, good point. Actually…that’s a better idea. I’m sure there are a lot of fitness enthusiasts to want to take it to the next level and get out of the gym or off the yoga mat.
