I applied Blog Rush (referral) to one of my blogs. It is the ugliest, clunkiest looking piece of crap to be sitting in your sidebar. It looks horrible. It just looks like a pile of clutter.

However, the important thing is will it provide the desired results and get traffic to your blog? Maybe. I suppose anything is worth a try these days. But my guess is most bloggers are going to be burying the thing out of the way so eyeballs won’t exactly be falling on it.

It’s just not very aesthetically pleasing to the eyes, man. I get that you want to make it so people notice it but good grief. Did we not learn anything from Adsense and banner ads? The idea is to make things blend in to your site. Not bleed all over it.
