Our site Criticker is finally getting noticed by a start up site and we are extremely excited about it. Phew … and I thought Criticker will die without anyone noticing it was ever there (yeah, feeling sentimental right now … hold on have to dry my eyes … sniff). This might going to kickstart more interest on other sites like TechCrunch .. oh well maybe some day .

This is why are a killer startup:

Criticker makes it easy to find new movies to enjoy and makes it quick to rate movies to add to the accuracy of your TCI. They have a decent chance of getting people to buy from their lists of items since they generally deal with movies you can buy in places like Amazon or eBay. There’s a lot of site activity, so clearly many people have found their algorithms to be helpful in the search for their next great movie viewing experience.

This really made our day … and if you like you can plus this review over here to get us even more noticed. We would be very thankful for that.

As you can see on the right hand sidebar I am still using the Blogrush widget which entered the blogosphere not too long ago. Things kind cooled off and a lot of bloggers don’t bother with it anymore. Mostly due because they kicked out some high profile bloggers out of their system and for the last weeks there dashboard were just a nightmare.

But they cleaned up their act … and I am actually receiving some traffic ( could be more though) but I am sticking with them because I think their traffic sharing has huge potential.

They just published a new detailed video to outline the latest changes. There is a link on the dashboard.

I especially love the new BUZZ Meter … which shows you what blog titles got clicked most in the blogrush network, this will help you to figure our what helps and you can even then filter out posts you don’t want to get syndicated in their network.

They also offer now new sizes and flavors … and something like this:

does not hurt at all on the sidebar. Especially since that widget is not causing at least my blog to slow down.

This is not bad for just sending one email out on Mybloglog (if you like you can join RGS there)

Thank you all ..

You might now the Random Good Stuff Shop if you are looking for gift ideas or we also have a Movie / DVD Store on our Movie Recommendation Site Criticker. On the RGS Shop I am adding products by hand and the Criticker is getting the products via Data Feed from Amazon. And both variations are not optimal and I was always looking for a way to have a nice Store Front with easy controls.

So I found the Software from Freeway … which is free!

This is perfect if you actually have your own products you would like to sell. So for Criticker we need something like. But with a feature to add products from Amazon for example. So we can easily hand pick products we would like to display (like aStore) but be not just limited to Amazon products.

Does that make any sense? If you know a Store software which would fit our needs?

Anyway, I thought I’d share that Freeway Store Software.

I get an email asking how happy I am with Blog Rush.. well, since Saturday I got … hmmm 13 clicks which is kind of dissapointing. I expected way more traffic. I got tons of Credit balance raked up and if they would use all I would haven gotten aroun 39 which would be more acceptable. But I think they did not expect such a big BOOM and they have trouble with their algorythem. So I won’t be giving up on them. Especially when I look at the tiers … I only got referrals up to Level 4 and there are 6 more to fill.

Just wanted to give you all an update on RGS’s / Criticker’s Linkbaiting and traffic development.

First of all I got my first clicks on Random Good Stuff from Blog Rush, exactly 9 hits within less than 12 hours. And that’s just the beginning? Why … because I just found out that they are tiering 10 Levels!!!! Here is a video on Blog Rush which describes exactly how you will earn tons of traffic for you blogs.

Also … Deal Dot Com will go Live in 2 days… so hurry to collect your Referrals!

No to the exciting part … since I tried to launch Linkbait Friday / Criticker Backlinks traffic went crazy on both sites.

First RGS:

And here Criticker:

WOW….. thank you all for all the Link Love …. You are the best!

Since I put the Linkbait on hold I did some thinking and came up with something new. But for that you have to wait until Friday. And if you are wondering if Linkbaiting will get you banned… you can read on that post some comments. Which inspired me to the new campaign but for that you have to wait until Friday.

The only number which did not go up are my RSS Feed Subscriber Numbers …. Why should you subscribe to the Feed? Because it saves you loading time of the sometimes slow Website and there is no distracting sidebars … you just get the pure content.

And here is an other promise, when you subscribe you will always get the full feed! And here an other promise … you will never find Pop Up or Layer Ads on RGS … I hate these and I will never do that to my readers.

So if you like Subscribe to the Random Good Stuff RSS Feed or get update via Email:

And for Criticker Movie Blog: RSS Feed here and to get Email updates:

Thank you all for reading.
