It's a useless widget that's not going to bring you significant traffic. Just like a banner-exchange system, it doesn't work without requiring its participants to place it in a prominent position, above the fold. Take the placement of your Blog Rush widget for example. You're generating the page views to earn your reciprocal page view from another blog, but I doubt that your Blog Rush widget is sharing any traffic. Same goes for most bloggers. In the end, everyone is generating useless impressions. The one site that actually benefits from all of this is BlogRush.com Don’t wait it out. It’s a useless widget that’s not going to bring you significant traffic.

I find nothing malicious in this widget... Care to clarify? Blog Rush is causing quite a stir and I will be updating with a new post soon. In the meantime I am continuing my use, and the widget is visible on my blog, at this time, in the right sidebar. (So if you read fresh this page 10,000 times, it will help ;) Dewald:
