If you want to help your WordPress-MU bloggers drive more traffic to their blogs, why not let them use BlogRush. You can watch the short BlogRush video to learn about it but in short this widget shows related posts from other blogs (like the one currently on the sidebar).

Each time the widget is shown, the blogger earns one credit point and for each credit point earned, one of the bloggers posts is shown on some other blog. One can also earn points by referring bloggers to the program (like a pyramid scam but no money is exchanged).
The BlogRush widget for WPMU is placed in the mu-plugins directory and the only thing the user must do is signup for an account with BlogRush and get his code. The code is part of a Java Script snippet like this one (code is highlighted in red):
<script type=”text/javascript”><!–
blogrush_feed = “10760145“;
//–></script>
<script type=”text/javascript”
src=”http://widget.blogrush.com/show.js”>
</script>
Once the code is retrieved just enter it in the widget:
Download: blogrush-mu.zip
Install: extract into the mu-plugin directory.

Would there be a way to set it for the ADMIN code to pre populate until the user changes it?

Hi there,
I’m posting this comment to let you know that many people are confused when one uses the word “wordpress” and does not follow it with .com or .org. I think your wordpress.com readers may benefit from knowing that bloggers with free hosted wordpress.com blogs cannot use the BlogRush javascript widget

Perhaps you may wish to consult what staff have said:
Cheers and happy blogging.

I’m not sure about the confusion issue. The title of me post is “BlogRush widget for WordPress-MU”, note the MU. You can take look at it here: mu.wordpress.org
