I've noticed that domains with words like "income", "sales", "free" and a few other words were kicked out. Of course, big sites got a free pass and there are still plenty of "made for affiliate offers" sites that passed this scrutiny.

This sucks... I'm thinking about pulling the widget myself! ps. You have a great blog!

There is a thread over at warriors that was locked. Apparently some other big timers were caught up in this as well and there are some very unhappy people over there. It's beginning to look like a no-go. Mark,

Mine passed and your blog looks a lot better than mine at the moment. I don't think your missing much anyway. I am not sure if BlogRush will stay on my site too long. I have gotten a few readers from it but I do better with MyBlogLog. Doesn’t make sense to me. Mine passed and your blog looks a lot better than mine at the moment.
