I’ve obviously been on hiatus from this blog for quite a while and should have written this post a long time ago. But stuff happens. But why has this happened?

We were looking for an outlet to get our opinion and message heard and provide a fan’s perspective not represented by mainstream media.
Therefore, making money from our sports blog wasn’t our initial priority and internet marketing probably isn’t a core strength among most sports bloggers. Without question a successful sports blog begins and ends with great, unique content. But, sandwiched between needs to be consistent support of that content through promotion, search engine optimization and other marketing activities.
The problem:
