Some extra good news was released last night from the Yardbarker camp that you all should be very excited about. Yardbarker has formed a partnership with Fox Sports that will allow it to share its network's blogs' content with the sports super power.
If you are a part of the YBN, and write interesting top 10 lists or other humorous content then there is a good chance your work could be grabbed and released to thousands of people through Fox's sports site. They aren't looking for your boring old recaps and game previews; they want the stuff that blogs are so good at, being creative!
Right now the process looks to be a little clunky but the crew at Yardbarker hopes to automate it in the near future.
As a sports blogger, you should be very eager to submit articles that could be used. Hitting Fox's site may not be as good as Extra Mustard, but it should still bring you a ton of useful traffic. Join the YBN and start cookin' up that magic sports blog material!
If you have questions or concerns about this new idea, you should contact Dewey and let him know you are interested. Also, feel free to let me know if you have any questions!
Did you know you can sell links on your site with Text-Link-Ads?
haha funny as soon as I read the email I knew you would let everyone know.
That is very exciting news, it should help out a lot of sports bloggers.
no lie, i knew Sports Dollar would be posting that email! lol i normally focus more on injuries, free agency, and trades but I think might start writing a few fun articles to. why not if it will grab some free promotion on a major outlet.
Mean readers! Not everyone that reads this is a part of the YBN and they need to know these things. :P
also bleacherreport.com has partnered with foxsports.com as well
hey kellex, mean?? thats a good thing!!! this is a great thing for blogging, so of course we knew you'd post this :-)
and i don't know, strange i think you might write about this, before thinking wow this could really help my blog! haha.
Haha so true...I know we are uber sexy, but your blog should still come first. :)
I read that Fox is also talking to www.prolebrity.com about a deal.
Jeremy's right, Bleacher Report also has a partnership with Fox Sports that will be announced in conjunction.
