Website startup

[ISS]

Hello,

We have just started a sports website. Our site is very unique in the way we do things. What we do is take content from popular sports site and use it with ours. We are not trying to compete with anyone.

Just give the fans the info they want. We only cover NFL and NBA the two most popular sports.

We also give the small guy a chance meaning if you have a sports site a you do good work we will place you site right next to the big guys.

These are the problems we are having.

1. Getting people to come to the site.
2. Web marketing.
3. Just making the site more popular in general

What are some things we can do to get this site off the ground?

Thanks and hope to hear from you soon.

If the have a good site they will be placed next to the big boys without having to puy advertising to be placed there.

Things to do:
1. Offer something is not cover by NFL and NBA.

We do we offer Madden and Fantasy. The thing about us is we have info from the small guys and the big sports sites as well. You will not find a CBS article on a ESPN site. A FOX sports article on a NBC sports site. With us you will be able to find all four in one place.

2. Understand user need, when readers visit your site, they must get some value info.

If you are a sports fan you will find MORE than you need on our site but we just need to get the word out more.
