The Sports Dollar

At first glance, this blog appears to be a sports blog masquerading as a make money online (MMO) blog, but I could be wrong and it could be the other way around.


What is "The Sports Dollar" really about?

There's just way too much sports-related stuff on this blog to classify it as MMO blog, even if Kellex says it is. I wouldn't even waste my time reviewing it if he was competing with the MMO niche. But he's competing with sports blogs, not the MMO niche, so it's okay with me.

Site Design

I've seen the layout before, but I can't tell you who put the finishing touches on it because there aren't any credits of any kind in the footer. All of the navigational items I've come to expect are right there, under the banner. Speaking of the banner, it doesn't look like it should go with either a sports-oriented or MMO blog. It's unusual, but it seems to work with the rest of the design.

At first I thought it was a WordPress theme because the content on the left and the two sidebars on the right are perfect. It's not. It's a custom theme being used with Blogger (blogspot.com). I had to look at the page source to spot that.

Article Content

I'm not into sports or MMO, so I had to pick an article that I didn't deal with either really. I found "What Makes a Sports Blog Great?" on the second page (currently).

The interesting part of this article was about the "network". I couldn't agree more. Networking, without necessarily being extremely social, will get you a ton of backlinks.

My Overall Opinion

I like the blog. It's not my cup of tea, so to speak, but I still like it. Maybe it's because Kellex isn't writing solely about sports on it. He's not writing solely about making money either. It has a good mix of things that should appeal to the average blogger. It appeals to me, and I don't consider myself average.
