Blog Review: 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.

swung by the post you linked, and i agree. having a certain group of readers who're fairly loyal, and may even actually quite enjoy your blog, really does help, also because it makes writing posts more enjoyable, or at least less intolerable.

I love this blog, mainly because of the fact that I like both MMO and sports, and to see a blog that combines the 2 is pretty awesome. Thanks for pointing it out.

The Sports Dollar gives the reader a mix of information on both SEO and sports, and yet still maintains its sports theme with content quite well. It displays its sports articles with pics somewhat like the large sports websites do, and covers a wide variety of sports topics and current events. Nice blog overall.
I enjoyed the read, though the post was older I still think that the sports dollar is a very interesting topic. I am enjoying the blog, thanks for posting.
