Are you a rabid RiverHawks fan? You know the type: season tickets to every sport, first name basis with the starting quarterback, never miss a woman’s softball game…. If you live and breathe RiverHawk sports, you just might want to start a website that allows you to blog, opine, and bloviate about every game, every play, and every player. Think of the wonderful hours ahead of you as you explain in detail every mistake made by your favorite team, and how you would have called a different play at the critical stage of the game. Believe us, everyone loves to hear your opinions, and a website will give you an unparalleled platform to spout off as never before.
But how do you set up your own RiverHawk sports blog? Its easy! Just follow these three steps:
- Design: Start with a WordPress website and customize it with a sporty theme. Set up a blog and a forum. The forum is to allow people to offer opinions that may or may not coincide with yours. If you are ambitious, you can even include a guest blog area for current or former RiverHawk stars. You can make a commercial venture out of it by adding an auction page for RiverHawk memorabilia. You can add a shopping cart facility so that you can sell items from your collection of autographed balls and broken bats.
- Content: Hopefully, you learned to write well when you attended NSU, so we would expect perfect grammar, punctuation and usage. If, however, you snuck out of English Comp class to attend a women’s golf tournament featuring your favorite RiverHawk players, then hire a freelance writer to help you with your writing. You will want to pepper your content with keywords that tell Internet search engines that your website is all about RiverHawk sports. And remember to respect the opinion of others who send in comments to your blogs, even if they are wrong.
- Backlinks: To score bragging rights, you want to be on Page One of search results for keywords like “RiverHawk sports”. How do achieve this? Backlinks! These are hyperlinks to your website emanating from other, high Page Rank websites. Search engines count these as votes, and if you have a lot of votes, you win a good position in the search engine results pages. You can check backlinks at an Internet site that can also help you set up a backlink package that will boost traffic to your site.
For next to no money, you can treat the rest of humanity to your special opinions about RiverHawk sports, updated daily and delivered by the Internet to homes around the world. RiverHawk teams can use your help, so get going!
