TRAFFIC UPDATE - ALEXA AND THE WAR FOR 1ST

Trafficestimate.com now indicates that Boxingscene has crushed fightnews by over 70K visitors more a month.

Sites that are sinking fast

doghouseboxing.com has spiraled downwards badly and has only 290K visitors. For a site that touted itself as #1 it's really gone down.

FightNews continues to sink. I'm not sure why or what has changed.

Boxingtalk has gone down badly. Since Hype left, there is no more hype at boxingtalk.

Maxboxing had declined quickly but has now remained around the 330K visitors mark.

Nothing sweet about the sweetscience at 150K visitors.

Boxingconfidential made a nice comeback and jumped back up to 217K visitors

Eastsideboxing continues to look strong at over 520K

Of course, FightBeat.com has continued to show a steady rise breaking our old record of 204K and now recording 208K

Alexa is all over the place but we still remain #11.

Doghouse boxing is advertising central.

Going there is like going to a bad porn site.

 

really? I've only been there once or twice and my pop-up almost died. I thought it changed.

 

We need to send Tracy Callis over to boxingscene to see what effect does an article titled "Bad Ni GG Er" have on their site.

 

let's not kid ourselves. fightnews does and will not sink.

 

say that in English and I will respond

 

he should do a monthly series. his next one can be called 'slanted eye gooks' and talk about asian fighters.

 

ok my bad, what i meant to say was....YOU SUCK

 

perhaps not, but let's face it. it's at a point where the site just simply isn't going to get any better.

All they really provide are results and edited press releases. Other sites are keeping up with 21st Century technology. When those same sites also provide instant results, post damn near everything sent their way, and also fuck around and get breaking news, then naturally people have less of a reason to visit multiple sites and stick with one or two.

That's why people are no longer automatically going to FightNews, and why BoxingTalk declined to the point where it's not dead, but is basically terminal.

Dogshit Boxing's fate solely depends on whether or not Max can turn things around, because as a site on their own, it's absolute garbage.

 

Jake still has hate in his heart.

 

here's the thing tho. say you were out for the night and missed out on a fight. or say you woke up one morning and had to check what happened in a fight overseas. are you gonna go to some message board for rd by rd or are you going to fightnews to check their results?

i dont know, but i have a habit of going to fightnews as soon as i get on the computer. upon checking the result, then i would proceed to go else where for a more detailed article.

this would certainly apply to folks who follow boxing but aren't aware of other sites. it's that or they go to espn.com.

fightnews won't change, but their intent is to provide news from all over the world. i think their advantage is having correspondents from different countries.

 

what i'm saying, though, is that if you have a site in your rotation (not message boards, but actual website/home page) that provides you instant results, in addition to all sorts of other stuff, there's no need to check out two or more sites.

there's a site in mind, but I'm not allowed to say it here :: ... yes, people are turned off by it being pop-up central - but someone has to be checking it out, as it's not only #1, but continously creating space between 1 and 2. but for the most part, any given fight result, rumor, preview, recap will be found there without having to wait very long. and quite often, videos the next morning (if not sooner).

this is the part where cupey and karl come in, bitch about the quality and substance, blah blah blah - but it's obviously enough to not only attract viewers, but keep 'em coming back.

boxingtalk was on its way for a while - until they discovered that it was far too expensive to keep everyone that helped make the site a success. now, they're even getting outscooped more often than providing it, and are back to the point where if you don't care for Q&A's (which I don't), then there's very little reason to check 'em out.

FightNews is still relevant in the same way people tend to settle for instant coffee and microwave dinners. but it's really the only purpose they serve these days, and as more sites provide that AND more, the more they continue to decline/become irrelevant.

 

i went to a website that covers the scene of boxing and their pop up made me do a ctrl-alt-delete to end it. since then i havent gone back. ::

i only read one person's column when i go there and he sorta looks the new middleweight champion.

 

In Christianity, thinking of the sin is almost the same as committing it, so YOU ARE BANNED ::

Now, let me answer you and all those people at that other sites. What BS has proved is quite simple, there are more stupid people in this world than smart ones. 208K smart ones found FightBeat, the stupid ones, well...

:tease:

 

... they followed me to "that site" ::

 

i know, i used to hate going there for that very reason. though since i upgraded to Windows Vista, it's no longer an issue.

 

smart ass hahahahahahaha. I'm warning you, I'll send Tracy Callis over there :nono:

 

boxingtalk is fightnews lite plus interviews. i dont get how they even have members. why would anyone want to pay to read interviews? at least maxboxing provides actual columns'the next round' and a bunch of sparring footages.

 

people come to fightbeat to read your articles. Without you we'd be doomed :bears:

 

dont mock me.

 

You mean ESPN's site?

 

um, first off, no.

but what part of the post led you to believe it? the first part of my post was talking about FightNews.

 

Im saying that ESPN has links to Maxboxing which has links to doghouseboxing.

 

Don't make Jake angry. :nono:

 

VIVA FIGHTBEAT!!!


REED:cheer: :cheer:

 

Just letting him know how i found about about maxboxing.

 

Just let it be. Jake seems ready to snap.

 

Leave Jake alone, guys. He doesn't need this right now.

I just know, sitting in front of his computer, he has that big vein in his forehead just bulging out.

 

ah ok gotcha. that makes sense

ignore whiskey. i'm fine, i'm heavily medicated, you have nothing to worry about

 

He should follow the instructions in the TAA thread.
