Help Wanted

Hi Everyone

Since Tarquin joined Football Banter I think the site has improved greatly, and I am very grateful for his continuing contributions. I had previously considered taking the site down, as I was concerned that on my own I was unable to post frequently and consistently and the site was going to go nowhere. Tarquin has been the big reason for this site's recent improvements.

I wanted to extend an initiation again to any other bloggers who might also like to take a role on the site, as I think there is scope for more contributors and a wider remit. We are not running a news blog; it is all about opinions and commenting.

So, if you already have a blog, [it does not have to be a sports blog] and might like to post here, as frequently or occasionally as would suit you; drop me an email at footballbanter@gmail.com and I will see about getting you set up. If you are as yet unpublished, try writing a post, and see how it feels; if you want a go send us an example.

Since Tarquin joined, we have moved up to 8th in the Wikio UK sports rankings (as per Septembers rankings), and if you care to go look as some of the bigger boys we are competing against I think you will appreciate that there is real potential here. Traffic is still relatively low, but has doubled and is more consistent now. Tarquins contribution has also allowed us to post more frequently postings between us, and this has helped drive traffic in the right direction. We both have other commitments that come first and Football Banter fits around our lives as and when we are able to post.

There is room for more commentators, and if you would prefer to keep your postings on a narrower theme that is just as fine as if you wanted to write about football from all over the world. It is a beautiful game and reaches the whole world, so there is no reason why we would limit ourselves to English and European football. Sports blogs, as with blogs in general in the UK are still in the embryo phase, more and more people are looking to the internet for opinion pieces, and the trends are growing away from established news sites to newer and more independent sites. Why not get in on the get on board now?

If you are interested, do not delay... email us now!
