We had a Twitter account for the Sports Dollar initially, but then as we bailed on the site for a few months, we transferred that account over to Blaze of Love.  Well, the SD's Twitter account is back...follow us!

Was bored this weekend and completely sick of the old look.  That former template had been used by so many damn bloggers that it had run its course probably 8 months ago.  This new one just has a fresher look, but it may also have some bugs that need to be worked out.  I'll also have some tweaking to do as time goes on to make it fairly unique to the Sports Dollar, but please be patient.  :) One thing I'm noticing right away, is the top image/header not showing up comple...

Within the last day or so, IZEA launched a new money making program for Twitter which everyone should check out called "Sponsored Tweets."  It really was only a matter of time before someone launched a service like this, and with IZEA, at least you know it'll be legit and not some shady link selling service. Basically, the service looks at your Twitter account, decides a price that you should charge to tweet whatever sponsors want, and then automatically tweets it once you've accepted....

A month or so ago, I was approached by a new PPC advertising company called Picad Media.  They pitched me a new advertising technology called "In-Picture Advertising" which sounds interesting enough right?  So I gave it a try... The service is actually a pretty ingenious idea allowing small google-esque ads to be placed onto any image you choose throughout your site.  Basically, when you hover over an image on any of our pages, you should see a little advertisement in the bot...

OK, I dare someone to find me a better BlackBerry Twitter application than UberTwitter! This thing is seriously the most ridiculous Twitter app ever for the BB!  I was wasting my time for a solid 3 months now with TwitterBerry and BBTweet.  Why didn't someone tell me about this damn app long ago? Let me just break this down for a second: Allows "retweets" Interacts with your camera and photos with ease Is a location machine Allows you to check out tweets of people near you Plants...

That title is not only a little sad for me to type, but it also quite a relief.  Been pondering this post for quite some time now as you may have noticed the steep decline in posting as of January 1st of this year.  With our Blazers blog really taking off, we ran out of time for sports blog marketing.  (It's too bad really, we had a ton of fun and learned a ton of stuff.) I figured that I would give readers the first opportunity if they were looking to take over the only spor... Read Full Story

If you still aren't using Twitter, boil some water, throw a pot of noodles in it, and allow your significant other to lash the hell out of you for the next 15 minutes.  Not only has it taken the internet by storm, but it has also taken the damn sports world by storm and has become a daily fixture in the life of bloggers and athletes alike. There will be a ton of Twitter posts to come in the near future, but we thought we'd start off with the 3 Twitter applications we use through... Read Full Story

At some point, we all decided to check out the evil-text-link-stepchild, also known as Text-Link-Ads to try and snag a couple of extra dollars for our sports blog or 888 betting website.  And then right after we did that, we wondered why our website’s PageRank took an instantaneous dip towards the gutter.  Well, if you had done 1 Google search worth of research on this money making machine, you would have realized Google severely penalizes just about anyone for using the service.&nb...

Posted 2/6/09 An interesting trend, which has been touched on before, has sort of taken an interesting turn over the last couple of weeks.  You see, there is this culture of bloggers that basically run an entire blog made up of other people’s videos.  It could be a commercial that a major company has posted to YouTube, or a video cap of a game highlight, or even an old video that some kid found at home and converted into digital format for internet-goers.  I think I’ve shared...

Who doesn't love those yearly Super Bowl Drinking Games?  Super Bowl XLIII Sunday approaches and that means your ridiculous party should be on mind as well as those timeless drinking games. Of course this year we have the Pittsburgh Steelers vs. the Arizona Cardinals which is a fantastic match-up in itself on the field, but off the field it will help you get incredibly drunk!  And fat! Chug your beer… 1. Every time Kurt Warner and Hall of Famer are mentioned together. 2. Ever... Read Full Story
