So when the Nuggets played a flawless game in Game 1 and blew it down the stretch, I thought that was their chance. They played a perfect game but couldn’t close. I figured tonight the Lakers would come out and show them who is really boss at home. Well, as everyone saw tonight that wasn’t the case. Look for Chauncey and Carmelo to go home and take care of business and the Lakers will find themselves down 3 games to 1.
Thoughts from the game and the rest of the series:
Since when does Kobe only take 20 shots in a Laker’s playoff loss
Kobe will take no less then 25 shots a game for the rest of the series
The Denver crowd will be going bucknutty on Saturday
Derrick Fisher is old
Lamar Odom needs to step up his game
The Lakers have no heart:Â their defense shows
Chauncey Billups may be the most underrated player in the NBA
Anyone want to know the last time Chauncey Billups has not made it to the NBA conference Finals? 2001-2002 Amazing
With all the new blogs that have come aboard on SportsBlogNet over the last couple of months I thought it would be a good idea to write a post on how to get more readers to your site. Â Just writing posts isn’t going to do it. Â Yes, you have a community of readers on SportsBlognet but at this point in time we are small but growing. To get the full benefit out of blogging you will need to promote your site outside of SportsBlogNet.
2. Linking to other sites: Â This is very easy. Â Many of the best Sports Blogs link out to other sites and if you link out to small blogs I can gurantee they will come to your site because everyone loves getting a link to their site. Â Example: Â The Big Lead does a roundup every morning and they post a bunch of links with a hot chick. Â IMPORTANT: Â Make sure you find smaller blogs to link to. Â The bigger ones won’t care and don’t have time to come read your site. Also, don’t bother linking to Espn or any other big site unless you have to. Â There won’t be any benefit to your blog if you do this.
3. Social Networking:  Make sure you are promoting your posts on Facebook, MySpace, and Twitter.  If you don’t have a Twitter account get one.  If say for example you are writing a Brewers Blog you can use the twitter search and search “Brewers Fan” .  Then you can follow all people that come up in that search since you are targeting Brewers Fans.  TheRopolitans have done a great job of utilizing Twitter and use their twitter polls to drive people to their site.
4. Forums: Â Are you a part of any Sports Forums? Â Promote your stories there. Â Don’t just join forums to post articles as they will ban you for sure. Â Make sure you become a quality member of the forum before you start posting links.
5. Link Bait: Â This is a tough one. You need to be very creative. Â You need to think of the future, target a top blogger, be creative, or do some research. Â You want to write something that will give all the top blogs no choice but to link to you. Â Obviously a player review or a game recap is not going to cut it. Â This needs to be very original. Â Today Deadspin linked up No Guts No Glory because they found out Notre Dame ommitted proof of Charlie Weis’ losing season in their 2009 spring prospectus.
6. Interact: Â Make sure you join the conversation especially here at sportsblognet and other blogs that you like. Â They won’t mind if you leave a link to your site as long as you are making good comments. Â Smaller sports blogs love to see comments on their sites.
Here are some of the new blogs that have joined SportsBlogNet:
The most notable player on this list is Rafael Palmeiro and he really wasn’t a star. Â Now we know about all the rumors of star players like Arod and Clemens testing positive and the MLB sweeping it under the rug. Â I think its pretty easy to realize someone like Manny Ramirez would be a perfect target. Â He is a star but no one really likes him except Dodgers fans and people that have him on their fantasy team.
To be honest though I can’t believe Manny would be dumb enough to test positive but then again he is Manny. Â Supposedly his defense will be that he was given medication prescribed by a doctor which is usually everyones defense. Â You would think the doctors/scientists he would hire would be way ahead of the curve then any MLB testing standard but I guess not.
This morning a friend called me and told me to bet the Giants to win the West. Â With their staff pitching the way it is and the Dodgers losing Manny it may not be a bad idea. Â It may take the odds a few days to adjust. Â The Giants are right there and the Dodgers are obviously not going to continue to go undefeated at home.
Alright, so I am a little late on this one. Â For those of you that don’t know, SportsCenter has a new feature on the morning show called BlogBuzz. Â They basicaly rank the top stories of the morning as reported by blogs. Â They also quote a few blogs as well and give credit to the site which is pretty cool. Â Â Here is the video of this mornings buzz:
After doing some quick research I found that the brain child behind BlogBuzz is SportsMediaChallenge and Kathleen Hessert.  Sports Media Challenge is the company behind getting Shaq on Twitter as well.  They use a propietary algorithm to crawl the web to find the stories most talked about on sports blogs.  In this podcast interview Kathleen discusses how the alogorithim works.
SportsMediaChallenge also ranks top blogs based on a combination of their traffic, community, and influence. Â You can view the list on their front page. Â They also have a ranking for top blogs by sport. Â For all you bloggers out there these are a perfect list of sites to send links to if you think you have the inside on a story or something really interesting that you have written about.

By no means do I agree with Manny Ramirez taking PEDs but this is really the first time a star baseball player has been suspended for his use. Â
