I am very proud to introduce to you my latest website, Mugdish.

So what is Mugdish? Mugdish is a new sports blog with outspoken banter written by yours truly. Sports is only of the only topics I can constantly write about and not get bored with it, so it was only natural to create another sports site!

Mugdish isn’t just a regurgitation of news posted on espn.com or sportsline.com. I’m adding my own wit and satire to it. The draw to the website will be the “Make the world a better place, punch this athlete in the face” posts. You can view an example of this in my Larry Johnson post. Once I get a lot of readers, I hope people will steal those “punch in the face” images and post them around the internet, all the while telling people where they found it.

Currently, I have posted about 10 or so articles. I wanted to get some content on it before I “launched” it. I’ve also added a forum and weekly polls to help keep readers on the site.

I’m not quite sure of the goals I have for Mugdish, but I’d ideally like this site to be making $300/mo by the end of the year with a readership in the mid 100s/day. I’d also love to have a custom wordpress design in place by the end of 2007.

I also would love to have guest posters established within a few months. Readers of sports blogs can get tired of hearnig the same opinion and homerism over and over again. It would be nice to have a fresh voice on there.

So how am I going to promote the site from the get go? Well, my budget is slim to none, so I think I’ll start by posting comments on as many sports blogs as I can find. I’ll also ask lesser known sports blogs for link exchanges. I want to load up my blogroll with 20-30 other sports blogs in a week. I plan to stumble every post I make too. I’m not sure if my IP is banned by digg, so if not, I’ll submit some of my better posts to Digg.

Pretty simple stuff. I was able to get my very first website (a sports blog) up to 200-300 uniques/day by writing content and doing link exchanges, so I don’t see a reason why it can’t work again 2 years later.

If you have any tips or suggestions on how to improve the site, please feel free to critique!
