NESW Sports Experiment Foregone Conclusion

I started an experiment on this blog 6-16-2008. I was going to do several things for a month, but mostly I was going to write more. I was going to show the stats at the end of the experiment etc… I was going to have some bloggers I know give their insight on the experiment.

Well, after a little after 2 weeks I have come to a foregone conclusion. I do not need to continue the experiment any further. This is what I learned.

1. One of the points of the experiment was to test my writing skills. I learned my writing is just OK. I know this and I am happy with it. I will try to write more, so I can grow a readership. I will continue to do the “ESPN’s The Sports Reporters Live Scoring Game” on Sundays. I might do more features in the future.
2. I missed posting videos. :-) I really did. That is what a lot of people come here for the most. I kind of have a knack for finding good videos. I will go back to doing that more.
3. I linked to more blogs in the past couple weeks and read a lot more blogs. I realized more and more that I like the Sporting Bloggers blogs the most.  Awful Announcing, Mr. Irrelevant, EDSBS, and The Sporting Blog etc…
4. During the experiment my stats stayed around the same. The reason for that is that my writing is just OK. This is a part time blog for me, so I do not have the time to break serious news and have in depth interviews etc… My Google traffic stayed the same.
5. I did not like getting the same amount of traffic. NESW Sports has always been on the upswing. I did not like the lull. That is why I cut the experiment short. That  and because I saw the writing on the wall. I already knew the outcome.

Conclusion. I will write more, but I want this to be the best place to get breaking videos, funny videos, and classic videos. I do not think I will be doing any more experiments.
