College Football Bowls and Betting

[Greg]

It's time for college football teams here in the US to start preparing for their bowl games. From an affiliate perspective this gives us all 1 month to hammer out some sites and see what happens. I've seen this tried with major football matches, mini sites (using bet365) and then SEO all the terms around it. Would it be viable to do small sites in a network based on the major (just BCS maybe) games? Ever been done before?

I would have started earlier, but I am sure it wouldn't be to hard to purchase like "SugarBowlOdds.com" "BetonSugarBowl.com" and get it ranking within a month or so.

Looks like BetUS is getting a little into the bowl marketing mix themselves now. Just saw this from them in my inbox - Affiliate Newsletter: Bowl Game Contest

I think you're on to something pretty awesome here. Niche sites that feature major games (besides the Super Bowl) are great. It's basically like getting a ton of organic 'ppc' traffic. Very time sensitive but really rewarding for the work involved. You should create SugarBowlOdds.com and see what happens

Alright I took you up on this - I didn't target the Sugar Bowl, but it was something similar. I'll make a blog post before and after about it once the site gets indexed.

With that said anyone have sports related sites to do a resource page or in content exchange?

For Greg or anyone interested the site I created was BCS Odds - focused on the BCS National Championship game and also the other BCS bowls for college football. I got the site up on December 16th and it took about a week to get indexed. I have been getting a couple of hits per day from the SERPs.

I will update this thread with how it does.
