    Hey guys,

    I have a wrestling blog that I would like to promote. Just submitting each story to digg and getting 10 or so diggs + the odd stumble from stumble upon it is getting around 60 UV daily. I am looking for a way to promote it, if need be I will invest into it but looking for free - cheaper options at first. I currently have adsense on the site so nothing that violates their TOS.

    Also I do post daily and unique content so that isn't the worry, I have submitted to around 4 high traffic blog toplists but am running out of ideas. I decided to pick this niche as it is something I enjoy doing but I would like to make some money from it. Anyway, if you need to know what the site it, www.wrestlingweekly.net

    Thanks for any comments/opinions,
    Daniel :)

    Join wrestling forums and write posts with your blog as citations. That'll probably bring in some loyal readers.

    Thanks for the idea, one problem with the idea is there are not a lot of BIG wrestling forums so that probably won't be effective, I have added to msn btw.

    Are you writing bios of the individual wrestlers? I've read a couple of autobiographies and inside info on the wrestlers was very interesting. Things like their real names, how they got started, where they've and things like that should get you a number of loyal readers to see who you're going to profile.

    Meh, that's been done bro - OnlineWorldOfWrestling.com, ObsessedWithWrestling.com

    The wrestling niche is very saturated, a lot of the top websites have inside sources that provide them with quality news/rumours, and then all of the other websites just copy that information and republish it on their websites.

    BTW, there are tons of huge wrestling forums, WrestleZone, GameFAQs, WrestlingFigs, etc.

    Take it from me, it may or may not be your passion, but there's not much money to be made from the wrestling niche unless you've got something unique to offer that wrestling fans will want.

    Have you done any SEO for your websites. If you are writing unique content, if you make them in the format of separate articles and increased your backlinks, you could receive traffic related to the keywords in each article.
