100k to 800k in a year isn’t that bad.

Woot!

Great job guys!

You have the best MMA site on the web IMO and you consistently put out the best articles, stories, interview, and the fan posts are great too. It used to be a toss up for me between BE and another site but you’ve ko’d them. Congrats!

This is the best MMA blog because it has the best writers. That WAMMA article by Brent Brookhouse was golden.

Well shit...

thanks!

Just so you know..

..I began posting in late May. Haha

But seriously, continued success. That’s great..

Sweet!

I myself was a lurker for a while before I decided to join. Great, great site. This and Cagepotato are really the only MMA sites I visit daily now. Congrats!

I agree

BE and Cage Potato are the best but BE is my #1 easy. I can always come here and expect to see a new article or something and I’m always checking the site.

by dedstrk911 on Nov 1, 2008 7:34 PM EDT up reply actions

I check here like 45 times a day.

That’s a fact. I rarely post, but I check for updates about every 2 hours.

Woot from a new reader!

I can only hear people on MMA videos and radio say “Bloodyelbow.com reports that……” and see storys on the Sherdog forums with “Bloodlyelbow.com says…..” before I had to check it out myself.

This and cagepotato.com are the best blogs out there. Great work guys.

Great job!

I’ve been lurking for a few months and Bloody Elbow is a quality site. The community here is also a lot less…um…“jerkass” than other MMA sites I’ve checked out.

Also…more Judo Chop or similar stuff from Kid Nate, please. The analysis of fighting techniques with gifs is really useful to me because I’ve only been watching MMA for a little over a year.

working on one today!

by Nate Wilcox on Nov 1, 2008 3:26 PM EDT up reply actions

Soon enough I’m going to start doing videos from the training room with things I’m learning that we see in the Octagon.

by Luke Thomas on Nov 1, 2008 4:09 PM EDT up reply actions

Funny – just like a couple of posters up there – I only go here for the serious stuff and cagepotato to get a good dose of MMA humor. These are the only 2 MMA sites as far as I’m concerned. I also check them both more times than Tiago’s opponents have to check leg kicks.

by Fight Genius on Nov 1, 2008 3:00 PM EDT reply actions

Sorry don't get excited

This has more to do with my OCD than anything else. wOOps!

Seriously, be proud guys. I check this way more than junkie or 5oz pain now. Both of those sites are very stale and way over moderrated with no sense of humor. This site is perfect.

Keep up the good work!

This is just the beginning.

by DirtyML on Nov 1, 2008 3:09 PM EDT reply actions

According to Firefox, I’ve visited this site 1700 times before today. :)

by IHateMMA on Nov 1, 2008 3:20 PM EDT reply actions

Mine says 700 but doing the math, that doesn’t make much sense.

by KneeToTheFace on Nov 1, 2008 3:35 PM EDT up reply actions

How do you find this out from Firefox?

by Evil-Uncle on Nov 1, 2008 4:42 PM EDT up reply actions

Could we have a repost of the YAMMA liveblog? That was absolutely hilarious.

by Ubernoober on Nov 1, 2008 6:01 PM EDT reply actions

lol… it was a classic:

June 21 YAMMA Middleweight Championship Tournament , a female superfight and a masters division superfight. Why do I get the feeling that show will never see the air?

by Nick Thomas on Nov 1, 2008 9:52 PM EDT up reply actions

I consider that live blog...

the most important thing I have ever done in my life…ever. It remains #1 after getting married, it will remain #1 after the birth of my first child and it will still be #1 if I cure cancer with common household objects.

we'll start carving your headstone now

by Nate Wilcox on Nov 2, 2008 12:37 PM EST up reply actions

at a $10 CPM this site should be generating at least $8,000 per month.

With every new post on this site there should be a snippet posted to all the mma forums with a link back to the full.

That should keep the trends going up.

And the site is not very optimized for ad revenue… so that should be improved.

by mmalogic on Nov 1, 2008 7:46 PM EDT reply actions

working on all those things.

good advice!

by Nate Wilcox on Nov 1, 2008 8:42 PM EDT up reply actions

I'm new in October

So you’re welcome in getting all those awesome stats thanks to my presence…ahem.

I used to go to another, but they got out of hand, started running advertisements in the posts which felt lame and gross, and the dudes that posted were pure ignoramuses. This place seems way better.
