Hey Jason, not sure what that tool is but I wish it had picked up Asia Pacific’s largest sports networking site wwws.sportingconnections.com. Thousands of users and growing daily. Anyway, good idea getting the list together
Cheers

The latest sports social network to BETA is http://www.ballz.com/ – brilliant for both disabled and abled bodies sports – for ALL sports, over 200 listed and more going on every day. The league capability is being updated currently to use ‘Fixtures Live’ code.

There’s a Ballz Jounalist scheme that anyone can get involved with promoting grassroots jounalism, SMS capability and a shop to buy just about any piece of sporting equipment available for just about all sports and It’s still in the BETA stages so feel free to feedback your comments Jason!

Best regards and thanks, Jennie

Hey Lisa,

Sorry I missed you, but according to dnScoop (which of course is the ultimate valuation tool…kidding) thelotd wouldn’t have made the top 50.

It’s a crime that http://www.thelotd.com didn’t make the list. Best sports social network ever!

Dean,

Sorry I missed your site. And yeah this was completely for fun and not meant to be a true representation of any site’s real value–just one fun way to compare a bunch of sites.

Jason…I am glad that you put the disclaimer in your article that this is just for fun. Because a sites true valuation is based on a lot more criteria than dnScoop.

For example, management team, existing funding, content, users, market size/potential, partnerships, and I could name 100 more factors.

Not to mention the fact that Alexa is not regarded as a reliable source to gauge traffic. Quantcast, Compete, and Comscore are all more reliable. Also…for newer sites, it takes a while for any of those tracking sites to catch up with traffic data.

Our site, http://www.prepchamps.com is ranked 477,655 on Alexa and 59,948 on Quantcast. Quantcast shows that we are attracting 32,000 uniques. In fact, we use several analytic tools, but for simplicity sake, our Google analytics show that we attracted over 75,000 uniques this month. But our site is only 3 months old and we have only been marketing it for 2 month. So those numbers will continue to explode.

But if you do want to use dnScoop, we are valued at $37,183. So we should be #28 on your list. But for the record…our valuation is about 270x higher than that.

But great blog and keep up the good work. You do a great job tracking the sites in the space.

Thanks for the information Jason. I wonder which sports social networking site is valued the highest with all variables included, (not just from dnScoop). Any ideas?

Thanks

Hey Mark,

Good point. Sorry I left you off.

Hey Jason, I know the list isn’t exhaustive but on dnScoop’s totem pole, areyouwatchingthis.com would slide in at #16…
