7 October 2008 2,857 views 25 Comments

When we launched the Widgetbox Blog Network a couple weeks ago, you probably noticed that the Sports Channel was powered by Yardbarker.com.

Well today, we have officially launched the Yardbarker Network Widget – which features the best content from Yardbarker’s network of 600+ sports blogs. You can create your own widget by choosing either a favorite team or sport. The widget then is dynamically updated with the freshest, most popular content from Yardbarker.

You can create your own widget by visiting Yardbaker and if you are a sports blogger, you are encouraged to join the Yardbarker Network and have your content seen by their network’s 10,000,000 monthly uniques.

Here are some timely examples of widgets – one for the Boston Red Sox and one for the NFL:

For more information, you can read Mashable’s coverage today:

When Widgetbox debuted its blog network last month at BlogWorldExpo, I described it as “Web rings 2.0.” Today, that vision has come a bit more full circle, as the company has announced a partnership with Yardbarker that will feature Widgetbox Sports Channel widgets being dropped on the more than 600 sports-related blogs in Yardbarker’s network. The deal is exclusive, meaning if you want to participate in the Widgetbox Sports Channel, you’ll also need to join Yardbarker.

    Great news for all sports blogger. This will help doubling their traffic flow to their blogs. With news dynamically updated, they will not be afraid of missing out any news and do not need to constantly check sports new website for updates.

    Having thoughts of collaborating with widgetbox is a good choice as many will be hoping to receive news every moment without trouble. This will attract numerous young generation supports as the widgets layout is changeable.

  • Ryan LowNo Gravatar said:

    Widgetbox will gladly accept integration with well-known companies so as to drive more users to utilize widgets from them. This will in turn increase traffic for both sides. If there are more than one collaboration, I don’t see why widgetbox can’t get the first place this year for the widgets category award.
