UKNM: What to do to make it pay...

[Archer, Jon]

Hi,


Myself and a small group of friends own the domain name www.6nations.co.uk

<http://www.6nations.co.uk>  which, unsurprisingly, is a site dedicated to

the Six Nations Rugby tournament. We're fast approaching our second season

of covering the tournament (it runs Feb - Apr 2001) and find ourselves

already getting around 2000 page requests daily. From our experiences during

the year 2000 tournament (we got 15000 page requests avg. per day) where we

had very limited bandwidth and no promotion as such we feel certain this is

going to grow massively for the next season. We reckon easily 40,000 per day

during the tournament this year.


My question is, how the heck do we make some money out of this, besides the

obvious affiliate programs?


Specifically, we seem to be completely unable to sell advertising space -

should we be using an agency or broker of some kind? Could we sell the site?


Any comments or advice very gratefully received.


Regards,


Jon
