There's three within immediate catching distance, then we've got to go some. They're all going up (except CricketUnlimited and Lords.org, we're trashing the UK establishment!), but we're rising the fastest. However, our links total is nothing short of awful. Let's sort that soon.
The above sites also suggest that targeting the Indian market would be a success. Then we can start charging for advertising, and advertising ourselves. Hmm... 2005 Ashes series, we can have CricketWeb.net advertising like CricInfo's round Lord's...
As for those wondering who Robbo is that Marc's talking of...
Cricketweb, 10/25/02
Reviewer: Robbo
A superb site, created by those that have the game at heart. Thriving forums, helped no doubt by a PBEM that has grown out of all proportions. All in all, one to visit. 5/5
Sites Liking to CW listed are:
NNM.ru (erm... Russian Warez site... what the??!)
CricketGames.com
SavageNews.com
SatLink.com.au
EssexCricket.com
The Trends page suggests that we've hit 70,000+ on some days this month, keep rising people!
