On just one day, Saturday, February 21st, 2009, our readers went through a total of 22,429 pages (or page views), a new record for the site.

After clocking in at 660th position on December 12th, Red Sports has moved up 193 places in the Alexa rankings. We now rank at 467th in terms of traffic for sites visited by Singapore-based surfers.

Red Sports is the only site of its kind in Singapore dedicated to telling the Singapore sports story.

As some of our regular readers already know, this site is a private initiative and we have no official ties with the Singapore Sports Council, Ministry of Community Development, Youth and Sports and the Ministry of Education.

We believe that the story is worth telling and readers who believe in our mission have jumped in to volunteer their time and effort to write the stories and shoot the pictures.

We do it because this is where we grew up and where we came from.

We do it because there is no place like home and our talented athletes deserve to have their stories told.

Here’s the latest score (traffic rank in Singapore):

REDSPORTS.SG – 467th (up from 660 on December 12th)
togoparts.com – 470
espnstar.com – 501
soccernet.com – 559
sleague.com (owned and funded by FAS) – 578
theonlinecitizen.com (non-sports) – 1,257
mrbrown.com (non-sports) – 1,635
sgrunners.com – 2,674
sporton.com.sg (owned and funded by SSC/IDA) – 3,073
singaporesports.sg (owned and funded by SSC) – 8,468
adrenaline.sg (funded by MDA) – 8,735
sportingsingapore.com (owned by Times Publishing Group) – 13,230
tnppostman.com (owned and funded by The New Paper, Singapore Press Holdings) – 71,360

We are a small site without the resources of a conglomerate or a government statutory board. So it’s gratifying for us to still still outrank some of the big boys in the industry.

As a sign of how Red Sports has become part of the fabric of Singapore even on non-sport matters, the search term “singapore cabinet reshuffle” on google ranks us fourth. Go figure.

To our 30,000 to 49,000 readers every month, thanks for reading Red Sports regularly and keeping us company.

Red Sports. Always Game.
