OleOle UGC Soccer Site Acquires Eight More Fan Blogs
OleOle, the Beverly Hills-based soccer community that’s trying to get fans to write the editorial, has followed its recent acquisition of the Arseblog Arsenal weblog by buying eight more independent football fan blogs. The site has snapped up The Lord of the Wing (Celtic), Chelseablog, Harry Hotspur, Fans del Real Madrid, Real Madrid Talk and Boca Juniors Fans, plus wallpapers sites Soccer-Art.co.uk and Football-Spot.
The acquisition prices aren’t disclosed but are likely small or even nil – the carrot for the sites is more visibility that has been promised by OleOle. Each is moving to oleole.com. The Lord of the Wing wrote: “It was an oppertunity I couldnae miss.” It’s certainly a risk – many of the bloggers have spent years cultivating a club-specific audience on their independent sites; will those readers want to be part of a larger football chat universe?

You didn't ask me what I thought!
And you hint towards mediocrity with your "small or even nil" remark. Bad form.
C'mon. Raise your game.
Why Ole Ole?
Ole Ole's combination of passion, wit and superior firepower.
There are any number of football websites out there.
Ole Ole beats them all by a country mile.
The Ole Ole offer is enormous and the only limitation lies with the appetite of the visitor.
My only question would be how I got past security…
What do I expect?
World domination whist eating chicken wings and sipping imported ice cold beers.
HH Out.
I don't know about acquisition costs, but the man behind arseblog now gets 6,000 Euros per month for his troubles. I assume the rest will be somewhere along those lines, although differing based on how big the blog was at the time of acquisition.
