Draft Hub
 
If you don't already know about it, you really should acquaint yourself with this site.

Players | NFL Draft Hub

It's a fantastic resource for players in the draft. Not only do you get to see combine results on the main player list, if you click through to a player page, you'll see those combine numbers represented in an appealing way and links to all the scouting reports for that player on the web. I find it much nicer to use than CBSsports.

A cheap imitation. ;)

I love that RGIII has a significantly faster 40 time than Morris Claiborn!

The Draft Hub guys are great. I love the fact that they actually link to the sites, rather that just copy / paste the scouting reports onto their own site.

Talked with their main guy Steve a couple of days ago, they have some great things planned.

Actually, it's 1000X faster and user-friendly if you cut + paste and Link to all the Sites, as I do.

That way, the readers can scroll up and down and read all the Reports on one page.

And they can also jump right into the Sites that provided the Content.

Beats the snot out'f having to open up multiple windows and slow your connection speed to a crawl as you toggle back and forth between 8 Sites, trying to remember what you read on the others...which is precisely why I created the Site in the first place.

I don't want to get into an argument, but know that when you Copy / Paste entire scouting reports you are hurting those sites more than you think. Google penalizes them for duplicated content and they are seeing no gain for their effort.

Nonsense.

I am driving traffic their way with every single Report.

FAR more importantly: One of Google's most important features ~ perhaps its most vital, signature feature ~ is that PageRank is heavily influenced by something called BackLinks ~ Links from one Site to another ~ and my Site is loaded with literally THOUSANDS of BackLinks to those other Sites.

I am performing a service not only for Draftniks but for those very Sites.

For someone who "doesn't want to get into an argument", you're being pretty argumentative. :rolleyes:

Perhaps you should've gotten your facts straight before your unprovoked and deliberately misleading attack on my Site. It's bad enough that you deliberately misled anyone reading this thread with your thinly-veiled reference to my Site, by claiming that those Reports weren't linked, when every last one clearly is...But not having the dignity or courtesy to retract your deliberately misleading nonsense shows a complete lack of class.

If you think you are helping those sites, you aren't, whether you link to them or not. Citing "page rank" is quite out-dated.

Have you had the dignity or courtesy to ask permission to copy others intellectual property in its entirety? Draft Hub asked for permission before using any and all of our and other resources. There is a right way to do things.

Ask any one of the guys that run those sites, I'll give you their emails if you'd like, whether they feel that you are doing them a service. I can almost guarantee they will ask you to kindly quit.

Right.

Continuing this conversation is beneath me.

Have a nice day.
