December Report

(24th Dec) December has been a very mixed month in terms of views. With the year nearly over a lot of changes and revisions will be made to Pinoyathletics structure which you will find out about shortly. The first half of the month due to the UAAP had alot of site traffic. We were greatly helped by the results being provided as well as videos of events in a timely manner by our contacts on the ground.

We have an anticipated 15,000+ total views predicted for this month which would be good progress however site traffic seems to be slowing right now due to the Christmas break.

Call for New Writers

By Pirie Enzo

As I am based in Australia, Airnel Abarra will be arranging meetings with applicant authors, if outside Manila we can arrange a skype meeting.

Writers who are interested in writing articles for us please express intentions via email to pinoyathletics@gmail.com

.Firstly I would like to say when myself and Airnel Abarra founded ‘pinoyathletics’ which later became ‘pinoyathletics.com’ we had intended for this blog later website to become a website not just for the athletic community but also shared by the athletic community in terms of articles and opinions. For the last few months I had been producing the majority of the articles for this site. However this was a time consuming and lengthy process.

We did however gain a lot of contributing authors, quite notably US Coach Adarian Barr, NCAA Athlete Allyson Bodenbach and more recently Run4Change Founder Eric Pasion. While we did get a few offers by guest writers to write articles our niche is Firmly Track and Field news and anything relating to the sport. One of the goals of pinoyathletics.com is to produce quality articles by a variety of different authors.

It is now our mission over the next few months to meet with and recruit new authors for our website. This is a good initiative which I am in full support of as it will add variety to our website and boost the quality content of our articles.

September Report

Pirie Enzo

.

The Site did very well, in what was deemed a very quiet month in terms of Philippines Athletics to improve with about 500 more monthly visits. Pretty much even to the number of visits we had in August.  This was good considering August was the month of the Olympic Games. Things are expected to pickup with a lot of major calendar meets starting including the Uni Games Oct 24-27 in Bacolod, around 30 athletes being sent to Thailand Nov 2-5, Weekly Relay Finals and UAAP in early December.

No updated news has been placed on the Philippine Nationals originally scheduled for second week of May then postponed to September and now being held in December. Who knows how this is even going to be feasible with in such close proximity to UAAP and Christmas?

.

Some notable milestones in September include

.

• A Record ’790′ views in a day on September 16.  ’3142′ views in Week three with an average of 449 daily views.

• A lot of redundant article with low readership have been merged into larger more detailed articles. We continued to add to our legend section with articles on Elma Muros, Josephine de la Vina,  and on the late Inocencia Solis, and the late Nanette Lusterio.
• We added articles on Fil-Heritage athletes such as Alyana Nichols and others.
• The result section was greatly updated with more archived results, and we continued with our Athlete of the week with full scaled reports on each round of the Weekly Relays.
• We also added a complete listing of Filipino National Records
• A project with the revision of the UAAP and NCAA records is underway.
• Several articles very helpful articles such as ‘Toe Drag for sprinters’ and ‘shoulder rotation’ where contributed by guest writers.

August Report

Pirie Enzo

.

August was a very busy month for the team at pinoyathletics.com. With Airnel Abarra (kuyair) in Germany. It was a very busy yet rewarding second month of operation.

As you may have all noticed the blog is now registered as a domain. pinoyathletics is now pinoyathletics.com. Don’t fear however as you can still use pinoyathletics.wordpress.com if you have links as this will automatically redirect to pinoyathletics.com.

We had the buildup to the Olympic Games, The Olympic Games themselves, fortunately we had a huge back log of local athletics to fill as well as coverage of the Weekly Relays with are athlete of the week polls.  Readers enjoyed reading about Rene Herrera, Marestella Torres, and Nash Nalus this month in local athletics.

Recently we have added a Legends of Track and Field section, currently we have articles on four legends in place. Olympic bronze medalists Simon Toribio and Miguel White too wonderfully written articles by fellow blogger Joboy Quintos (Hurdler49) and two articles I have compiled from various sources on Lydia De Vega Mercado and Mona Sulaiman. Stay tuned as next week we will write a feature on the late sprinter Enrique Bautista a superstar of Philippine Athletics during the 1960s.

As well as that I have also put in are archives sections SEA Games results in full for Athletics from 1977 to 1989 (excluding 1987).

I would like to take the time to thank as of recently Ignacio Dee (who was part of the research team which assisted the previous PATAFA Statistician the late Col. Constantino), Jad Adrian Washif (SEA Statistician)  who is sending me photo copies of a very rare book of stats from 1974, and the Gintong Aloy Athletes for inviting me to there group as of recently. Also a special thank you to anyone who has contributed to the blogger and the readers.
