We are still a non-profit site, but it costs money order to continue to build and archive content, especially audio and video files. Our traffic continues to increase (over 1,000,000 hits per year) as more people find out about rowanfootball.com. Advertising helps defray some of the costs in keeping the site running. We've lost money every year since inception in 2002. We will still probably lose money again in 2005. But a little ad revenue will help. We are looking for advertisers that want to reach the Rowan Community. See our advertising requirements. If you are interested in advertising contact webmaster@rowanfootball.com.

Does rowanfootball.com cover every game during the season? We try. There are two people that cover most of the games, but we'd like to have at least two people taking pics and contributing to games stories at most or all of the games. It would be a nice opportunity for an aspiring photojournalist or sports junkie to add to their resume. The site has been growing in popularity since its inception in August 2002. Rowanfootball.com is in the top ten for Rowan football searches amongst major search engines. We had alumni as far away as Russia listening to WGLS football highlights. We average 20-25,000 hits per week in season, Offseason we average 8-10,000 hits per week. When is rowanfootball.com going to have more records, stats, and pictures from past seasons? We are working on developing a positive relationship with Rowan University and the other NJAC schools. In 2002, our first year of operation, we spent time knocking on doors trying to get access to information from SID offices at the various NJAC schools. In 2003, some doors slowly started to open. We are hoping to keep improving our relationships with the various schools in 2005. I'm a [Rowan football player, or parent of a player] why don't you put up a picture of [me, of my son]? I/He plays [fill in the blank]? See the above answer. Some doors are starting to open... stay tuned. We don't have field access at every school to take pictures. At some schools, we are resigned to taking photos from the fence line surrounding the various fields. We are limited to shots between the 20 yard line and the endzone. Many good photo opportunities are blocked by sideline personnel. We will do our best to get as many quality photos of the players and coaches as our access permits.
