Dash Fans Network Glossary of Terms

Since we here at the Dash Fans Network use a few different terms such as “Partner site,” “Member site” or others, we thought it would be a good idea to define these terms so that potential members, partners, conferences sports fan sites and advertisers are not confused.

Dash Fans Network – Advertiser
An advertiser on the Dash Fans Network will most likely be someone offering a sports-related product or service. While Google and other ad companies may be found throughout some of our member sites we prefer to have targeted advertising to better serve both our users and help our advertisers get the word out to their target market. While we prefer a sports-related advertiser, other advertisers are welcome to contact the Dash Fans Network with inquiries.

Dash Fans Network – Conference Member Site
A Dash Fans Network Conference Member or Conference Member Site is a college sports fan site which is specific to some NCAA conference. The Dash Fans Network is designed to have Conference Member Sites which represent the many conferences in Division I-A college football, basketball & baseball and then have each of these conference-specific sites partner with team or school-specific sites on their own. While many Conference Member Sites may be owned and operated by the staff of the Dash Fans Network, many Member Sites may be independently owned and operated separately.

Dash Fans Network – Partner Site
A Dash Fans Network Partner Site is a team or school-specific fan site that has partnered with a Dash Fans Network-owned site. This partnership benefits both site by teaming up a Conference sports fan site with a team fan site of a school that is a member of that specific conference.

Examples of both Dash Fans Network Member and Partner sites can be found in our 2007 NCAA college football preview. Also, check out our new rankings of the top college marching bands in the nation!
