 Interview with : Rick Serafin of BillsInsider.com (SabresInsider.com, BuffaloRange.com)

Interview by : Mike Gallucci, Marketing Director of Sportsmemorabilia.com

Mike: Hi Rick, first off I'd like to thank you for taking the time to talk about your sites, BillsInsider.com.  What is your background and what inspired you to launch this site?

Rick: Mike, it's my pleasure to not only meet you but do an interview with you. Nice site by the way, I can see I'll be spending more time there shopping...

The BillsInsider.com aka the BBI was created by myself 10 years back. I found out that living away from Buffalo, I was in Phoenix at the time, there was very little or no Bills information at all for those that moved away from western New York. So, I decided to start the "Buffalo Range, where the Bills fans roam" in an effort to give us out of state fans some sort of news. The Buffalo Range soon became the BBI, and with that our numbers, page views wise, were growing very rapidly. I then decided to start a message board and figured that the Range would make a great name www.BuffaloRange.com "Where Buffalo fans roam" as we now cover every sport in WNY.

M: I completely understand that.  As a transplanted New York fan down to South Florida I am always checking out sites to keep up with my favorite teams…thank god for the internet, eh?  Did you construct the site yourself?  Do you run it by yourself?

R: As far as formal or informal training goes with web designing or html, call me a dinosaur, I picked things up as I went along as there weren't many online places that taught it. Now I have a staff of over 20 guys helping run things on a daily basis.

People often ask me how much do I make from the sites (www.BillsInsider.com www.SabresInsider.com www.BuffaloRange.com) and when I reply back that I don't profit from them they are usually shocked. You see Mike, I did these sites out of the love I have for my team, the Bills and for all the other Bills fans out there. If I were into this for money I would have given up on things a long time ago. And I'm happy to say that I still have the same fire and intensity for the Bills and the fans as I did 10 years ago and I don't see any thing stopping us from going another 10 years.

Donations and contributions are encouraged to help us keep the sites relatively advertisement free and to help pay for our server costs. 100% of all money donated as well as all advertisement revenues go directly to our server www.BuffaloWebHosting.com.

M: What do you feel is your point of differentiation from other competing blogs and/or sites?

R: Mike, anyone can create a sports web site and many have. Some are outstanding and some should never have been started. We started and broke new ground with the BBI, we had original writers and still do, we had player and coach interviews and we still do and we have what no other Bills site has, great knowledgeable fan support! You're only as good as those that support or visit your site and we've had nothing but the very best fans supporting us year in and year out. There are a few Bills sites that have tried to copy us, our ideas, our reports, interviews, our forum names, our terms of service, our version of message boards and even our server but one thing they could never copy was our dedication to the team and the fans.  We actually take that as a compliment, we're glad that we are able to help other new Bills and non Bills sites get off the ground.

I've said many times, the members make the sites more than the administrators. It’s the quality of our members, their knowledge of the Bills and Sabres, and sports in general, that makes people come back.. Review the forums for a little while and you'll understand that our members' collective football (and hockey) intelligence is second to none.

M: Can you tell us a little bit about your sister sites, SabresInsider.com and BuffaloRange.com?

R: The SabresInsider.com, wow. I never thought that it would grow into the beast is has become. I have never seen a group of guys, all of which I am extremely proud of, work so hard. They took it from an average site into a site that at times, rivals the page views of the BillsInsider.com. Simply amazing.

The BuffaloRange.com or as many call it "The Range" is simply mind boggling. I've seen it grow from a few hundred members to well over 13,000 members, Bills, Sabres and just fans period. If you're from Western New York and you are a little home sick, head over to the Range, we're more than just sports; we're everything Buffalo and the area. The Range grew so big that we had to put it on a server of its own! When we had all three sites on our server at BuffaloWebHosting.com which is simply the best server we've ever been on, come game day the server would over load! I'm happy to say that we have a dedicated server just for the Range now and things couldn't be better.

M: How do you see your sites evolving in a few years down the road?  Are there any features you would like to implement which you haven't already?

Mike, as you know the web is an ever changing thing. There are always new ideas we want to try and often do try, some work and some do not. Our SabresInsider.com just went through a total face lift and site redesign, we're testing some new toys on it now and if things go well the BillsInsider.com will follow suit in the off season. This will include a podcast, live BBI radio as well as a caller hotline where fans can call in and leave a take on the Bills for other to hear.

The Range is always cutting edge as we run VBulletin; this is with out a doubt the best message board software and technical support on the planet. We have a casino as well as an arcade with up to date games as well as a shout box which is like a chat room but it's on the forums.

Streaming video is something I'm working on now, we already do live pictures from the Bills home tailgate parties but the next logical step is to stream from the lot to give those who don't have the chance to make it to a home game a look at all the fun and activities happening live.

M: Well Rick this has definitely been an interesting conversation about your sites.  I'd like to thank you for taking the time to discuss the history and future of your web network.  Good luck with the future happenings and any new ventures of BillsInsider.com, SabresInsider.com, and BuffaloRange.com!  Thanks, Rick!

R: It's been my pleasure Mike. Good luck with your site!
