Fever-Sky most-watched regular-season game since 1997
The Indiana Fever’s clash with the host Chicago Sky on Sunday averaged 3.31 million viewers on NBC and Peacock, making it the WNBA’s most-watched regular-season game since the league’s inaugural season in 1997.
It was also the third most-watched regular-season game in league history.
The New York Liberty-Los Angeles Sparks season-opening game on June 21, 1997, averaged 5.04 million viewers. The Charlotte Sting and Phoenix Mercury tipped off the following day, with 3.59 million viewers tuning in. Those games were also broadcast on NBC.
Caitlin Clark sank a career-best eight 3-pointers to highlight a 37-point performance in the Fever’s 113-90 victory.
The teams were meeting for the first time since Indiana’s Sophie Cunningham was fouled on a breakaway by Chicago’s DiJonai Carrington during a game on Aug. 8. Carrington was ejected for a Flagrant 2 foul in the Fever’s 90-86 win.

PakarPBN
A Private Blog Network (PBN) is a collection of websites that are controlled by a single individual or organization and used primarily to build backlinks to a “money site” in order to influence its ranking in search engines such as Google. The core idea behind a PBN is based on the importance of backlinks in Google’s ranking algorithm. Since Google views backlinks as signals of authority and trust, some website owners attempt to artificially create these signals through a controlled network of sites.
In a typical PBN setup, the owner acquires expired or aged domains that already have existing authority, backlinks, and history. These domains are rebuilt with new content and hosted separately, often using different IP addresses, hosting providers, themes, and ownership details to make them appear unrelated. Within the content published on these sites, links are strategically placed that point to the main website the owner wants to rank higher. By doing this, the owner attempts to pass link equity (also known as “link juice”) from the PBN sites to the target website.
The purpose of a PBN is to give the impression that the target website is naturally earning links from multiple independent sources. If done effectively, this can temporarily improve keyword rankings, increase organic visibility, and drive more traffic from search results.
