About Barstoolsports
from our crawl and measurement
Barstoolsports is a Smithtown, NY business whose own site puts it this way: "Barstool Sports is a sports & pop culture blog covering the latest news and viral highlights of each and everyday with blogs, videos and podcasts. By the common man, for the common man." Measured against the twelve signals AI engines rely on, it scores 7.1 out of 10, a strong showing.
On its own pages the site does well on crawler access and the files AI engines look for and sitemaps and entity links AI can follow. It is passable on a workable page structure. What holds it back is a clearly stated business identity, credibility markers like credentials or reviews and structured data describing the business.
Off the page, other sites link to it, the domain reads as established, AI engines recognise it as a distinct business, it turns up in press coverage, people discuss it in places AI engines read and it comes up on Reddit.
AI crawlers have visited 3 times in our tracking, including GPTBot (ChatGPT) and ClaudeBot (Anthropic). It does link out to several social profiles, which helps engines tie the brand together. The business dates to 2003.
