ComScore, the Reston, Virginia-based tracker of consumer Internet habits, tallied 5.8 million unique visitors to SB Nation websites during the month of November 2010. That 208 percent increase over the 1.9 million unique visitors in November 2009 made SB Nation the fastest growing sports website the company tracked at that time. As of December 2010, SB Nation had 12 million unique visitors and over 100 million page views monthly; the site also announced plans to expand its scope into international sports by launching blogs focused on the English Premier League of soccer. In November 2011, Vox Media acquired MMAFighting.com from AOL; the site was integrated into SB Nation.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.mmafighting.com/2011/11/07/mma-fighting-sold-to-vox-media )〕In December 2011 ''Time'', listed SB Nation #1 in Sports, and #15 overall in its "50 Websites That Make the Web Great" list. In September 2012, SB Nation unveiled a comprehensive redesign of the website codenamed "SB United", which reconstructed the site with a unified format built around a responsive, "magazine-style" presentation with multimedia and "StoryStreams", and new circular logo designs for each one of the site's blogs. The changes came under the direction of Spencer Hall, writer of the college football blog ''Every Day Should Be Saturday'', who was named as the site's first ever editorial director, and stated that he had wanted to "corral some kind of common vision and coordination" between the individual blogs on SB Nation.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.bizjournals.com/newyork/news/2013/06/17/vox-media-credits-new-interface-with.html )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://product.voxmedia.com/2012/9/10/5426796/sb-nation-united-the-big-rebrand )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.adweek.com/news/technology/sb-nation-relaunches-hires-first-editorial-director-143967 )〕 As of July 2013, SB Nation averaged 50 million unique visitors per month a 178% increase from a year earlier.
