I decided I wanted to start a food blog but had no idea what the first step would be. This was a huge help and although I'm barely starting out, I am making progress! I'll definitely be looking back to this site as I have more questions and get farther along. I just want to thank you for such an instructive post.

If one plans to make a food blog, it is definitely essential to have a good web design, if possible one that highlights every food you post. After that, it simply boils down to how you seo your blog for it to gain some traffic. Wicked advice man!

One could have quite a hard time to find all the information listed here. I am also using Google Reader and Feedburner but wasn't able to keep the ball rolling. It seems to be very important to keep on blogging. I just jumped up from PageRank 1 to 2 without doing anythink else but waiting, and posting. Thanks for the great post.

I've been trying to drive up my traffic for the past month by submitting to blog carnivals and so forth without much success. I never knew about Tastespotting until I read your post and overnight, my traffic shot up by a good 40% (literally!) Very useful post.

I don't really want to be another sharecropper in the service of Google. It isn't just the clicks on ads from the tech sites, it is also the more nebulous goals that they tend not to deliver like growth in average time spent on site or proportion of comments left. Phnomenon is still a bit over the top on the ad front, once you start clicking deep into the pages. Yep, I’ve practically removed ads from this site – I earn more from selling my content elsewhere.

Just a idea on why you might see no advertising clicks when people come in from tech sites. Geeks tend to know their way round a browser and an ad blocker. I've just been looking at both this site and phnomenon and I haven't seen any ads at all. Or did you take them all off? :) Hi.
