Food Bloggers -- Get Visitors and Exposure from BigOven.com!

Are you a Food Blogger? Want more traffic to your food blog?

NEW: BigOven now offers automatic Linkbacks, on every recipe and Food Glossary page.

Simply by grabbing a short piece of HTML from BigOven and placing it on your blog, your food-blog post will automatically be reciprocally linked from the appropriate page on BigOven.com, and you’ll gain more traffic.

For instance, if you're writing about a dish that uses rice, and want your readers to know about rice, visit the BigOven Food Glossary entry on Rice, and grab the linking code, and place it on your post.

BigOven will notice it right away, and, once an editor here reviews your blog post and ensures its relevant to the topic at hand, we’ll link back to you.

The same holds true for recipes.

How Might You Use It?

Let’s say you’ve got a blog on easy, budget cooking, and you’re writing about the start of the grilling season. You want to highlight a couple easy grilled chicken recipes for your readers. If you’ve discovered the “Easy Grilled Chicken Marinade” recipe, you might find that an appropriate one to include in your blog post.

Simply visit that recipe’s page on BigOven, scroll to the “Bloggers, have you written about ‘Easy Grilled Chicken?” callout (at this writing, you’ll find it about three quarters down the page), and click on the “Add Your Link” section. Then, choose which Linkback Badge you’d like, and place the HTML on your page.

That’s it! In a day or so, BigOven will start linking back to your blog, driving traffic to you, and increasing your search engine presence. (BigOven serves millions of unique users each month.)

New BigOven Community Server

stevemur — Mon, 28 Aug 2006 02:29:00 GMT

Welcome to the new BigOven Community Server.

This new platform supports:

Message Board
Blogging
Tagging
Polls
... and more.

From a design standpoint, we think this new platform is significantly easier to read. From a technical standpoint, it seems to be a little more responsive, and it uses the same underlying language as our Recipe Archive, which should make it easier to integrate down the line.

Are you interested in writing a blog about cooking? We can host it for you for free, including photos and more. Just let us know what food/diet/nutrition-related subject you'd like to write about.
