Everyday a new food blog arrives to the blogosphere each with their own style of food, cuisine or a completely different take on the whole food blog thing. There are some great food blog concepts like 101cookbooks by Heidi Swanson and Chubby Hubby to name just two.
One of the initial challenges for any food blogger is to build reputation and traffic to their food blog. One of the strategies should be to setup with Food Blog Aggregators to syndicate your content to them. These food blog aggregators then republish your content (sometimes it’s just an extract) to their site for people to read. They all provide a link back to your original post. When you post again on your food blog, within the hour your blog post will be republished on the aggregation site.
Using food blog aggregators is also a great way to get some traction in the search engine as they already have significant page rank.
The main food blog aggregators;
Food Candy
Food Blogs Live
360 Eats
Food Porn Watch
Blog Appetite
Each has their own way of registering, but usually it’s as simple as sending them an email or filling out a basic form to advise them of your blog. After you are registered each has their own way of updating your content, some simply connect to your RSS feed and pull in your content, others are alerted by a simple ping.
