As a blogger of both a personal site and this food site I have to take the time to do all my own marketing for my site. Everything from choosing the design of the blog, to choosing advertising, to monetizing my site. This site is now over 1 years old and has come a long way since its inception in October 2008.

I recently came across a new blog aggregator (a site that centralizes blog posts from multiple sites into one site, think of it as a kind of index…) called FoodBlogs.com. They currently have several hundred food blogs from around the world and its a great centralized place to view content from hundreds of food blogs. What a great way to drive traffic to my site right? FoodBlogs.com is not unique in that there are several other food blog aggregators like FoodBuzz.com, the FoodBlogLog.com, FoodieBlogRoll.com and others. FoodieInDisguise is a member of the last three mentioned aggregators. With the thousands of sites that talk about food it’s nice to have a place(s) where you can search and skim through thousands of posts to find what you want.

There is such diversity in all the types of food blogs that are out there. Some blogs focus mainly on just recipes, while others only talk about food products. Others still might only talk about where the best deals are on the ingredients for your next meal or only feature appliances and gadgets to use in your kitchen. This blog, as you well know, covers probably all of those topics and more.

I tried to sign up so that my blog listings would be aggregated on FoodBlogs.com but was rejected since my blog doesn’t contain 80% recipes. You wouldn’t know it from their main page or most pages on their site that they only cater to recipe sites – not just food blogs. It’s unfortunate, I think they have a good thing going over there.

Anyway…if you are looking for a good recipe aggregator try out FoodBlogs.com. The site is clean and very well organized. The search feature is fast and they give you the ability to have favorites as well as sorting my title, number of posts and when the last blog entry was for a blog. They also have a “hide feed” function. I assume that is so that you never see listings from a particular blog. Interesting.

In addition to a recipe aggregator you can also try out some recipe websites like Food.com, Epicurious.com or AllRecipes.com – all great sources for great recipes through and through.
