How to get your blog included in the Food Blog Search engine

Is your food blog included in the search engine? You can check by doing a search for your blog's title or URL. If your blog shows up in the results, it's being searched. If you have a food blog that isn't currently included in the search engine we'd love to know about it. Send a note to us at admin AT foodblogsearch [dot} com and we'll get to it within a day or two. For this particular search engine, the criteria we follow when adding a site are:

  • Written in English
  • Subject is about food and cooking
  • Provides a substantial number of recipes, most original or adapted and not just copied word for word from other sites
  • Includes accompanying stories or notes
  • Offers attractive original photos or illustrations
  • Follows classic scratch-cooking methods with whole food ingredients
  • Presented in a blog format, including comments
  • Is at least a month old, with at least 20 entries
  • Is a current, active blog, with at least 2 entries a month
  • Includes an "About" section with information about the blog author(s)
All criteria must be met to be considered for inclusion. We are not interested in adding blogs that appear to have been created purely to take advantage of Adsense, large commercial food company blogs, blogs too focused on self-promotion, blogs that violate the intellectual property rights of others, or blogs that participate in paid product reviews such as PayPerPost. To protect the trust between food bloggers and food blog readers, we reserve the right to exclude blogs which do not meet our selection criteria.
