A final note in relation to blogs without rankings
There are a few reasons why some blogs don’t have a rank:
- Newer blogs will not have an Alexa ranking
- Low traffic
- Livejournal: Alexa doesn’t support this blogging platform regardless of traffic. This affects three blogs: absolute ayana, does my bomb look big in this and oh ayana. Which is a pity because, for example, noodlies reckons does my bomb look big in this is an established and popular blog .
Next update?
Noodlies intends to publish the next list on 1 December 2013 and then quarterly after that (resources depending, it’s a bit of work!).
Feedback?
- Your Sydney food blog isn’t listed? Leave a comment and I’ll add for the next round.
- Do you find this list and the ranking useful?
- Any suggestions or feedback?
Share your feedback by leaving a comment :).
Until then, happy reading!
Wow. Amzing work. Would have taken ages to do. Thanks.
A while, but worth it.. and besides, the next update isn’t for another 3 months 🙂
Yay, I really look forward to these posts of yours noodlies, it’s a great way for me to discover new blogs. 🙂 Thanks so much for the work you put into it!
Same here Amanda, one of the joys of doing this is that I get to read (v briefly) the whole range of food blogs
amazing work (and cheers to the amount of work it would have taken)
No probs.. I actually enjoy it, get to quickly read a lot of blogs!
Hi there Noodlies!
Can you please add my blog – Daily Gluttony – to the next round?
http://www.dailygluttony.wordpress.com
Thank you! x
Will do Jessica, thanks for getting in touch.
Hey Jessica,
Went to add your blog and unfortunately you’re based in Young – this list is for Sydney based bloggers at the moment, sorry.
Hi Thang!
Sorry just saw this now. Not a worry – I am from Sydney originally so thought maybe it could work! Hopefully you can open it up to NSW in the future.
Thank you : )
Thanks for all the work that goes into this thang! 🙂
Pleasure Tina, I enjoyed it. And the next one isn’t for another 3 months 🙂
Wow, good work Thang 🙂
Thanks Dolly!
WOW for a newish blog, my rating completely took me by surprise!! I’m so happy!!
What a great list, thanks for doing this Thang, I bet it must take a lot of work.
You did, really really well Lisa, well done!
Hi Thang,
How interesting to read these rankings! Thanks for the effort.! Could you please add my blog for next round 🙂 Cheers,
-V
Sure, Vivienne 🙂
thanks! did not know i was even in the list 🙂
Enjoy 🙂
This Thang your doing is AMAZING! As a new blogger I am overwhelmed Nessy Eater is even in this list 😀 Thank you for effort!!! 😀
Pleasure, strangely I enjoy doing these things 🙂 And glad to see you on the list!
This list makes me so happy! So many sydney food bloggers, I may well find myself sitting hours just clicking through the links to discover some lovely new blogs! Thank you so much, it is very useful indeed! And to think you’re going to make this an ongoing project and inviting new bloggers to join- you are the coolest! I’d love to be part of your next list!
No probs Irene will add you to the next run 🙂
So much work to put this together. Just a question though – there was a considerable amount of movement (up and down) for so many blogs. What else changed between the last time you ran the Alexa rank? If there’s that much variation in just a few months, is this the best metric to use? Is there a combination of a few different ranks you could use, weighting each one?
Hard to say why there’s been changes, speaking for my site, I’ve noticed significant increase in traffic in past six weeks – if I had to guess overall, seems like most blogs have had decent increase in traffic. An average of ranking system would be good but there’s no other comparable system – Urbanspoon for example is not a traffic ranking system and more importantly doesn’t include recipe sites 🙂
Oh wow fantastic list! Props for putting everything together – a big thank you 😀
My blog is still pretty new, but I’d love to be included in your next list! You’ve got a pretty extensive list as it is, but Baking with Gab would love to be on there too 🙂
For sure Gabby, I’ll add to the list for the next run and nice to meet you 🙂
Hi, Thanks for making such a great list. I live in Sydney and have a food blog would love it if you could add it
Sure, will add you to the list for the next run 🙂
Hi Thang Ngo! Loving your work. Would you be able to place my new food blog http://www.foodiesagenda.com on your next update please? Muchly appreciated 🙂
Hey Kate, for sure, and welcome aboard the fun food blogging train 🙂
Well done!!!
I love your list, it looks like I need to stop by a few more blogs and say hi!
There are some blogs I hadn’t even heard of yet. I would love my blog to be ranked but I am not based in Sydney. I do write about food in Sydney from time to time but I am a food a travel website (similar to Not Quite Nigella). Is there any chance of fitting into a future ranking down the track?
Not at the moment I’m afraid, this list is for Sydney based food bloggers. I may extend in the future, but it’s a little time consuming to do 🙁
HI Thang, just wondering how this list was compiled? Do you have a list and just manually look at the alexa ranking?
Yep, I manually compiled the list then got their Alexa rankings.
WOW…!! that is EPIC..!!!
You forgot Simplicitybysarah!! 🙂
Hey Than,
Here’s to including GM in your next roundup. And here’s hoping we are more than a blip in the rankings…
Haha, lets see… lol
Hi Thang – awesome effort. We’d love it if you checked out paintingthebridge.com. it’s very local mostly just Newtown and it’s very personal but it is at least ostensibly a restaurant review blog
Cheers
Andy
No worries, I’ve added you. Maybe it’s to new, there’s no ranking showing for you at the moment.
Hi Thang,
Great work with the list! very informative and useful!
Could you please add me for next time?
Cheers.
Yes, of course, will do
