Table legend & things to note:

  • Rank column is the rank as at today.
  • LR is last time these blogs were ranked, in this case on 1 September 2013. NEW in this column denotes newly added blogs or ones which have been assigned a rank by Alexa as at today.
  • Blog is the blog name, click to read that blog.
  • Alexa Rank is a website ranking system developed by Alexa, a subsidiary of US giant, Amazon. For more information on the ranking process and the last ranked list, visit noodlies post: Top Sydney food blogs – 21 July 2013.

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 ayanadoes 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 March 2014 and then quarterly after that (resources depending, it’s a bit of work!).

Feedback?

  • Your Sydney food blog isn’t listed (you must be Sydney based)? Leave a comment and I’ll add your blog for the next round. Please leave a comment rather than emailing me as they get lost in the volume of email I get each day 🙂
  • Do you find this list and the ranking useful?
  • Any suggestions or feedback?
