Another way to improve your ranking: get Ed at Tomato to correct the link to this blog on his site! It’s broken.

thanks so much for listing me as a favourtie blog!!! i’m so pleased you enjoy reading my musings.

one way to generate more traffic is to get involved in blogging events from around the world. ed even mentioned that jenjen from milk & cookies and haalo from cook (almost) anything at least once are very social blogs and owe a lot of their traffic to the events they take part in.

there are quite a few vegetarian blogs in india that would appreciate input from you i’m sure.

i will do my bit for you too and email your website address around to every vegetarian i know!!!

Altho’ it’s fun checking your Technorati ranking, I think it’s also worthwhile remembering that this only indicates how often you are mentioned by other bloggers. You may well have lots of vegetarian fans who don’t own blogs, but visit your site everyday nevertheless.

Photos always seem to be popular. And yes, participating in online events will automatically earn you new links in the event round-up.

Cheers guys. These are all great suggestions and you’re totally right about not getting hung up on technorati. That post was a bit cheeky - I think last time Ed just did the rankings for food bloggers so if you take out the vino blogs there hasn’t actually been any change.

I had a lot of fun with the online events and want to try some more. Best part is being inspired to use new ingredients, and then to see what else people have come up with.

I’ve just started reading a few Indian food blogs and can’t wait to find more. So tasty and great to hear the secrets behind the recipes. Out of interest, what Indian restaurants do you rate in Sydney? I’ve been to lots that I like, but still searching for the elusive perfect palak paneer.

i can’t get enough of the gorgeous tandoori paneer from maya masala. it’s a vegetarian restaurant at 470 cleveland street in surry hills.

it also happens to be maya sweets which is a treasure trove of indian desserts. in fact i read once that this place makes the desserts for most of sydney’s indian restaurants.

Hi Kate - yes, you don’t need to be a link slut to get noticed and those wine blogs, well, whatever! I’ve tagged you for the 5 things to eat before you die meme/project, so there’s another worthwhile link to tap into to get a veggie input, although there seems to be a few fruit-o-philes listing yummy things to eat as well. You’re doing a great job and your blog is terrific.

Cheers Reb. Really appreciate your support and thanks for tagging me. It’s such a great idea and your post had some amazing suggestions. It is causing me some soul searching!

Congratulations on being ranked 39th, Kate! I agree with Helen that you have to remember all your non-blogging veggie fans out there like, say, me for example I reckon more Melbourne blogs would be good or blogs from other cities in general, so I know where to go when I travel around! But that is really my and Ed’s arena of responsibility so we will get cracking…

I think the photos and the flagged map you have are a great addition. The recipes are also fun and your posts are well written, funny and interesting. Keep it up, matey-potatey.

[…] First, there was Tomato’s ranking of Australian food and wine bloggers. Then Ed showed me hot to check out Google’s page ranking of different websites using the Google toolbar. […]
