My Blog Stats for Q1 2009

by Krista
My blog stats q1

I took a bit of a hiatus from my little London restaurant blog in December. You can tell. It took me a while to recover, traffic-wise. But hey, mentally, it was great. No self-imposed deadlines, no nothing. I highly recommend it.

Last year, I told you my blog stats every month. I haven’t quite gotten around to that this year, so I’ll try for quarterly.

Here you go…

Top 5 Referring Sites (Not including Search Engines)
: I’ve tried to be good about posting all my reviews to Urbanspoon. I’m a bit behind. Now if only I had an iPhone.
Twitter: Who would have thunk it?
An American in London: How does she do it???
Gourmet-Chick: A relatively new arrival on the London food scene who is very diligent in her commenting. It must be working, traffic-wise. This is her first appearance in my referring sites. (She just started up in Feb 2008.) I wish I did more commenting. (I do read you all, I swear.)
Londonist: They interviewed me last month. That was nice.

Top 5 Sources of Traffic that’s New to Me (Again, Not including Search Engines)

Twitter
Londonist
Stumbleupon: I still haven’t figured this site out.
Mmm-yoso: I still love these guys and hope I can make it out to the West Coast soon to try some of their favorites.

Update on the London Restaurant Widget
I have totally updated the London Restaurant Widget. Big-time. It is action-packed with London restaurant blogs now. You will love it. Install it on iGoogle or on your blog or on your friend’s blog.


For those of you new to widgets, my London Restaurant Blog widget searches across all the London restaurant blogs to find you first-person reviews from people you should trust. Go forth and install. Just click Get Widget to get the code.

Here’s who’s in my London Restaurant Blog Search Widget…
Londonelicious, London Review of Breakfasts, American in London, World Foodie Guide, Dos Hermanos, Food & Drink in London, Cheese & Biscuits, Edible LondonTasty Treats, Andy Hayler, Very Good Taste, Thring for Your Supper, The World in 202 Meals, Sausage & Bread, Ripe London, Provender, Meal Club, London Eater, Gluttonous Sins, Genuiness, Food Snob, Bellaphon, Around Britain with a Paunch, A Girl Has to Eat, Eat Drink Man Woman, Gourmet Chick, The Greasy Spoon, London Ethnic Eating, Tummy Rumble, Love 1 London, Eggs Bacon Chips & Beans, Oishii Oishii, Sparklya, London Restraurant Blog, Food Stories, Tamarind & Thyme, The Gooseberry Fool, Intoxicating Prose

If you’re not listed here and you’ve got more than a few London restaurant reviews on your blog, leave a note in the Comments and I’ll include you in my next update. This is a very organic list of blogs that I update sporadically, and I know I am probably missing more than a few important ones!

I have more than a few reviews! I can’t figure out stumpleupon either – I tried, I failed.

Gourmet Chick 2009 -

So proud that I managed to make it into your referrals Krista…. oops I just commented again – sorry cannot help myself it seems!

Hi Krista! I’ve got a few reviews, but maybe it’s too soon? See what you think.

canelvr 2009 -

PS: Tried and so far failed to add the search to my blog…

Krista 2009 -

Hi Canelvr–I’ll add you during my next update! In terms of installing, try
going here
http://www.widgetbox.com/widget/london-restaurant-blog-search
and seeing if using some othe options on this page works for you. some blogs
don’t like javascript. I have the best lunch if I edit the HTML version of
my post directly and save there, rather than moving back to the WYSIWYG
interface. But in short, if you use one of the blog platforms listed on
Widgetbox, you should be able to add the widget to your sidebar somehow…

I’m starting another blog for reviews as The English Can Cook is turning out to be a diary about The Underground Restaurant.
It’s called The English Can Eat. http://theenglishcaneat.blogspot.com/

I’ve found Twitter to be a great source of referrals.

Yes I was wondering what happened to you in December… I too read, even if I don’t always comment! Keep up the good work with all the posting!

Danny 2009 -

Hi Krista, have only just started posting and have put a couple of reviews up, but the main aim is to keep a mix of reviews, recipes and other stories going. Do I make the grade?
