Money, Links, Content, Advertising and Giveaways

Hi all, this is the page to address some of the business questions related to food blogging.

Let’s get right to the list.

First, if you are proposing any of the following things: NO. It won’t happen. Please don’t ask. I will trash your email or send you a link to this page.

Adding your content.
Linking to your content.
“Partnering” with you.
Talk with you about your SEO proposal, Site Errors, Link Building, or Buy a Bridge.

Sponsored Posts / Product Reviews:
I do not do sponsored posts. This is about helping people learn to cook, not sell your product, so no sponsored posts. Also, I do not do product reviews for similar reasons.

Samples:
Send samples if you wish, but since I don’t publish my address, you will need to contact me first. Also, do not expect your product to appear on the blog since it probably will not.

Giveaways:
If you want to do a giveaway with a nice product I like with a value over $80, we can talk. But I turn down most offers. I will do it if I believe your product is correct for my followers.

If I’m not familiar with or use the product, I will need a duplicate to evaluate to do the write-up. If I don’t like the product, I will not do the giveaway. If I use the product already, I’m good and don’t need the freebie.

For this, you get front page exposure on my blog during the giveaway and a short write-up. I will choose the winner by a random method. You will be responsible for the shipping of the product to the winner. The giveaway will last about one week and the post will be removed one week after completed.

I currently have about 1.4 million page views per month. So this is cheaper than normal ad rates. At this time, this is still free although many bloggers are starting to charge.

Direct advertising. No thanks. All ads are by my ad network.

Ad Networks; I’m well set for now (10/2018). I will just trash your email since I get 3-4 inquiries per day. I tried responding politely but it is getting to be too much, and some of you take that as encouragement.

Guest Bloggers: I do not have guest bloggers or “contributors”. I write what is on this site and will not publish material from others.

Exchange Links: I will not exchange links. The links I provide are the ones I use. Post some comments, and I may check your blog out.

Please see Information for Publishers about use of any recipes or images from this site.

Have a great day
