When I started this website, it had nothing to do with food blogging. In fact I had never intended for this site to become a food lover's destination until spring 2013. Before then, this site was pretty much dormant. I was an indie writer trying to find my way and my voice. But food is never far from my mind.  YET STILL, I AM VERY MUCH A FOOD BLOGGING NEWBIE, I am still trying to learn about SEO OPTIMIZATION. Quite frankly I didn't see what was to be gained from giving away free and sometimes closely guarded secret recipes. That was until I did some research and found that the sky could be the limit in the food blogging world. GOOGLE SIMBOOKER or SIMBOOKER RECIPES and you will see that this site has become almost entirely associated with food.


I am also starting to see a slight increase in traffic and mentions on other sites; certainly not a monumental amount, but a steady increase that keeps rising. Believe it or not, you're likely to get a lot more traffic giving away free recipes and showcasing FOOD PORN (a word I hate) as a food blogger, than as an Indie Author. I TRULY BELIEVE THAT FOOD IS THE NEW FASHION. I believe nowadays that people spend more time thinking about what their next meal will be, over what they are going to wear for their next event. I would rather spend money on buying food than buying a new pair of shoes. I literally cannot function if I can't eat. My palette has become more demanding. My desire for exotic and delicious foods has become more insatiable, and my love for the mighty poultry that is Duck, has become more apparent. I AM THE REAL DUCK DYNASTY. 


The photos above, are the pictures of the most popular and viewed recipes from the slight bump in traffic I've received over the last few months. Click the images to see the recipes. I have based this on traffic referrals, feedback from visitors, amount of views, and the popularity vote from food porn sites on which they have been accepted. Thai Red Duck Curry is my winning recipe for this year. It was accepted by nearly every FOOD PORN SITE I submitted to. It has also garnered the most praise, questions, and responses from visitors. I hope to continue into 2014 eating great food and continuing to share fantastic new recipes.
