How it works?

Listing your recipes on Very Good Recipes requires two easy steps: 1. Submit your blog, and 2. Add tags to your recipes.

1. Submit your blog

It only takes a few seconds to fill the submission form.

If you do not have an account on Very Good Recipes yet, you will be able to create a user account at the same time.

A few precisions:

• Once you will have entered your blog address, other fields will be automatically populated: title, description, RSS feed URL etc. You can of course change the value of those fields as needed, for instance if you have a RSS feed dedicated to recipes on your blog.
• A page dedicated to your blog recipes will be created on Very Good Recipes. Its adress will be of the form verygoodrecipes.com/your-blog-title
• You will be able to upload an image and to choose a color that will be used to generate a banner for your blog page.

Once you have submitted the form, your blog will be visited shortly so that it can be validated.

Important note: only personal blogs that publish original recipes with pictures will be accepted.

A link back to Very Good Recipes on your blog would be very appreciated! (for instance "My recipes are indexed on Very Good Recipes"). Once your submission has been validated, this link will directly lead to the page dedicated to your blog. Thank you very much!

2. Add tags to your recipes

To list your recipes on more pages of Very Good Recipes, you can add one ore more tags (or keywords): the name of the dish, of the ingredients, of the type of cuisine etc.

To add a tag to a recipe, you only need to add a link to the page of the tag, somewhere in the text of the recipe (for instance in the list of ingredients, or at the bottom). For a chocolate cake recipe, you could use the following tags: Desserts, Cake, Chocolate

The corresponding URLs are https://verygoodrecipes.com/desserts, https://verygoodrecipes.com/cake, https://verygoodrecipes.com/chocolate. You can easily obtain the tags to cut and paste with the form on the right.

Your recipe will then be listed on the front page of Very Good Recipes, the page dedicated to your blog, and the page of each of the tags.

Notes:

• You can use all the tags you want. If the corresponding page does not exist yet, it will be created when your recipe get listed.
• You can use phrases as tags: verygoodrecipes.com/chocolate-cake for instance.
• Number (singular or plural) does not matter, you can use verygoodrecipes.com/pancake or verygoodrecipes.com/pancakes.
• The address of the tag page is in small case, with a dash in the place of spaces and apostrophes. If you use another form, users will be automatically redirected to the right address.

Indexing of the recipes

Once your blog is validated, a robot will regularly visit your blog to list the recipes. You don't have anything else to do.

If you want to index recipes that you have already published, please add at least one tag to each of them and send me the list of their URLs so that I can send the robots to index them.
