Garden of Eatin'

As I was scanning the spam comments, I caught a couple good ones (bad akismet, bad!) and found that Garden of Eatin’ won this

Which made me feel kinda guilty for not posting anything about anything in a while, especially gardening related. All that’s left in the garden is tomatoes though! Maybe it’s time to post some recipes and other earthy stuff!

I have such a fun array of search terms that people come here from.

virtual farming – yes, I still play Farm Town on Facebook… add me as a friend on Facebook (amy_e_williams(at)hotmail.com) – just let me know when you send the friend request that you play Farm Town and we can be neighbors! http://apps.facebook.com/farmtown/

My Fish Taco recipe is getting loads of hits -
taco del mar white sauce recipe
taco del mar fish taco recipe
fish taco white sauce recipe
fish taco recipe white sauce
beer battered fish taco recipe
taco del mar recipes

And “chicken smells funny” – throw.it.out.please.

Rounding out the top search terms are avoiding monsanto (see the link over to the right), and bread machine pizza dough recipe.

Notice there’s not actually any about gardening? To be fair though, row covers for gardens and oregon gardening calendar are also in there, just not as one of the more searched for terms. People just like Fish Tacos!

I managed to forget to disable nofollow on this blog. A note on the bottom of Tessa’s post pages reminded me! It’s disabled now, search engines like Google will follow the links you provide! Garden of Eatin’ has a decent page rank for a personal blog (3 right now) so search engines look favorably on links from this site, including yours! Just a little link love for my readers =)

What is nofollow and why does it suck?

I can’t leave well enough alone and am giving Garden of Eatin’ a new design. I’m also getting rid of the Google ads to save page load time. I’ve added a “related posts” plug in to the bottom of each post that parses all my posts and pages and comes up with the closest matches. I’ll also be adding actual categories to the blog to help readers find information that way. Stay tuned, it’ll still be the same Garden of Eatin’, just improved a bit (……..I hope).

I can’t wait til I can garden again, I was making some decent loot off the Google ads when I was posting about gardening, but nothing now because the ads are all about weight loss, wrinkle cream (wtf????) and recipes. But I have *no* clue where we are living in a few weeks – once we’re moved and I can start planning a garden and getting back into the swing of things And no, I haven’t ran out of recipes, just been working a ton! I’ll try to get one out tonight!

Apparently, I like blogging about zucchini, onion and bacon a lot.

Thanks to outerbanksmom for the link to Wordle, I made this one using my blog feed. Very cool :thumb
