Blog Traffic Reports

Here is the place you will find the blog traffic reports which are basically the pageviews and sessions from our blogs listed by months from their first published post.

Bear with us while we update these pages each month. We are both actively engaged in creating and publishing Food Blogger Help content, as well as content for our recipe sites, Dishes Delish and Pear Tree Kitchen. Additionally, Elaine is running Dishes.co, everyone’s favorite Food Blogging Podcast!

Food Blog Income Reports

Over here at Food Blogger Help, we have decided that offering our pageviews and sessions by month since we started our blogs would be much more helpful to our readers than offering income reports.

We discussed at length the reasons we have chosen this form of disclosure in the article blog income reports vs traffic reports. But in short, we believe these numbers paint a more real picture of what one might expect when starting a food blog.

FOOD BLOG TRAFFIC REPORTS

We are providing our pageviews from our recipe sites, Dishes Delish and Pear Tree Kitchen so you can see where we were, based on the number of months we had been blogging.

We’re putting a couple of disclaimers in here.

• Pear Tree Kitchen started with two recipe developers and writers. Beth’s son Ron helped for the first 12 to 18 months, he has written 38 of those posts.
• Beth did not work on her blog full time until January 2019.
• Neither of us started our blogs riding on trends like Air Fryer or Instant Pot.

We would say that our journeys are more representative of the natural progression of an average food blog if you are working on it full-time and doing consistent social media marketing.

As with any industry, there are exceptions. Occasionally, someone will take off without knowing anything about the industry. Many times, these bloggers have jumped onto a new trend like Instant Pot or Air Fryer recipes.

Without further ado, here are the pageviews for our blogs. These numbers will be updated within the first few business days of any given month.

Remember also that there was a pandemic for most of 2020 and 2021, so the numbers might be skewed, especially in 2020, because everyone was home with time to surf the web for recipes. Most restaurants were closed for the majority of 2020.
