Perth’s Hottest 100 Food Blogs 2015
I am a proud Australian. I love my country and all the opportunities and joy it has given me. But what I love even more is my home town Perth. I wasn’t born here, I didn’t even grown up here, yet amongst all the cities I have lived in it is the only place I can see myself growing old. I am fiercely loyal to this city for a reason. We really have it all here; sunshine, happy people, incredible food and fresh produce, stunning beaches, a plethora of wine regions on our doorstep and the list goes on. I mean seriously….we even grow our own truffles. I am a strong believer in supporting local businesses and will go out of my way to buy something West Australian where I can.
After my publication of Perth’s Hottest 100 Food Blogs last year, I helped Sydney blogger Noodlies to compile a current comprehensive Australian Food Blogs list. He updates this list quarterly and it provides an incredible resource for foodies, journalists and fellow bloggers alike. With the creation of this full list, I felt that publishing a regularly updated Perth list was overkill as those who wanted to see the rise and fall of their stats could just refer to Noodlies list. The intentions of my list was not so much about stats but more about showcasing what an incredible number of beautiful and talented food bloggers we have here in WA. Just another reason we are awesome 😉 Consequently, after much encouragement from fellow bloggers and foodies, I have decided to update my Hottest 100 list annually to coincide with my favourite Public Holiday; Australia Day. There are a number of new additions to my list this year along with some that have sadly been removed due to inactivity or moving interstate/abroad.
In order to qualify for the Perth’s Hottest 100 Food Blogs 2015 list, blogs need to be based in Western Australia and their content needs to be predominantly about food. I have excluded any blogs that haven’t published content in the last twelve months. Blogs that have with no Alexa ranking data have also been excluded this year. Updating this list is a huge endeavour that involves a lot of researching and double-checking each blog for suitability. If I have missed or excluded your blog off my list and you do qualify the criteria; I apologise profusely. Just send me an email or comment below and I will add you to the following year.
Just a little word about Alexa ranking; Alexa Internet is a US-based subsidiary company of Amazon that provides commercial web traffic data. It estimates traffic by comparing how a website is doing compared to all other sites on the Internet over the past 3 months. Alexa’s website describes this rank as being “calculated using a combination of the estimated average daily unique visitors to the site and the estimated number of page views on the site over the past 3 months. The site with the highest combination of unique visitors and page views is ranked #1”. To give you an idea of how it goes, Google is number one closely followed by Facebook. Noodlies has given a more detailed explanation on Alexa’s merits and pit falls when used for ranking blogs.To read more about the Alexa ranking please refer to their site at www.alexa.com.

What an exciting list Martine, so many of my favourite local blogs in one place! Your spot up the top is again a tribute to your hard work and dedication – Chompchomp is always a pleasure to read (I love being able to share the love of heartfelt, honest writing with you!). Here’s to another year of blogging and sharing good food together! Happy Australia Day and congrats to all the amazing Perth bloggers featured here xxxx
Naw, shucks thanks Laura, you are such sweet heart. Here’s to another year of feasting, photographing and sharing wonderful foodie moments together. Oh, and a few puppy and kitten photos to make it perfect!
Hi Martine have a look at my blog…. I will have a logo finalised over the next couple of months
Thanks

Absolutely Shanai, and thank you so much for contacting me. Happy blogging!
Wow Martine congratulations, what a fabulous place to me. I have always loved your blog and you are so wonderfully sweet. Thank you for compiling this list. Congratulations to everyone.
And likewise to you Bhavna! I love reading your blog, you alway have such interesting and beautiful presented dishes.
Hey Martine,
I’m just wondering why I am never listed in any bloggers tally, I have no idea why? I’m listed on urbanspoon, and have more people following my page on facebook than any of those listed above! Could you let me know if I need to add myself to noodlies too, in order to be recognised amongst all the rest of the incredible bloggers listed?
Love your blog and your passion for food by the way, keep up the amazing work! I look forward to hearing back from you….

Hi Brooke, I already have your blog is on my list however on the date that I obtained all this data, your blog ranked as “No Data” for its Alexa ranking. As I mentioned above, I do not include blogs with No Data on my list. Your Alexa ranking is based on your traffic rather than your social media so having followers on Facebook will not contribute unfortunately. I have just checked your stats for today and you have now got a ranking which means you now qualify, if you can maintain or increase your traffic then of course you will feature on next’s years list. FYI your rank is at 7,879,113 as of today. Hope this helps! Let me know if there is anything else I can clarify for you. Xx
Thanks for the info! April from What Can I Bake has managed to clarify how it all works to me this morning! I am aware that my Facebook interaction doesn’t count, and my blog is relatively new too… I guess I need to build it up, just like I have done with my page! Thanks for you quick response x
No problem at all Brooke! One of the keys to high traffic is engaging the community and getting long term readers so you are totally on the right track!
Hi Martine thank you so much for listing me. I am so thrilled to be the 121!!! It motivates me to keep sharing my life story along recipes I love to cook. Thumbs up for your blog 🙂
Thanks Dalia, and congrats for your listing. It is a wonderful community to be a part of!
Hi Martine
What an admirable job compiling that list! I would love to be included next year (www.aweekendchef.com). For now, looks like I will have to get reading 🙂
Bronwyn
Hi Bronwyn, you are already on the list! You are at number 37! 🙂
Oh man, I was officially too tired to be on the Internet last night haha! Thanks Martine 🙂
LOL! Happens to us all! x
Thanks for all the hard work involved in putting this together Martine! I’m already looking forward to the 2016 edition
Thanks Casey! xx

Thanks Tania xxxx
Thanks so much for the feature.
Some great blogs to browse through!
What a fantastic list! Lots of blogs to read through to keep me occupied
You did it again Martine! Amazing effort in this list.
And wow, big big congrats and even bigger hugs for your blogging achievements this year, you so deserve your ranking. Much love xx
Thanks Chris, the list is something to make every Perth blogger proud. I am humbled by the calibre of blogs that surround me and am somewhat gobsmacked at my ranking. What makes me happy is the knowledge that (hopefully) I am helping and inspiring those with food allergies and intolerances to continue to enjoy their food and dine out safely. You too deserve a big congratulation, you put in a lot of work and effort into your business and your blog and every photo you take makes my mouth water. xxxx
Congratulations Martine and thanks for putting up the list again! It’s really good to see so many bloggers in Perth! 🙂 Great job to everyone xx
I can appreciate all the hard work you put into making this list. And so exciting to see the Perth food blog scene thriving so well!
