November was an exciting month for FeedingTheCrave. I read a lot of blog posts and learned something new almost everyday. Below is the summary for the month of November:
- RSS Subscribers went from 16 readers in October up to 89 readers in November and reach 108 readers on December 1st. =) I can finally give away the iPods. See Below.
- Twitter followers went from 23 in October and reached 110 in November.
- Alexa ranking went from 10,000,000 in October 1, down to 1,000,908 on November 30.
- On a non-Blog note, I also used 6,500 text messages in the month of November. Thank God for T-mobiles Unlimited Text Plan and for Twitter.
Food Trip:
We did not have a Food Trip for November because of the Thanksgiving Holiday but Food Trip is going to be held in California between December 4-8, 2008. Where? I don’t know yet. Anyone in the bay area wanna meet up? There is a place that was featured on the Food Network show Diners, Drive Thru’s and Dives over the weekend that I want to try out, its called Joe’s Cable Car. Joe does not buy meat patties for his burgers, he buys the slab of fresh meat, trims the fat off and then make the STEAK burgers from scratch… right there at the store. See you there!
Contests:
What made November really exciting are the contests that I participated in. Hoping to win so I would be able to give away my winnings to my readers. I started the “If I Win You Win” contest theme because my readers deserve it, or as they say I like to “pay it forward.” Below are the contests I participated in, if I won, and If I was able to win the prize I wanted to give away.
- LinkersBlog.com contest – Won a Prize to give away. See Below.
- SmarterWealth.net contest – Won 3rd Prize. Not the Cash Prize so I could not give it away.

It is obvious that with every passing day the credibility of Alexa is only increasing and getting stronger. The mammoth number of users that is always increasing and the tough competition to the top is testimonial to this fact.
