Food Bloggers Reach

It’s been a few months now since we launched the Foodies100 index of UK food blogs and bloggers, and we’ve loved getting to know your blogs, and reading your gorgeous recipes – but we wanted to know more.

So last month, we asked 250 UK food blogs to tell us about themselves, their blogs, and what they love to blog about.

And the results are in. Our survey found that:

  • Foodies love to read other food blogs – 60% do so daily
  • Foodies100 blogs are read by more than 500,000 people each week
  • Foodies are social – 90% of our bloggers use Twitter, while 55% use Pinterest 
  • 90% of Foodies want to talk to brands, but most UK food blogs hear from brands just once a week
  • Blogs are a really trusted and important source of information about products we buy – 90% of Foodies say blogs influence their purchasing decisions 

So, you think you know the Foodies? You can also see our full What’s Cooking results over on Slideshare.

    Elaine, I am also one of the 17% that’s not female age 20-40. I guess I must be considered ancient! But then again that’s a whole lifetime of great experience to share! Very interesting statistics indeed. I, too, agree with looking outside London. The world does not begin nor end in London! OH, and I am a food blog reading addict!

So You Know...

As you've likely heard and seen, there's an increasing focus on the authenticity of follower growth and engagement on social platforms across the Influencer Marketing community. The platforms themselves have taken measures to deter inauthentic activity and brands now more closely scrutinise the audiences of the influencers with whom they are partnering.

The Flea Network has implemented a system that will detect abnormal spikes in following and engagement, and flag these properties. Of course, such spikes can often be attributed to viral posts or high-profile brands that bring greater exposure to some content.

If one of your social accounts is flagged by our system without an obvious reason, we may reach out to you for assistance in understanding it. If we find any influencer has artificially inflated their audience size or engagement using paid acquisition or automated, third-party tools, we will remove them permanently from our influencer community.

Feel free to reach out to us at bloggers@fleaenterprises.com with any questions or comments.

Thank you!
