Recipegnome.com - Find and Vote on Best Recipes

RecipeGnome is a well-designed site that allows users to search for great recipes, submit their own favorite recipes and vote or comment on existing recipes as well. User votes determine which recipes stay on the front page ensuring that you will always have the tastiest options at the top. You can also choose from a wide variety of categorized recipes, check out what’s new or see what the most popular recipe of the day is. If you particularly like the recipes of a given user, you can also filter your search to only include results from your favorite recipe submitter. This now familiar format where user votes determine what stays on the page works well for this type of site where user opinion can let you know which recipes are good and which are not.

“Recipe Gnome is an online community for recipes. Submit your own recipes or vote/comment on other people's recipes. Only the best recipes make it here to the front page.”

The design of the site will appeal to all as will the user voting and commenting functionality. The platform is there and providing they can market well, this site could be a success.

This is another site which does not appear to have developed a working business model. How will they monetize and how will they market the site to generate increased traffic and more recipes in this already crowded space?
