Hey Sebastian, great offer! I'd love if you'd take a look at Fridge to Food: http://www.fridgetofood.com Keywords: recipe sharing, foodie community, ingredient search Honestly, I could use help coming up with other keywords. I've been having trouble boiling down the concept into a few keywords. The best I can do is TasteSpotting meets StackOverflow (and eventually LocalHarvest). Shoot me an e-mail at dbingham@fridget…

I think your site is great, but I'd like to share a frustration that I have with EVERY recipe site: I can't find "connected" recipes that use common ingredients. Sure, there are sites where I can enter my ingredients and get recipes, but for a guy like me (single, 28, lives alone, professional job) I'd rather be told what to buy that will make N dishes. In short, I want to buy the fewest ingredients (without having t…

I have no idea if anything exists to do that. I've never found it if it does. I have no idea how to do that, either. But I'll certainly keep it in mind. Maybe once I've whittled down the todo list I'll come back to it and see if I can solve it.

Just out of curiosity; I would like to see your own pages.

I find it somewhat odd that SebastianSh is unable (or unwilling) to grant that simple request.

In other professions (web design, software development, etc) this is usually a sign of missing expertise. What kind of designer or programmer wouldn't proudly show his/her latest creations when asked to do so?

However, in this case there might be another reason. Maybe the customers don't want to be used as a reference? This leads to an interesting question:

Is it bad for business to publicly admit the use of SEO techniques?

I don't actually do any SEO work for the people asking for help - I simply give them advice and suggestions on how to improve their sites.

You are right about publicly admitting to have used SEO. A lot of my clients have requested NDAs, but some haven't. Unfortunately for them, admitting to have used SEO in their minds devalues the company.
