It’s Nice But Watch Out…

    I read reviews and visited the plugin site. I’m thinking how cool it would be to have a way for my subscribers to save the recipes on my site. I downloaded only to find out that the plugin has a link to another recipe site called justapinch.com. If someone on your site finds and clicks on the link, they are taken to a site that may resemble yours in comparison which is what I would want to avoid. I would prefer to keep my visitors on my site. If someone would like to advertise on my site I would also entertain that thought but not for free. This plugin is a well thought of way to get free visitors to justapinch.com. Sorry 🙁 . Three stars for the design and effort but not for free ads on potentially thousands of websites.

    Hi there tbartley!

    Thank you for your comment. We hear what you’re saying and just wanted to clarify a few things.

    Yes, you’re absolutely right that the Recipe Box is powered by Just A Pinch – but that’s it, it’s just powered by Just A Pinch. We don’t hijack your traffic by keeping users in an app – we like to think of ourselves as a better, more blogger-friendly version of Pinterest. And, with millions of home cooks on Just A Pinch looking for yummy recipes, we put your recipes in front of the hungry eyes of your target audience and drive all traffic directly to your site!

    Oh, and did we mention that we have a dashboard for bloggers that provides:

    1. Access to the email addresses of new signups, helping to grow your email newsletter list
    2. Data and stats on recipe saves, new signups and the number of users saving your recipes
    3. The ability to customize the Recipe Box on your site

    Regarding your question of advertising on the Recipe Box Plugin – we don’t advertise in or monetize the Recipe Box. With other food bloggers requesting an easy way to use our recipe saving platform on their sites, we set out to create just that. Our goal is to make the Recipe Box a new addition to your blog that improves user experience, keeps them coming back for more and helps to grow your traffic.

    We really appreciate your comments, questions and concerns and hope we’ve helped clarify the Recipe Box Plugin.

    Have a great rest of your day and happy cooking!
