A pudding of a puzzle...

I think I need some inspiration!

A few years ago we had some friends to dinner and I made my favorite dessert: Summer Pudding.

Although I say it myself, it was delicious and they asked for the recipe.

Being 'Internetty' I made another one, photographed the process and put up a very quick and dirty webpage for my friend to see.

I wasn't trying to impress or to sell anything, so the page is what it is - basic and a bit ugly.

I stuck it on my kickstartdaily domain just for someplace to stick it and prompty forgot all about it.

It isn't a domain I use much myself any more, so I haven't checked the stats for ages but a couple of days ago I did - and was astounded!

According to AWStats the page Summer Pudding Recipe received over 3000 visitors last month and almost all came via Google using the search term 'summer pudding recipe'. And that kind of high traffic has been pretty consistent for months!

Oddly, when I search Google using that phrase I am on page 9 of the search results - hardly a position you'd expect to get that kind of traffic from.

On this basis I plan to smarten up the page a bit and add AdSense to it (and maybe an exit pop offering a subscription to my newsletter - although recipe traffic isn't a great fit). I also plan to link to one or two other recipe pages I've created for friends (banoffee pie and giant blueberry muffins).

Does anyone have any other ideas of ways I can capitalize on this unexpected windfall?
