Its a scam, the quality of recipe's entered is very questionable, its not a search engine its a content copier (copying recipe's of other websites/blogs) the way its designed they want 99% of the traffic to stay within there servers rather than goto the website/blog from where the recipe originated(the people who wrote those recipie's), I doubt it will past copyscape (lol).
