Okay, sorry to hijack the topic, but I'm curious to know how many hits you get from *.gr versus from the rest of the world, if you are bothering to track geolocation that is.

  Greece         92.95%	
  Cyprus          3.36%	
  Germany         0.80%	
  United Kingdom  0.62%	
  United States   0.38%	
  Netherlands     0.23%	
  France          0.19%	
  Italy           0.19%	
  Sweden          0.13%	
  Belgium         0.12%
That's really interesting. Give the enormous size of the Greek expatriate population, I would have expected stronger showings from some of the countries with immigrant Greeks (eg. Australia - cue the joke about Melbourne being the second largest Greek city in the world), especially since they would have less access to traditional forms of recipe sharing (such as cookbooks, friends).

Assuming you are interested in attracting more traffic (which granted you may not be), you might want to look at targeting some of those communities via some well placed advertising.
