On long-term travel, snobbery & judgmental blogging {Gadling}
Aug 13th 2010 11:55AM Didn't know about your prior work experience Matt -- you should make mention of that more often so people can put your travel experiences in the greater context of your life experiences.

Successful travel blogger offers extensive course in making your own blog profitable {Gadling}
Feb 19th 2010 10:20AM @Caitlin - I contacted Gadling in advance of the Travel Blog Success launch and offered a preview. I had no control over what the writer decided to say or focus on, and I certainly didn't pay for their coverage.
It wasn't easy coming up with a price, however based on the initial feedback I'm hearing from members, they have been satisfied with the value being delivered for their investment.
@Happy Hotelier - As I mentioned above, I did not pay for advertising. One of the things I've always appreciated about the online travel community is the way sites support one another. I only paid for a small amount of advertising for the launch, and that was on Facebook.
@Kevin - "As the travel writing debate rumbles on, it is also quality of writing itself, including spelling headlines correctly, which will help - but not guarantee - success."
Thank you for pointing out that misspelling. I'm not claiming to be infallible when it comes to delivering a quality experience for my blogs' readers. If you've been a regular reader of Go Backpacking for the last 3 years, you know misspellings are a rarity there, whether it's a post I published myself or one I've edited from a guest contributor.

Outback Australia: Disappointment in the Tiwi Islands {Gadling}
Oct 9th 2009 1:19PM Your experience reminds me of my own on a Hill Tribe trek in northern Thailand - culturally disappointing, though you still look for the positives you can gain from investing the time and energy.

Oct 4th 2009 11:36AM Or...South African cities. I almost had my pocket picked in broad daylight on a crowded Cape Town city sidewalk.
