Being consistently honest and transparent when discussing products and services.
Not using your blog to sell products in the guise of advice.
Providing new and unique information in a timely fashion.
Acknowledging when you are repeating information gained from a competing blog.
Demonstrating a sense of self-awareness and lack of entitlement when discussing travel.
Not being defensive/attacking critics with honest feedback.
Recognizing that quality of posts is far more important than quantity.
Not falsely suggesting to readers you can travel for Free.
Realizing that $2500 First Class fares are still expensive for most of the world.
