Vote for the best travel blog!
 
Never mind that many are points and miles blogs/transportation blogs rather than travel blogs.

VFTW is trolling for votes. Ironically, of course. ;)

They are 'enemies' so I'm not sure why he's driving traffic to Elliot's site....oh wait, yes I am. :rolleyes:

Well sure. He's the only one (so far) that has turned this into the Freddies by shilling/spamming his customers for votes. @:-)

These Best Blogger awards really only award one blogger - the blogger "hosting" the awards. It is a simple traffic generator because they count on the mentioned bloggers getting the word out to their readers which causes the blogger who is running the awards to see an uptick in pageviews.

I like the new Jetsetter blog, written by techgirl.

My very favorite, but not read by me often enough is TBB, TravelBloggerBuzz. All he has is one link to Amazon, and George doesn't constantly bother us with cc links. ;)

Those were the days... As of today he also has Uber, three shopping portals and (horror of horrors ;) ) a bank. But no credit cards, as you say.

EDITED: "Oh yes he has...." Oops.

Really an apples to oranges group there. But hey, it's big stakes...an Elliott Award and $1.29 will get you a pack of gum.

Out in the real world. But that's no excuse for being wrong and I've edited my post.

Yep, I got a tab with all my monetizing pimping activity. Still looking for that first cc sale to register in my account to start feeling like a Titan lol.
I should add Silvercar one of these...months.
I read all about the new Delta Award Search calendar in a blog not focusing on Delta credit cards :rolleyes:

Best travel blog? That's like asking which is your favourite infectious skin disease.
