    I'd like to get the opinion of the people on this forum.

    This is my blog: http://Everything-Everywhere.com

    I've been traveling around the world since March 2007. I'm interested in what sort of content you think is/would be interesting.

    What sort of stories and photos would make for good linkbait? What would you be curious to hear about that I've done or might do in the future?

    I'm interested more in content suggestions than in design or monetization right now, but any suggestions would be helpful.

    As I adore traveling too, the following facts and information will be interesting for me:
    - the description of famous places you have visited, sanatoriums, recreation areas etc. This information will be useful everybody who is planning to come there...

    - of course, your impressions, feelings, your evaluation whether this or that place is worth visiting...

    - reviews from the point of view of sights, prices, opportunities for entertainment, education, sports and extreme sports etc.

    - some historical facts of the ancient places and cities.

    - different troubles and issues the visitors may face with during their traveling, they would be most grateful if you warn them beforehand....

    And it goes without saying, I'd like to see a lot of pictures, photos that would inspire me to visit these places... Your blog is full of great photos!

    I like what you did and continue doing!
    Keep it on! Good luck!

    Hey, it looks really good. I have just scanned it, and I'm going to make some time to have a read of it later.

    I do a travel blog too - see sig - but not journey based. I write about places I have been to, and pass on useful tit-bits of information.

    I am quite interested in cultural events too, so I write about exhibitions and so on as well.

    One thing I'd like to ask, EverythingEverywhere - how do you get your logo into the tab when the page is displayed? I'd like to do that with mine, when I've sorted out a logo, that is.

    WHOA!! LOVE IT MATE!!

    Such a unique style/design...at first I thought it's going to be a typical MySpace type page...but after it fully loaded I was wrong! The style is excellent i tell ya!! Only thing that could do changing is the background, use a mountain>lake>trees background....or a "hill-top city view at night"...that would be jaw-dropping!!

    You need some good marketing skill if you want to get this blog out there...travel blogs come in hundreds so you've got stiff competition...

    Use social networking sites to bring traffic

    So far, so good. I've hit 330 RSS subscribers and 13k visitors in march. I think i'm doing well in the travelouge niche.

    Ye, this is a real nice travel blog.

    Thing I like most is that you have many comments. That makes the site feel more like a community resource.

    Where does most of your traffic come from StumbleUpon?

    My biggest referring source has been StumbleUpon. I think I have a good method for generating SU traffic, but it could use some work.

    I haven't really ever had any huge spikes in traffic. My growth has been pretty steady. No mentions on A-list blogs or anything.
