Top 100 Travel Blogs | Top 100 Travel Sites | SEOmoz + Alexa Rankings
The top 100 travel blogs as ranked by SEOmoz and Alexa indicators
Introduction
Welcome to the top 100 travel blogs (single author, couples and family sites) as ranked by SEOmoz & Alexa indicators. This list was compiled tracking hundreds of independent travel sites. The top travel sites that made this list are ranked according to SEOmoz (67% weight) and Alexa (33% weight) indicators in an attempt to highlight some of the best travel blogs.
My list is done entirely by ranking numbers and does not involve my personal opinion in any way, shape or form. That’s also the only reason why I’m potentially able to include my own sites if they qualify.
The list specifically measures the internal strength of sites (SEOmoz) according to how well they should perform in the search engines along with a measurement tracking current traffic (Alexa).

(If your travel blog does not qualify for the list (or to be tracked) this article will definitely help you eventually get there)
The Top 100 Travel Sites will be updated roughly every 6-12 weeks.
What this list is/isn’t
This list is current. Most of the other best travel sites lists do not accept new entries & accordingly aren’t relevant.
The Top Travel Blogs will ALWAYS include a process of accepting travel sites that meet the criteria of the ranking system.
This list is purely a ranking system based on numbers crunched, ranked and scored objectively. There are no subjective measurements.
The Best Travel Blogs is inherently flawed (as all are) and isn’t claiming to be anything that it is not.
The purpose of this list is to show the internal strength of travel blogs (SEOmoz factors at 67%) & current traffic levels (Alexa at 33%) according to a points system.
Observations Regarding This Latest Update:
**(All data gathered for the latest update on November 29, 2012)**
Welcome to Volume VII of the Top 100 Travel blogs! It’s hard to believe the year is almost over. I can still remember back to when I did the first update earlier in the year and now we’re already on the seventh update! It’s been a fascinating year in terms of tracking all that has been going on with sites in terms of metrics. Some sites have really emerged whereas others have started to fade; however, many of the top sites on this list continue to dominate. For those starting a travel blog consistency really is the key. Sites that have maintained or improved their rankings have that as a common thread. What I’ve really noticed this year is that there are more travel blogs than ever before. When I first started my site in July, 2011 there were already a lot of established sites; however, there are a lot more now than there was even then. It’s become so tight in terms of metrics that a site could theoretically be on the top 100 list on one update and fall off completely (not even on the top 150) on subsequent updates. On this particular update I’ve tracked 167 sites meaning every category is now ranked out of a possible 167 points all the way down to 1. The theoretical maximum amount of points (if a site was to lead in all three categories) is 501 this time around.
Top Performers Shout Outs!
I’d like give a bit shout out to Waegook Tom who made a very impressive debut at number 99. Also, I’d like to welcome some new sites to the list that include Crazy Sexy Fun Traveler, Pommie Travels, Captain and Clark & Travel Rinse Repeat. Guess what??? Ted’s back! Traveling Ted clawed his way back on the Top Travel Blogs after switching from .tv to .com. Additionally, another site that has recently re-branded, Escape Artistes (formerly Travels with a Nine Year Old) has returned with a vengeance.

Best wishes and when you qualify to be tracked just let me know.
Nomadic Samuel recently posted..How To Improve Your Travel Blog & Get on The Top 100
Wow, great list and thank you for all the time and energy you have put into compiling this and keeping it up. I have to admit that I didn’t know much about SEOMoz before this, so you’ve already helped educate me on how to improve what we do. And I’ve learned of some other travel blogs to look into. Thanks again!
Audrey recently posted..Panorama of the Week: Quilotoa Crater Lake, Ecuador
Thanks Audrey,
You’re doing extremely well even without extensive knowledge of SEOmoz. I’m glad the list introduced you to some new blogs!

Thanks Normand, this list should definitely keep you busy

A really valuable resource. I follow most of the names on this list and I hope one of my own blogs will be included here one day. Good work, Samuel!
Adrian recently posted..Mosque in Aswan, Egypt
Hey Adrian, I think if you keep working at it the chances of it appearing on here are very good.
Nomadic Samuel recently posted..How To Improve Your Travel Blog & Get on The Top 100
Thanks Samuel, truly amazing how much the travel blog realm has grown since we started in 2006! Since we have been mostly unplugged and I was deathly ill for the last 10 months or so, I think it is amazing that we made the top 50..& only nomadic family with a school age child in that group!
Even happier to discover we were number 15 on Domain authority ( which seems to be an important area that most do not include in these list things). So many great blogs..thanks for putting in the work for this!
Jeanne @soultravelers3 recently posted..Finding a Vacation Rental Apartment in Penang -2
Hey Jeanne, I can only imagine how much traveling blogging has grown since you first started. Hope your health is improving and it’s impressive the kind of lifestyle you live with your family.
Nomadic Samuel recently posted..How To Improve Your Travel Blog & Get on The Top 100

Nomadic Samuel recently posted..Incredible India | Part 26 | Travel Video Slideshow Series
Love these blogs! My only complaint about this is that Alexa is kind of a worthless stat–it only measures how many people who visited your page had the Alexa toolbars installed. Pretty much only bloggers use that toolbar, so it’s really only insight into what other travel bloggers are reading, not the general public. Maybe that doesn’t matter. But I’m involved in the personal finance blogosphere for some freelance stuff I do, and they are having a lot of issues right now because they do a similar list like this based on Alexa, but they’ve found that almost nobody but bloggers use the toolbar, so it artificially inflates the numbers when the same bloggers visit each others’ sites. It’s caused a lot of infighting because it’s a poor way to judge a blog’s general popularity.
Emily recently posted..My Favorite Dish in Costa Rica: Steamed Sea Bass
Hey Emily,
I hear where you’re coming from. Alexa is certainly flawed; however, I’ve actually found it very useful for this list. Firstly, it’s devalued (only 25%) of the ranking whereas SEOmoz is 75%. There are a lot of older blogs that don’t update very much and aren’t receiving much traffic at all that have good SEOmoz indicators. By including Alexa it ensures all of the blogs on this list are current and updated frequently. Although, it is flawed blogs such as Everything Everywhere, Nomadic Matt, The Planet D, and y Travel Blog all receive a lot of traffic in real life and it is reflected well also by their Alexa score.
Nomadic Samuel recently posted..Incredible India | Part 26 | Travel Video Slideshow Series
Love the blogs and I hope that I’d be able to go through all of them and I know that they’ve got good stuff! Thanks!

Federico recently posted..Snorkeling in Hanauma Bay, Hawaii (Video)
Thanks, glad to see you on it!
Well done for all the hard work Samuel.
It’s good to see a list not just focusing on Alexa, and a list that openly states were it gets it’s data from.
There’s a lot of work in keeping something like this going, I certainly wish you the best and look forward to your updates!
Hey Dave,
That’s a good point about Alexa. I’ve devalued it considerably more than most lists. I find it very useful for this list (in a diminished role) as it prevents older sites that aren’t updating much (have decent SEOmoz) from making it on here while keeping sites that are current in the mix.
Nomadic Samuel recently posted..Street Scene | Old Dhaka, Bangladesh | Photo Essay
Nice list and a lot of hard work involved, I can only begin to imagine.
Is it possible to consider my blog too for the next update please? Thank you!
Absolutely Laura! You’ve been added to the tracking list for the next update
Definitely a cool idea! Glad someone finally started something like this. Other niches like the financial niche has top 100 sites. This will be something to aim for.
Derek recently posted..Buy Delta Miles For 75% Bonus
Awesome to hear Derek! Hope to see you on it soon
Nomadic Samuel recently posted..Street Scene | Old Dhaka, Bangladesh | Photo Essay
I was going to comment about Alexa being included but I see you already addressed that and are not weighting it as much. It is seriously flawed in my opinion. I have gone from a rank in the 140,000s to 191,000 over the last couple months while my traffic has steadily increased. It makes no sense.
One question – where can you find your SEOMoz page rank? I installed the toolbar and see my page authority and domain authority but I don’t see anything for rank.
Thanks!
Katie recently posted..Another Homestay Gone Awry
Hey Katie,
I agree with you about Alexa being flawed. As far as tracking your SEOMoz page rank install the toolbar on Chrome and when you search for your site on google (your exact domainname.com) you’ll notice it then
Nomadic Samuel recently posted..Street Scene | Old Dhaka, Bangladesh | Photo Essay
Awesome, thanks. Found it. I fall just 1 point short in Page Authority otherwise meet all the criteria – you’ll be hearing from me as soon as I bump that up!
Katie recently posted..A Day Trip to Orheiul Vechi

Michela @ RockyTravel Blog recently posted..Grea Rail Journeys in Australia

Vicky recently posted..A Little Bit More About Me…
Content is king, and back links are the heavy lifters, but I am hedging my bets that 2012 will be the year that the Semantic Web starts to take over and our online authority on particular topics starts to weigh in the most. That is at least the position I am taking on all future site design. We shall see.
A great initiative and listing. Thanks also for sharing the key measures and how it is calculated as shows travel bloggers where to focus to help build their sites. Looking forward to seeing my blog on here soon
http://www.TipsForTravellers.com
Thanks Gary, I’ll look forward to including your blog on here in the future. Keep working hard at it
That was a fast reply.Impressive. Love your blog by the way, and you likely seen I retweet many of your posts
I have a few of the measures you lay out to drive up, and on the way and look forward to working my way up the Top 100!
gary bembridge recently posted..Telegraph Cruise Show: Ideal for both first time cruisers and experienced ones
Thanks Gary! It sounds like you’re well on your way
Being number 100 for a few short weeks on Nomadic Samuel’s top 100 list was the crowning achievement in my life. I will always look back at those few wonderful weeks as my glory days. Unfortunately, the removal will also be seen as my downfall. It is drinks, gambling, and loose women from here on out
Actually, that is the way it has always been, so scratch that about this being my downfall

dtravelsround recently posted..Daily Wanderlust: Budapest’s House of Parliament
You’re very welcome D! You deserve to be there. I’m glad the list is giving exposure to blogs that others did not already know about.
While lists like this are as flawed as Alexa and SEOmox, I still find them a useful reference. I would prefer to see a ranking like this on Google analytics numbers. I will share mine.
Chris (Amateur Traveler) recently posted..Book Review: “Let’s Take the Kids to London” by David S. White
Hey Chris, I hear what you’re staying about them being fatally flawed. Maybe someday we’ll be able to share GA info more freely.
I know this is a TON of work for you to create. Like Chris said above, even though they’re not perfect, they do provide a useful snapshot for the bloggers to know how they’re doing relative to others.
I’d also share my GA traffic if it meant a more accurate listing. Thanks for trying to make the least subjective ranking list possible!
Dave recently posted..La Boca in Buenos Aires

Travel Blogging recently posted..Travel Blogs
Thank you! It’s been somewhat challenging but also a rewarding experience putting this list together.
Nomadic Samuel recently posted..Lady Eating Apple | Yangshuo, China | Travel Photo
I’m both happy and sad to have come across this list. I would love to be on the top 100 but had no idea there was so much competition. I’ve been to many of these blogs and a lot of them are great and an inspiration. Nomadic Matt and The Everywherist are a couple of my favorites, plan on checking out yours as well Nomadic Samuel. Looks like I have a lot of work ahead of me before I get there.
Thanks!
Some of the blogs who made the list have only been blogging for roughly a year or two. I think this should give inspiration to those who want to make it on here
Nomadic Samuel recently posted..Lady Eating Apple | Yangshuo, China | Travel Photo
You have put together a great list I must say. It contains a couple of my favorites. Great Job!
Thank you Joy!
Nice lists, I had saved a page similar to this but they stopped updating it, this one is much better… hope to make it on here one day too
While I’m here… your coverage of India is epic! There was a video I watched a while ago where you filmed a kid running along the train tracks and just as he jumped you slowed it down… pretty sure it was your vid… oh no, now I’m not sure if it was yours lol… well anyways that moment is engraved into my brain and I give you fill credit for inspiring me to try and capture an image as good as that too. Cheers!
Thanks Jeremy, hope to see you on here soon! I did make that high speed train ride video
You have a good memory. I can’t wait to take more train rides in India.
Would love to make that list soon!

That’s a tough question I think to answer. I think just being yourself is best
I love these lists, not only showcase excellent blogs, but they give aspiring blogger something to… well… aspire to. Thanks for putting this together. It’s also a great contact list of the big-wigs in the business. Good for them and all the other bloggers on this page.

I have a feeling your site will be on this list sooner rather than later!
Hey Samuel,
For Alexa rankings – I was wondering how important Alexa reviews are? How helpful would it be to get fans and friends to write reviews for your site?
Also, I was trying to get my head around links. 8 out of the whole 9 links I have for my site, are from writing comments like this on other travel sites. Are links that lead TO your site given much more weight than links you create on other sites? Does that make sense?
Cheers, Ailsa

Hey Ailsa,
I’ve heard from others that doing an Alexa review doesn’t impact the rankings much but it certainly wouldn’t hurt to have some done on your site. As far as links are concerned, having somebody put you up on their blogroll or doing a guest post on a site is of much greater value than blog comments which are nofollow links (don’t pass much link juice).
Great list of blogs, some of which I don’t know yet. Looking forward to following them and learning from the best…

What an awesome job you’ve done tracking all these sights, collecting all the data and posting them for us. I really appreciate it. I’ve visited every site on your list and am amazed at the different kinds of travels people are doing.
I’ve been traveling full-time by RV and sailboat for 6 years, and I didn’t seen any RV or cruising blogs on the list. I’d love to make your list some day so folks can see what fun it is to take your home with you on your travels…
The only question I have is that quite a few of the blogs on the list didn’t meet all 3 criteria. Don’t you require that all three criteria be met?? Do you bend those rules sometimes??
