Welcome to Volume V of the Top 100 Travel blogs!

I can’t believe this is the already the fifth update of this list!  I had originally been planning to update it roughly every 8-12 weeks but lately I’ve been doing it once a month.  Thanks again to everyone who has taken interest in the list and helped to support it with social media.

On this particular update SEOmoz was kind to all of us.  I don’t think many sites slipped in the rankings (like what happened on the last update) as there was much less volatility.  Some sites are consistently making Domain and Page Authority gains every update and the hard work they’ve been putting into there sites from a quality content and link building perspective is very impressive!

Every update strong travel blogs are being added to the tracking list.  For those sites that have fallen out of the top 100 or even the top 130 don’t get discouraged.  The competition on this list gets fiercer each month and there are so many strong travel blogs with passionate individuals behind them.

Traveling Ted wrote a hilarious post the other day about life after dropping out of The Top 100 travel blogs list - ecstasy for initially being included & ultimate fall from grace.  Well, I’m thrilled to announce Traveling Ted  is back on the list!

On this update I’ve tracked 157 sites meaning every category is now ranked out of a possible 157 points all the way down to 1.

The top 100 travel blogs as ranked by Alexa.

Alexa is the ranking system that measures a travel blog’s traffic.  The following is a cut & paste explanation straight from the source:

“Alexa computes traffic rankings by analyzing the Web usage of millions of Alexa Toolbar users and data obtained from other, diverse traffic data sources. The information is sorted, sifted, anonymized, counted, and computed, until, finally, we get the traffic rankings shown in the Alexa service.  The traffic rank is based on three months of aggregated historical traffic data from millions of Alexa Toolbar users and data obtained from other, diverse traffic data sources, and is a combined measure of page views and users (reach). As a first step, Alexa computes the reach and number of page views for all sites on the Web on a daily basis.”

The lower the score the better your rank.  Read more about Alexa rankings by clicking here.  Travel blogs are ranked by Alexa from 100 to 1 based on top score to bottom score.
