External links

I've removed some of the external links to commercial sites and marked the article for further spam cleanup. It's difficult to decide which ones should be included, but Wikipedia is not an Internet directory or a mere collection of external links (see Wikipedia:External links). It appears that some sites were added for promotional purposes, leading operators of other sites to follow suit. Wmahan. 17:49, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

Most of the travel blog sites are going to be commercial. This page used to list travelblog.org, travelpod.com, bootsnall.com - which are probably the most established - but this page is systematically vandalised by operators of new sites... reminds me of the ODP. 60.54.141.70 04:16, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

Examples?

Just curious what the criteria are for inclusion. I checked out the examples that were there, and added my own, but mine was removed. Perhaps there shouldn't be any?

Maybe you are right that some of the remaining links don't belong; I'm not endorsing them. But I removed your link because using Wikipedia to promote a site is not allowed, and links to blogs are generally discouraged unless they offer uniquely informative, relevant content. See Wikipedia:External links. In general, you should not add links to your own site to Wikipedia.

I hope that answers your questions, Wmahan. 19:23, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

Have you considered noting recent books on the topic? "Globejotting" by Dave Fox and "The Mindful Traveler" by Jim Currie are both excellent. Mr. Fox also has a fun website called traveljournaling.com with great ideas and exercises.

External link to travel blog as an example of travel literature

Hi

I was wanting to add this external link: http://la-via-lattea.blogspot.com/

I am aware of Wikipedia's general policy of owners of sites not linking back to their sites from here, particularly blogs.

However, the blog is neutral (in the sense that it does not put push any political/religious line or attempt to raise debate or controversy),is not-for-profit, contains no advertising and constitutes a travel blog in the form of a collection of dated short stories.

In the hope that you might consider it worthy of linking as an interesting example of the article's content, I thank you in advance for your time.

Adding an link?

Hi,

I would like to place a link to http://www.searchTravelBlog.com/. I use this site occasionally for searching travelblogs. The site searches only through selected (TravelBlog)sites. So the results of the search returns (most of the time) an blog containing the information you are looking for.

It is based on Google search technologies and for so far I can see there is no advertising. Accept the Google search ads. So I don’t think it is commercial site. Tell me what you think of the site and if I can insert it into the page?

Hi,

I would also like to add a link here. There is a site called http://www.whereryou.com that seems to be applicable. I blog about my travel on my profile and keep all of my notes, reservation numbers and flight numbers there. Would that be appropriate to add? And where would it be appropriate to add it?

Cheers!
