I have the same problem trying to understand why there are so few good French travel blog.
It seems to me that all the blogs are obsessed with marketing buzz and tech news.

Merill, maybe there are more readers interested in marketing and tech than in travel? Or it could be that these interested in reading about marketing and tech news are more into reading blogs than those into travel?

I still think there are misconceptions about travel blogs in the UK with many potential readers believing that travel blogs are merely personal dairies of travellers rather than more akin to online travel magazines covering a variety of travel related topics.

Hi Karen.

Great job your doing here. I do think there is a lack of UK travel blogs, not sure why, maybe Brits aren't interested in writing about Travel, than our US counterparts.

Darren, I can't figure out why there are so few UK based travel blogs either. I'm sure that readers like reading about travel but why bloggers aren't producing more material?

Hm Karen,

I noted Wandalust itself is also on Travel Alltop.

And there are more UK travel Blogs....I will check my list and come back to you.

Happy Hotelier, I did see Wandalust on Travel Alltop but not in the top 15. I just looked at the first 15 blog featured on Travel Alltop, as I'm not sure how many readers will look through all the 60+ blogs.

Would be interesting to hear how many UK blog there are in total on the site.
