large_1526dsc013121.jpgSome might not have heard about Sea Isle City before, me either. I got to know this island city from the recent tropical storm disaster (Hana) that hit most of the South Eastern part of USA’s Atlantic Ocean’s coastline, started worst in Haiti and weakening towards North Carolina, without hitting Sea Isle City. Sea Isle City is one of the most popular family travel destination in Cape May County, New Jersey of United States. It is located  along the Atlantic Ocean, east of USA and not water. Though it is widely considered as an island city, Sea Isle actually shares its land on Ludlam Island with neighbor, Strathmere.

Sea Isle BeachWith more than 30% of residents being Irish ancestry, Sea Isle City is a beach town with most of its housing used for vacation rentals and second homes. It has a 1.5 mile beachfront promenade and several arcades, shops, restaurants and bars in the center of town. Visitors from all over the world come here for its serene environment. You can stay in one of those beach front bangalows, relaxing under the beautiful sun while kids are having fun on the beach and enjoying sun setting at the same time. It is just a perfect holiday destination for families. For those who are adventurous can even drive down to the nearby Atlantic casinos for some luck try!

Sea Isle CityIf you are wondering any city rentals Sea Isle travel agency could help arranging accomodation in Sea Isle, FREDA Real Estate Agency located in Landis Avenue of Sea Isle City is one of the trusted company in the city. It serves Sea Isle City Rentals and Sale needs since 1955. For those who are interested to visit Sea Isle for a family vacation, you can rent either a resort chalet, condo or townhouse for a period in the city. For your information, many of the properties there are actually second homes to expariates. You can log on to Freda’s website for more information. If you have any other family travel destination to share with other travelers, do let me know by commenting this post. Cheers! – Travel Feeder.

Gold Coast         I’m not self-promoting, mate! I’m just being an observer viewing from a helicopter at those popular travel blogs in the blogophere and I’m also trying hard to learn from them too! My conclusion is those popular travel blogs have certain common characteristics and features and I hope my finding here could be a preliminary guide to whoever going to start blogging travel OR just starting to blog about travel (that’s me!). If you these would interest you, please read on. If not, please read on too. :(

Here are the top 5 undisputable keys to success:

  1. Great content – Yes. The contents must be great and original. It sounds simple but actually not. You have to post something interesting and informative blog and other people likes to read about. It could be either your travel experience, the latest travel related news or travel tips. Moreover, your writing skill have also to be lively and humorous, or sometime narrative enough to attract people to continue reading. It could also be some other people’s experience but first blog it by you! On top of that, good contents have to be continuous and frequent but not once and for all;
  2. Great Blog Design – Eye catching and refreshing blog design certainly a must in all popular travel blogs. Travelling is all about leisure so travel blogs have also to be entertaining and exciting. Colour scheme in this case could be more vibrant but navigation about blog must still be easy;
  3. Full of links – Links about travel related information, travel tips, hotel information, airline  booking links are among those popular lists in those popular travel blog. Travelers visit your travel blog for stories about travel and they are definitely interesting to know more about other related travel info. The more beneficial travel links your blog has, the more often your readers will visit you again;
  4. Great Photos – This is the first thing that caught my attention. Travel blog is always related to travel photos. Photos for travel destination, travel experiences, travel news, foods or even happening on your travel. In order to make up a complete travel weblog, writing must be accompanied with related photos, or illustration. Sunshine coast harbour          Nice photos could always attract people drop-by your blog more often. Not all travelers afford to travel the world and they will appreciate your photos to that travel destination more if it’s original. You may want to include some sneak shots to places or people that we will not be able to see from the newspapers or magazines!, and
  5. Personality of the author – This is the most important aspect of a popular travel blog! I put it here as the last key because it overrides the all other top 4 characteristics above!! Why I think the author is so important? Let’s imagine this: Will you visit a travel blog, IF, it’s author is Barack Obama? Or Bill Gate? Or Jakie Chan? Or Brad Pitt? Angelina Jolie? Who else? No matter how bad is the story, the blog design, the photos, huge amount of people will still visit their travel blogs, right? Beside those celebrities or Billionaires, travel blogs of a girl will have certain advantages over those of a guy! (you can dispute this though but it’s my finding and I’m not sexist! ).

What do you think? There are other features that could make a travel blog popular off course and that’s up to you folks to figure out. Or you could always comment on my above Top 5 characteristics. If you agree on what I’m posting here, you may prefer to subscribe for free RSS updates of Travel Feeder. However, for those who blog travel for other travelers in this world will need to achieve these standards if you want to popularise your blog. I’m learning…. :)Travel Feeder.
