ATTENTION: Before you contact me, be aware of the following. I do not accept link exchanges. If I know and read your personal travel blog, not your business’ website, I may add you to my Links page, but that decision is at my discretion. I also no longer accept sponsored posts unless it directly relates to my blog and its ideology. If you don’t know what it is or haven’t read my blog before, don’t email me. If you do have a well written relevant sponsored post, you can contact me and we will go from there. Also, don’t offer me lowball figures like $30 for three links in a poorly written sponsored post. You won’t like the reply. If you are a travel blogger interested in a guest post, however, feel free to contact me.
If you meet the aforementioned criteria, here’s my blog by the numbers (current as of 4-14-12):
- 3 years blogging
- 1,442 Twitter followers
- 270 Facebook fans
- 450 StumbleUpon connections
- 1,000+ video views on Vimeo, YouTube and TripFilms
- 3,000 page views per month

- 213,380 in the United States
- 176,742 in the United Kingdom
- 86,384 in Australia
- Syndication through the Uptake Travel Gem program and on Travel Avenue
It may not sound like much, but in all honesty, the numbers are just that. You can’t meet up with numbers in foreign cities or count on numbers to leave positive comments or give you advice. So you want to know more about the CITC reader?
