During the summer months posts have not been quite a frequent as I would have liked, I regret I was more than a little occupied completely revamping another, pet related blog that I run, but that’s now completed.

Blogging and social networking now occupy a huge chunk of space on the Internet with countless millions of followers. ExchanhgeHomesBlog must be getting something right because our monthly page views have increased slowly yet steadily since this blog launched (initially on Blogger) almost five years ago. Last month (August) we attained 15,254 unique visitors and 39,201 page views.

Unfortunately, I’m more and more having my attention drawn to what I can only describe as “silly” blogs that seem to derive perverse pleasure from deliberately being obtuse and not understanding the concept of home exchange. They then proceed to put home exchange down in a very negative blog post. It’s a pity because a lot of surfers believe what they read or at least assume that there’s no smoke without fire.

Well, thank goodness for worthwhile blogs like The Travel Answer Man.
