Travel Pod Surpasses Membership Goals

The Web`s Original Travel Blog, Travel Pod, recently announced that it has exceeded its third quarter growth prediction. Thanks to a few central factors that Travel Pod has implemented in the past few months, it has past the 15,000 member threshold before its intended date. `The Webs Original Travel Blog is now signing more than 3,000 new members every month, twice the rate accomplished in the second quarter of this year,` said Martin Horne, President.

The company reported that Travel Pod now entertains more than 150,000 unique visitors and more than 15 million hits each month. `But that is still only one side of our success story,` said Horne. `Travel Pod is all about people sharing their personal travel experiences. That means we rely on both the travel writers and the travel readers.` To attract readers, Travel Pod has expanded its reach into the worldwide community of travel enthusiasts through partnerships with some of the most respected names in the industry including Lonely Planet, Kayak, and the Travel Advisory Network.

`Our site visitors are the readers and our members are the writers,` said Horne. To reward the loyalty of active members, and to attract new writers, Travel Pod has committed to a continuous site enhancement program. We spare no effort to make Travel Pod great fun, easy-to-use, and the leader in travel blogging features and functionality,` says Horne. `We aim to remain the preferred place to share travel stories on the Web.`
