I also really appreciate that as a working blogger. He is very forthcoming about his blog and his success. I also really appreciate that as a working blogger.

He's so refreshingly honest, open, and easy to talk to; and he's very happy to share what he's learned. Very grounded. And I love his "personality is king" mantra. I may adopt it as my own...

Very grounded.

Wouldn't his goal of growing an audience be better suited to stretching his sphere as far as possible by allowing the voices of new bloggers?

Hat's off to Gary. I'm going to go inspect his blog very closely to see exactly what he's doing--and then copy all of it :-) Wow, I thought I had looked into the subject well, but you have really done your research on this.

If that site is anywhere near accurate, then Gary is the king by helluva long ways. Does he really get that much traffic? Holy shit! Damn, I’ve never seen compete before.

But seen as they're both American, and writing for American sites I'd say it's accurate for comparison (but not statistically factual) I hasten to add to my hastily added comment — Compete only takes into account USA traffic too.

Today, Gary's Alexa is 31K while Matt's is 27K. They shuffle around in the number 1 and 2 positions in many blog toplists. I'm sure that the traffic champ varies from day to day and week to week depending on what's happening. That's why I'm very interested to see how these forums turn out. If they catch on well, they could give him the push that makes him the undisputed heavyweight travel blogging champion.
