HOW DO WE GET OUR TRAFFIC?
We drive most traffic to RVtravel.com from our email alerts, which are sent every day (often two or more a day) to as many as 82,000 readers each. Google search is important, but we rely more on growing our mailing lists, now. all special interest groups combined, nearly 120,000-strong. One-third of our income comes from voluntary donations (subscriptions) from more than 6,600 of our readers. That says a lot about the quality and loyalty of our readership. Our readers trust us and we work hard to never betray them. That means, above all, maintaining our editorial integrity.
