If you don't want to consume money, you should have about 15 hours a day free and in this time do all seo works you have learned and it takes about 1 year that you see your blog in high positions of Google results
In your business you should consume money for promoting your website/blog as its a very competitive subject.

There are many technique in internet marketing through that you can promote your website or blog. Its totally depend on you that you want to optimize blog by using SEO techniques or By SEM means paid advertising or by Social media optimization. I hope that you have knowledge of all the techniques.

As Chrishirst said, travel is one of the most competitive, super-saturated markets out there on the web. It's VERY difficult to find sources of back links for travel sites. So if you don't want to spend money promoting the site with PPC then you're basically stuck w/ 2 options:

1) write great content, build a community, and wait a couple years for your efforts to pay off or
2) pick another niche.

Sucks... but that is what it pretty much boils down to.

Try to find those forums which are travel forum and post there regularly, it is the best option to drive traffic.

Feature it as a travel blog on sites like UpTake.com - they have a travel gem program...

I have a blog that was featured on there and it brought some traffic over. PM me if you want to know more - or email me at aph7824 @ g mail.com

Right!

My suggestion is that you find another subject to "blog" about.

Bit harsh, but fair.

Just to SEO then make your blog to come top of google that would to for peaple searching for travel blog

I have worked in one Travel site and do article for link exchange for the site and really good results. Try this method it will surely help you.

I have a same question with you,
However, i know that you should go to the travel forum and post threads there, but sure that all of your words in your blog are legal.

Link building with another travel blog is the good way to promote your blog.
