A married couple of 21 years that decided to leave our careers in the lm industry in 2009 to pursue a life of travel.\n\nWe have been living the life of digital nomads ever since, without an address or place to call home. During the past eight years, we&#8217;ve done adventures on seven continents and more than 100 countries.\n\nBut we are very excited because we just moved back to our hometown of Toronto, Canada, and are getting ready to finally have a home base again. We will still continue to travel, but after several years, we will have a place to call home between trips.\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5442 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/things-to-do-in-south-africa-male-lion-689x460.jpg\" alt=\"A lion surveys the savannah.\" width=\"689\" height=\"460\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/things-to-do-in-south-africa-male-lion-689x460.jpg 689w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/things-to-do-in-south-africa-male-lion-441x294.jpg 441w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/things-to-do-in-south-africa-male-lion-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/things-to-do-in-south-africa-male-lion.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 689px) 100vw, 689px\" \/>\n<h2>How did you get started blogging?<\/h2>\nBefore we started our travel blog we were freelancers in the Toronto film industry. Dave worked in the lighting department on such feature films as Chicago and The Incredible Hulk. Deb worked in as a makeup artist for Canadian television. Between contracts, we went traveling every spare moment we had and after splitting our time between work and travel for seven years, we finally decided to take the plunge and travel full time.\n\nComing from a lm background, we decided to pitch a TV show about an average couple that took on extraordinary adventures. Our first trip was to sign up for the Tour d&#8217;Afrique, the world&#8217;s longest cycling race from Cairo, Egypt to Cape Town, South Africa. We felt we needed to do something epic to stand out from the crowd and it worked.\n\nWe hired a publicist and received a lot of publicity. We started The Planet D to keep people up to date on our race through Africa and to use as a place where people could see our media appearances, videos and photography to help us sell our show.\u2028The TV show didn&#8217;t pan out, but we found that people were interested in our travels and after Africa, we began to draw on our previous travel experiences to share on our blog. It grew quickly and we knew that was our future.\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5398 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/The-Planet-D-V.jpg\" alt=\"Because when you stop and look around this life is pretty amazing.\" width=\"800\" height=\"538\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/The-Planet-D-V.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/The-Planet-D-V-441x297.jpg 441w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/The-Planet-D-V-768x516.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/The-Planet-D-V-684x460.jpg 684w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\n<h2>How long have you been a Mediavine publisher?<\/h2>\nWe&#8217;ve been Mediavine publishers for one year.\n<h2>What was it that drew you to us as a partner for your display advertising?<\/h2>\nWe were drawn to Mediavine because we saw other travel publishers rave about it. We liked the fact that there was a lot of support right off the top. We had an on-boarding session with a Mediavine expert who helped us fix our sidebar sizing to accommodate Mediavine ads and Mediavine even put us in touch with a web developer to help with some site speed and optimization.\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5414 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/The-Planet-D-VII.jpg\" alt=\"A hiker treks across snow-covered ground, dragging a sled of supplies behind them.\" width=\"1024\" height=\"679\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/The-Planet-D-VII.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/The-Planet-D-VII-441x292.jpg 441w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/The-Planet-D-VII-768x509.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/The-Planet-D-VII-694x460.jpg 694w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\n<h2>How has that evolved over time?<\/h2>\nMediavine is always changing and the support system is fantastic. They have added video ad options and they let the publishers decide whether they want to show videos or not. They are constantly updating advertisers and finding new ways to increase revenue. They also make sure to keep site speed at an optimum levels for the publishers.\n<h2>How do you think blogging has changed since you started?<\/h2>\nBlogging has changed so much since we first started. When we took the plunge to travel full time in 2009, we didn&#8217;t even have a proper smart phone. We updated our daily activities like a diary at Internet caf\u00e9s or the occasional wifi hot spot that we could find in India.\n\nSocial media wasn&#8217;t as prominent as it is today. We were huge Twitter users, but that was it. No Instagram, Facebook or Snapchat.\n\nWe have noticed that our daily diary type updates on the blog have been taken over by our social media. What we used to put on The Planet D daily, is now shared through Tweets or Instagram stories.\n\nOur blog posts are now more in-depth resources that give a lot of information for those looking to travel.\nOur personalities and the inspirational side of the blog is coming through more on Youtube videos and social media.\n\nWhen we first stared, we had no idea how to make money blogging and weren&#8217;t sure if it was even possible. We just knew that we loved to travel, we loved to create and we loved to share our experiences with our readers.\nThere weren&#8217;t the resources like today where we could learn how to run a blogging business; we literally made it up as we went along.\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5399 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/The-Planet-D-IV.jpg\" alt=\"It is better to see something once than to hear about it a thousand times.\" width=\"533\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/The-Planet-D-IV.jpg 533w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/The-Planet-D-IV-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/The-Planet-D-IV-306x460.jpg 306w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 533px) 100vw, 533px\" \/>\n<h2>What&#8217;s the best part of the blog world for you?<\/h2>\nWe love being able to work together and to have control of our own destiny. The blog world is always evolving and if you keep your ear to the ground and continue to learn, there are endless possibilities to achieve success.\n\nIt&#8217;s creative and always a challenge and we enjoy the game of constantly looking for ways to be better at our craft.\n<h2>What&#8217;s the worst part of blogging for you?<\/h2>\nThe lack of balance we&#8217;ve had in our lives. We&#8217;ve constantly worked to have more time at home. We have spent eight years in constant motion and we very rarely stop.\n\nWhen you love what you do, it&#8217;s easy to have it take over your life. But it has taken a toll. We don&#8217;t have regular a circle of friends. Most of our interactions happen online and we feel it&#8217;s important to connect in real life.\n\nWe&#8217;re hopeful that is all going to change now that we have a home base again and are going to take shorter trips so that we can reconnect with friends and family.\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5419 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/The-Planet-D-III.jpg\" alt=\"Live with no excuses and travel with no regrets.\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/The-Planet-D-III.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/The-Planet-D-III-441x294.jpg 441w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/The-Planet-D-III-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/The-Planet-D-III-689x460.jpg 689w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\n<h2>Who are your FAVORITE bloggers?

Because of this, we ended up at the top of a lot of search terms.\n\nWe focused on building our brand, which led to a lot of interviews and media appearances that helped to build links back to The Planet D by default.\n\nBy building a solid base of information and a strong brand our blog obtained a strong domain authority and now when we write a post with a focused theme or piece of information, we have a good chance of ranking well.\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5444 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/about-dave-and-deb-theplanetd-690x460.jpg\" alt=\"Deb and Dave snapping a selfie at the beach.\" width=\"690\" height=\"460\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/about-dave-and-deb-theplanetd-690x460.jpg 690w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/about-dave-and-deb-theplanetd-441x294.jpg 441w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/about-dave-and-deb-theplanetd-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/about-dave-and-deb-theplanetd.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 690px) 100vw, 690px\" \/>\n<h2>Do you have any advice for bloggers on how to grow their traffic?<\/h2>\nWrite good content. It sounds cliche but when you give your readers something that they need, they will continue to come back. Be it information, inspiration, humor or whatever your strength is, continue to give people a reason to come back to your blog.\n\nDon&#8217;t focus on writing posts strictly for keywords and search engine placings, write because you want to convey information to your readers.\n\nIn the beginning especially, let people see your personality and stay consistent. As you grow you can branch out a bit, but you really need to have a clear and consistent voice for people to know what to expect when they come to your blog.\n<h2>Anything else you&#8217;d like to add to help other bloggers grow?<\/h2>\nHave patience. Traffic and audiences won&#8217;t grow overnight. It&#8217;s by consistently posting content, interacting on social media, and writing for others that you will eventually build your blog. Too many people are looking for a quick solution to growing, when it takes time to build a foundation.\n<h2>What&#8217;s the one thing on any restaurant menu you MUST order?<\/h2>\nCheese for Deb.
