The reason for this is that from 2008 to 2010, travel blog links were very popular, and link exchanges were big back then. However, over the last 10 years, much has changed for this.
Nowadays, more people are resorting to guest postings, versus link exchanges, as this proves more viable for the travel blog. But since the last 10 years, I have also moved away from the personal travel blogging and more of the informative blogging.
Who is Malaysia Asia?
Malaysia Asia is a personal travel blog run by seasoned traveler David Hogan Jr, and I absolutely enjoy traveling and featuring places of interest around Malaysia and Southeast Asia.
Almost 95% of the content you see in this travel blog has been personally written, photographed and visited by me.
I have been traveling since 1987, and have visited quite a number of places around the world from a very young age when digital cameras were the future and good old film was all we had.
With over 30 years of traveling, I can easily say that I have visited all four continents, and since 2016, I have put more focus on Malaysia and Southeast Asia.

Conclusion
The travel links section was removed here due to restrictions made by Google on too many outgoing links. Hence, they have been moved to the new page, just listing down the many travel bloggers from around the world.
Nowadays, there has been a surge in travel bloggers around the world as many people think by having a travel blog, they can score free press trips, familiarization trips and get sponsored by hotels, airlines and brands.
This has put a bad name to the travel bloggers industry, where those who worked really hard in the early days are getting a bad name because of many bad apples out there.
So, now you know the main reason why I removed the Malaysia travel links page. It is to deter overnight bloggers from contacting me to have their links listed for the backlinks.
