Posting guidelines - PLEASE READ FIRST

2006-04-13T18:33:00.000-07:00

With the increasing number of online directories, it's becoming harder and harder for innkeepers to determine which ones would work best for them. Hopefully we can help each other with this blog. In conjunction with this blog, another source to use is Bed and Breakfast Guidebook Reviews which rates directories from a user's point of view.

To find postings or comments about a particular directory you can browse or use the 'SEARCH BLOG' at the top of the web page.

Here are some initial guidelines to consider for your posts:

Be honest and fair when commenting about a directory. Remember, other innkeepers may be using these reviews to determine where to spend their hard earned money.
Please do not post a review of a directory unless you have direct experience with them.
If you have a comment about past performance of a directory (good or bad) please tell us what the timeframe was.
Items you might consider commenting on are:

Effectiveness in providing clickthrus and bookings.
Ease of setup and updating of information
Responsiveness of directory owner to questions and problems
Other benefits a directory provides (e.g., specials, recipes, maps; availability link: etc.)
Drawbacks of a directory (this will of course be your opinion as your drawback may be someone else's benefit.)

Indicate what region of the country your inn is located as some directories perform better in different regions of the country.
When reporting a problem or bad experience, please try and limit your comments to the facts. As innkeepers we all know the effect of a bad review by a disgruntled guest or competitor. As this blog is unmoderated, I leave it up to the community to police itself.

If anyone has any other comments or suggestions, please post them.

This is an unmoderated blog at this point.

Thanks.....here's hoping we all learn from this blog.
