| Offer reviews and make sure the month/year the person reviewing is an option. Ability for users to upload photos. Free WiFi/Internet access should be highlighted if available. Ability for hotel owner to "upgrade" their listing. Distance from city centre should be a field too. Cloak outbound "book now" links and send the clicker through using your affiliate URL |

Users as in people browsing or hotel owners? That makes sense I'd planned on that option for later ie. when there are enough listings Nice. I hadn't thought of that. Quote:

| As Redfly said ... users should be able to upload photos ... its quite cool on tripadvisor to see pictures of the places I've got to question though how important it is to show pagerank on the pages ? Dublin Airport Hotels*«*Dublin Hotels*«*Irish Hotel Search*:: Places to Stay in Ireland Is it a good indication of how good a hotel is or just a good indication of how good their SEO is ?

I'll have to check the settings, but I've found that website owners seem to like their PR displaying .. Now that may not apply to hoteliers, so I could easily disable it - one click solution really

Hm.... well it could mean more business for SEO people Still though as a casual visitor to the site I find the PR thing strange ... I don't know what it is ,,, PageRank ... is this how popular the site is ... is this hotel searches recommendation .... why are most of the hotels only getting 2 - 5 out of 10 I'm paying for a 5 star hotel I expect it to be 10 / 10 As a webdesiger at the moment I'm not giving much heed to PR more important to me is where the site is on certain keywords. Given PR doesn't get updated that often and seems to be a bit of a strange beast in my eyes the best it can act as is a simple enough indication to a customer they need to do some more work as their site is only 1/10 [again I'm not an seo expect but hoping to get there eventually |

| Your better off looking at what the bigger sites are offering as default standard information. The internet thing is tricky, there are 3 kinds in hotels. WiFi, Ethernet and Internet via TV. So you would have to show the icons or text for that hotel otherwise you will find yourself in trouble with hotels for advertising the wrong information. For instance >> Clarence Hotel, 5* Hotel, Dublin Another good idea is showing local attractions and distance also how far from the local airport and stations. @Blacknight: Hotels dont care about page rank, they dont even understand it and trust me on that. I was the head of IT & Development for one of the largest hotel reservation companies in Ireland. And we spent thousands getting the content / icons right. |

| Actually I won't trust you on anything as you still haven't apologised for your stupid accusation or published my comment on same.
