Here is a quick and brilliant lesson on the future of search engines, and how hotels (and others) will be able to utilize their “back to the future” functionality.  Keywords are not the be all end all.

SEO PEOPLE! MARKETERS!  WEB DESIGN!  and hotel people to boot….. some really interesting thoughts

While I have endless philosophical questions for Trip Advisor hanging and waiting and looking to be answered by their tireless hotel relations team, I note something that is perturbing.

I am writing a slough of management responses for hotels, and note that my consistent, patterned behaviour of responding, and including my email, has just been bounced at the door.

After writing something along the lines of 20-30 replies, the submission team has rejected my responses for having an email.

These sort of jagged inconcistensies are going to be problematic long run.

However, they are REALLY F*?!*#$ annoying when you are simply trying to do your job.
