All,
We just got back from our state B&B conference. I went primarily because Acorn-is.com was presenting and was not disappointed.
They analyzed 7000 bookings of their clients and provided this summary of the sources of those conversions:
Direct Hits - 30%
Organic Search Engines - 23% (of that Google 73%, Yahoo 10%, Other 17%)
B&B Directories - 19% (they recommended the usual suspects bedandbreakfast.com, bbonline.com, bnbfinder.com, lanierbb.com. They also referenced bnblist.com but not iloveinns.com.)
General Travel Sites - 12%
Email - 8%
Pay Per Click - 6%
Other - 2%
Total - 100%
As a plug for them, y'all should check out their portfolio of web designs:
http://acorn-is.com/portfolio-new-designs.html
I think they do a pretty credible job for their clients. I like this one:

Anyway, read all about it: http://acorn-is.com/pdf/bbic-handout-2008-state-mtg.doc
Check out their maps application linked off this page and the foreign language translation application.
