I have always thought you play with a groillia and you will get hurt. As sheer strength he has. I have never signed up with this and I have not been infected by not signing up. Amazing! even with reports on their sight.Gee I wonder why????? I have been in business for many a year. Plus I Very seldom ask for reviews from my guests. I get feed back in other ways. Tips gifts, And kind words and one more thing I get referrals from guests that have stayed here. I count my blessing.
As I said before I don't like any one using my business name with out my permission. Esepecailly for their profit. Period!!!.

I'm not sure what you're talking about - NONE of us signed up with TA, at least initially. Someone writes a review and you're in their system, whether you want to be or not. So, there's no choice involved in dealing with them - you can't get yourself removed, either. We don't ask for reviews either, but our customers are savvy enough to use TA and Yelp, without prompting for us.

Ok I understand none signed up! But I also have read you pay high price to TA for what? Iam not sure ...is that so you can answere back to the guest that wrote a review? I heard from some it cost them $400.00 plus a year . Iam Missing some thing here. Could be. If so PLEASE correct me. Thank you. I also talk to my guest about TA and have showed them how they have hurt small places with false reports. How they decide what will be put up in writing and how if you disagree it is not always changed.When asked. to remove. . They have thee final word..opps sorry got to go some one at door

You do not have to pay to respond to reviews. You can go into your management account on TA and select any review out there to respond to it.
If you want to have your email address, phone number and website info published on TA then you have to pay. And, yes, it is around $400/year.
Some people find it helps them a lot. Others don't find the same thing. We used to pay to have our website link out there but we did not get a lot of clicks so we did not pay for another year. Others have completely different results.
Lots of guests say they 'found you on TA' but whether they started with TA or just looked there later on I don't know. Of all the people who said they always use TA and always write reviews, about 1 wrote a review about us!
