See my other thread.Just wondering if anybody has renewed there TA business listing recently. We were quoted an amount almost double our previous year. Which without asking was reduced by 15%, I said it was too much and another 5% was reduced from the price. In their minds I'm getting 20% off, in my mind I'm paying a lot more than the previous year. Anybody else?.
Mine jumped about 50% from last year, was offered 10% discount, not good enough.
My googl e adwords campain is frequently limited by budget and gives me a much cheaper CPC than ta, so even if I was going to spend that amoung of money on online marketing (which I'm not) it would be far better spent increasing my adwords budget than giving it to ta.
And as I've said elsewhere, I REALLY object to the fact that I'm paying a lot of money (IMHO) for a tiny link on their page when they have a large box for dated searches actively encouraging my potential customers to search my local competitors for rooms.

I agree.Highlands John said:And as I've said elsewhere, I REALLY object to the fact that I'm paying a lot of money (IMHO) for a tiny link on their page when they have a large box for dated searches actively encouraging my potential customers to search my local competitors for rooms.
I have just the basic account, I think it is like $65 a month. I don't have a compatible tripconnect booking engine, so they prominently display a way to check for bookings of other hotels on my PAID page. This really irks me.
Oh, and THAT IS NOT MY PHONE NUMBER EITHER... They now added a 'feature' that forwards their phone numbers to your phone number. I need to go opt out of this today. Think about it. If guests save your number, and want to stay with you again, they will call 'tripadvisor' and not me if I don't pay for future service.... What is that all about?
