Kindness is not the issue. You asked for our opinions and you get them pure and simple. This is what we do here. No one said anything about one another.Well now, that brought some strong opinions!
Let's be kind to each other, ok? Otherwise, we might start feeling uncomfortable asking each other for advice..
I appreciate the apology thank you. I will bear that in mind in the future.Sorry you felt that way no offense intended. We just say it like it is around here. You asked you got an answer. Don't read more into it, just trying to convey our thoughts as they are..

Tamelon, sorry you felt a little threatened. We usually tell it like it is here. - And on the home page Welcome it pretty much warns you: "Opinions, are always honest, sometimes blunt and usually valuable."Tamelon said:Well now, that brought some strong opinions!

No, I never heard of them until now, but then we are not a lodge, resort, or vacation rental. All the ones listed in my town were downtown hotels. I looked up you, OTS, but you are not showing/couldn't find you on their website. Thought you might want to know that.We are listed with them. They do drive some traffic to our site, but I haven't traced any reservations to them specifically yet.
They do represent a different niche than I think of for most B&B's and most participants here on Innspiring.
Thanks very much! I don't scare off that easily. If I did, I wouldn't be in this business!Well now, that brought some strong opinions!

Sick around! We may be blunt but we mean well! Honest!

I see you now but when I check before you weren't around. I checked every listing in your state since I thought I was mixing you up with someone else. I thought maybe the listing has expired. I looked up the site, typed in your state, and it never showed. When i just did it, it showed up. I'm glad you are now showing! Everything is responding correctly on "your page with them". I didn't respond to your post so you can remove the link, or whatever, etc.No, I never heard of them until now, but then we are not a lodge, resort, or vacation rental.

Thanks for the report, Duff. I did a search on their home page for our town and we are showing, but down on the list because they defaulted to a 45-mile search radius! (we also have the lowest level subscription). In the listings specifically for our town, I am seeing us at number 2 behind the LB Resort.No, I never heard of them until now, but then we are not a lodge, resort, or vacation rental.

So that's weird. But I guess different search approaches might yield different results....I see you now but when I check before you weren't around.

Oh good one. Have to have that practiced a few times before trying it out. Of course no one is going to say yes. We aren't dummies LOLI have a new policy I just started when hit up for listing sites:
"Your site isn't familiar to me, and I see that it's traffic numbers are not where we normally want them to be. If you'll allow us to list for one year free, we'll evaluate the site traffic and reservations we receive and if acceptable, will renew at your full fee for the second year. If your product is as effective as you've told me it will be, this should be acceptable to you."
Have said this twice, no one has said yes..
