Guest Posted January 16, 2003 Posted January 16, 2003 Hi, I'm checking on the status of www.exclusivehotels-riviera.com that I submitted to Regional: Europe: France: Travel and Tourism: Lodging: Hotels I think that this category is not the best ... so i submitted again the website to Regional: Europe: France: Regions: Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur: Alpes-Maritimes: Travel and Tourism: Lodging: Hotels I wait your answer Thanks a lot in advance Best regards Jeremy
totalxsive Posted January 16, 2003 Posted January 16, 2003 It is highly unlikely that your site will be accepted since it uses an affiliate booking system. I don't think the site has sufficient alternative content to be listed on its own.
Guest Posted January 17, 2003 Posted January 17, 2003 Thanks for your answer Yes our Website use an affiliate booking system but a lot of websites use affiliate booking systems ... Each website can't have his own booking system ... I don't think that ODP just list the major websites, with their own booking system ... Our website has a unique content and his own design ... So do you think our website can be listed on ODP ? If yes, can you tell me the status of the submission ? If not, what can we change to be listed in ODP ? Thanks a lot for your help. Jeremy

Your site is offering nothing new to the surfer - just the same list of hotels with the same booking agent. >> Our website has a unique content... << What unique content? I couldn't find anything specific. >> ...and his own design ... << This counts for zilch. We don't rate sites on how they look, only on how much unique content they have and how useful they are to the user. >> If not, what can we change to be listed in ODP ? << Well, perhaps some more in-depth reviews of the hotels (rather than just a few lines), user contributed reviews and/or a rating system; basically anything that the other hotel booking sites do not have.
