Due to my displeasure with TripAdvisor and their multi-tiered payment system, I removed the 'widget' on my blogroll. Today I noticed I was being followed by a TripAdvisor prompt for "Hotels in Madawaska". So I clicked. There are places in Deep River and Bancroft shown on the ensuing page, and 2 of the "competition" in Madawaska BUT NOT RED DEER LOG CABINS. That, in spite of that I am rated the #1 property in Madawaska (yeah, big fish, little pond. Originally I was #3 in the Algonquin Park region, but they killed that category). I am not participating with the booking engines, and so my listing DOES NOT SHOW
!
So much for their insistence that rankings are governed by review ratings.
I am going to put the widget back up and see what happens next.
Lets just remember, they appropriated my property as inventory.
Revenge will be sweet when all of those listed properties get a tax bill from Obama. I hope it happens soon. According to the IRS rules, Canadians making money using US websites owe both countries tax.
