So should I be pleased? I think not. I suspect a page view is not a page view but counts each time my property appears in a search result, whether viewed by the user or not - and because OD have widened the geographic search area for any set of results (more than doubled it for my location) it shou...

This really is off topic but here goes Thanks for the feedback and extra comments - I hadn't considered the SEO context but I guess we never expect to get guests searching for us as we only list on OD (no doubt this will have to change). Interesting points abode - thanks. Whether people would use a ...

Bookings from "Point of Sale" merchandising
Forgive the buzz words in the title (I have a retail background) but point of sale (POS) material is an age old and well proven technique - think Mary Portas (love her or hate her - I'm a fan).
