My Favourite Holiday Cottages

OTA = Online Travel Agency, which means those sites that sell the booking and take the payment for you.

Coincidentally I was having another look at them the other day; every property I looked at that was roughly within my area turned out to be Sykes. I don’t want my property being in amongst a load of Sykes’ offerings.

When I dug deeper, 80% of their listings are from agencies.

My Favourite Holiday Cottages do have a filter for searching their site which is labelled "Independent Cottages” (ie those not with an agency); I don’t know how Google searches work (does anyone outside of Google’s Inner Circle?) but could that be why they show up on a search for IC, or is it a coincidence?

Many thanks Greenbarn.

Interestingly, yesterday I saw that someone new was listed as joining the forum. They had an unusual name so I clicked on it to discover that it is a SEO organisation linked to google!
