last night i read about LastMinute.com selling to Sabre Holdings (operators of Travelocity).
well i was just wondering… back in the day i built DiscountHotels.com… which now is one of the UGLIEST websites anyone could ever submit their credit card too. when i built it… it wasnt pretty… but it wasn’t that stinking ugly… and it was very optimized for search engine traffic. in fact shortly after launch it began climbing in bookings. with competition and no additional optimization done after launching it settled down to good (but not ever increasing) number of bookings. ahhh… i couldve turned it into a freaking monster… argh…
anyways i was just wondering what it’s booking now per day avg. so my OT buddies out there… can you give me a lil insight… just for curiousity sake. im sure its gotten worse… i’d bet at least 50% since the last time i was privledged to the numbers.
o and let this be KNOWN: Search Engine Optimization is an ONGOING BATTLE.. not a 1 time task.
I totally agree with that last statement. If someone truly wants SEO work, they don’t understand that its not just – optimize and your done.

Yep, someone at OT must’ve done some housekeeping. I can’t get in either (could a month or 2 ago). Oh well.
I will have to agree though that they really ruined DiscountHotels.com, but then again, that’s Hank’s specialty.
you should try logging in using username :******** password:********
that is one way in…lmao
there are other ways…maybe sometime over a beer.
later

I cracked up too! lol and checked stats… great security OT has, err… whoever they are now.
