Review my Hotel Deal Finder Website

Hey, I'm learning something!

Thanks Silentg and RobM and others for your contributions!

Yeah, I was looking at custom coded website. It would cost from $1500-2500

The thing with booking.com is they expect you to host all their files in your own database if you want to use your own custom configuration with their xml feed. This also includes the images which total about 70Gb. Combine this with daily changes, deletions, additions, etc and it's not a 2 minute job - and that's just maintaining the data. I set up a system allowing people to create sites using my databases along with their own booking.com affiliate id but it generated little interest. Perhaps look at their white label options although you are then limited on how the search engines will see your site.

unlimited share bandwith with hosting should not be an issue

Wasn't saying it was. Just that a complete system takes a little more thought and programming than using the white label option. Hence his quote of $1500-$2500 for a custom coded site. Personally I think that's cheap.

How about adding some content, or content in the form of reviews to the site?

I agree if you are targeting a larger base of audience, you might have to consider getting a more 'generic' name, but reviews with the domain as the main keyword could do you a ton of good?

Best of luck...
