Some of you may consider the picture quality traffic and I would agree with you because it’s not bumper to bumper. However, if that’s what you were thinking I think you signed up for the wrong webinar.

Why is this relevant? One – it’s interesting and two, when companies like RezStream who do internet marketing for a living talk specifically about Google, this is the reason why. Google is where it’s at. That doesn’t mean you don’t pay attention to the others but everyone wants to do well on Google because that’s where everyone is.
What is your 2014 occupancy?
Which channel drives the most new guests?
Which looks better? The left, which is an OTA showing you and all your competition or the right, which is all of your available units. Just your units. Thank goodness I don’t need to put up a poll question for this one.
