TripAdvisor in hot water over ‘red flag’ feature

TripAdvisor’s new “red flag” feature seems to have landed the online travel review site in hot water, as the firm is now facing legal action from disgruntled hoteliers. According to Brand Republic , Deborah Sinclair of the Riverside Hotel and Restaurant and Evesham has initiated defamation proceedings against the travel review site, after her hotel’s TripAdvisor page was red-flagged. Ms Sinclair’s TripAdvisor page now features a warning sign and red text explaining that TripAdvisor has “reasonable cause” to believe that the hotel and its affiliates “may have interfered with traveller reviews”. Ms Sinclair claims that TripAdvisor’s decision to red flag her hotel’s page has undermined her credibility and will likely badly damage her business. As a result, Ms Sinclair has petitioned the courts, requesting that TripAdvisor be made to fully disclose how and why it came to red flag the hotel’s page. The court case is set to be closely watched by hoteliers, travel companies, online review sites and online reputation management agencies, as well as by brands and marketers, as friend reviews and consumer reviews have grown to further influence consumer’s purchase-making decisions

How to Choose a Reputable SEO Company

The two most important elements that qualify companies to promote themselves as SEO experts are competence and professionalism. And the way you find out if a company is competent and professional, as well as legitimate, is to do your due diligence and check their credentials thoroughly, by exercising good old common sense and following these steps: 1. Verify Their Contact Information If the company provides a street address, Google it to see if it’s a real address. If they provide a telephone number, call the number to see if it’s answered by the company or an answering service. If they don’t provide a telephone number, walk away. SEO is serious business

The digital wallet wars begin between Visa and Google

Back in May, both Google and Visa separately announced their intentions to produce a so-called ‘digital wallet’. Each firm’s digital wallet, it was proposed, would take the form of a smartphone app that stores credit card and rewards information which allows people to use their phones to pay for items with a single swipe. These digital wallets would utilise near-field communications technology, a form of short range wireless technology which will enable people to swipe their phone to make a payment, replacing the need to carry cards and a physical wallet. Although other companies are planning to produce mobile payment systems and digital wallets in future, Visa and Google will be the first to put their systems out on the market in the next few months. Google Wallet will be released at the end of summer and Visa’s as-yet-unnamed product will be rolled out at some point in autumn
