Booking Engine SEO Question

[lanigreg]

Hello, I am working on a travel site-mostly content based, but for the deals section of the site, we were thinking of being powered by expedia...if we go with a booking engine (Expedia) will that hurt us with regards to SEO?  If Google is looking for content and not another booking engine how can we overcome this?  Do you think this approach is positive? any thoughts or advice on this, thanks so much.

Hi there

So you would provide lots of great and unique deals info on your site for your visitors before linking across to Expedia just to make the booking? If so that is fine and should not hurt your SEO at all.

If you are replicating Expedia content on your site then that is not so good. Just make sure all the descriptive content is unique and you'll be fine.

All the best, Wendy
