“There are some peculiarities `about the way these online travel websites such as ibibo, Agoda, clear trip what they do that if a hotel have their quota of rooms completed than in the search engine for hotels these will be shown in later pages and in the front pages only the hotels that have rooms comes upon.
In this way if yours rooms have cleared them for sure you will find that your rank in these hotels will come down in the search engine and that is also not good any more.
One needs to understand that while calculating all of these hotels in searches must be ahead so that a teaming up with understanding of these situations comes upon upfront and showcase how all of these should be seen in upfront.
On the other hand in search engines such as Google, Bing or Yandex that we do see that it appears in relationship with how the brand of hotel performs and for this there is no worry whatsoever about it as and when the name of yours appears in the search list it continues to perform better.
The main aim of these hotel selling websites is that most hotels are subscribed by them and their sole aim is to sell these hotels online so that they can receive commission with it and most of the time five percent of selling price.”
