Its ranked #24 out of millions of websites and has something like 34 million website hits per month--which I believe is unique hits. I've noticed, however, that I've done a couple searches on my iPhone on Yelp and various businesses have had the wrong addresses or no telephone number. For hotels wanting to capitalize on this social network its critical to provide updates to this info. Nothing like leaving money on the table when you could have rectified the situation in 5 to 10 minutes. Hotels are uniquely positioned to host Yelp events if they are in a major city (NYC, SF, LA, DC, ATL) which tend to have elite Yelp groups. They could host an app, beer, and wine tasting. I don't know what Yelp charges to set up these events, but its a great way to offer your services to community influencers who are extremely passionate about food. Yelp is fantastic and only growing.

It's wonderful how people can contribute their knowledge about locations that we might not have even known about thirty years ago. Social networking and travel definitely go hand in hand.
