We are using Flickr for the past year and find it a great tool for showcasing our hotel and estate.

Great article !!

I am currently analysing Flickr for my consultancy project and will present the tool in the coming days to the Marketing director.
Searching on the web, I can not find a detailed SWOT analysis on Flickr…

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Sirik

@Josiah

I don’t have specific examples with Picasa, but I guess Google universal Search is indexing first is own content (if enought data available).

I made 1 year ago a post about Google Universal Search and the tourism industry
see in this blog http://tinyurl.com/4jua6r

@Ken – Thanks for stopping by!

@Claude – I agree, Universal Search makes this even more important. Interesting that you mention Picasa – I haven’t seen much hotel activity there. Do you have any specific examples of this?

Thanks for this great post.

With Google Universal Search development, feeding with good content Flickr and others photos service (picasa.google.com) will be a wining SEO strategy for tourism operator.

Best regards

@Jay – I like that idea…there are a lot of ways you can combine sites like Flickr and Facebook or Twitter and Flickr. Doubling up like that can help save time for the hotel marketer, but you have to be careful of just dumping links.

@Shannon – Thanks! I think using media like photos and video is always a smart way to sell your hotel – it gives a much richer experience for someone planning a trip

I’m sold from the photos alone in the article. I agree it is a very good way to market especially since it’s free. Your article is very comprehensive, I have learned a lot from it.
