We Are The Best Australian Bed and Breakfast Web Site |
||||
| OZbedandbreakfast was started in June 2001. In the past, you could go to any internet search engine and look for B&Bs and only have 6 results come up. Today, large search engines index tens of thousands of B&B related pages. We aim to be the most regarded as THE standard for Australian Bed and Breakfast listings on the web.
There are many other Australian Bed and Breakfast web sites on the internet, but none have the power and simplicity of OZBedandBreakfast.com. We have designed this site so that anyone can use it: from the latest versions of Netscape/MS Internet Explorer/Firefox, to the oldest text browsers such as Mosaic: They all work on our web site. You will NEVER see a "This site optimized for Netscape" on our site. We won't alienate your potential next client. It's a hard fact that many people browsing this site from overseas do NOT have the latest internet technology at their disposal; some are a few years behind in technology. No problem: everything will work on this web site. |
||||
We Are Inexpensive and Designed to Stay That Way |
||||
| We give you a complete color listing for a low fee of either a one-time $55 admin fee for a standard listing or $99/year Blue Ribbon membership. Fee dependant on your level of membership. Many others charge up to $500 without having nearly the audience that we attract. We ONLY list Australian Bed and Breakfasts. Our format is simple, powerful and internationally recognizable since we use graphics to represent data.
We have developed a proprietary database technology which allows us to offer free information and search functionality Our database technology generates the content of the web site dynamically, as well as generating renewal letters, reports and other statistics about this web site. It is all self contained within one program. Many of our competitors create your web page by hand, tediously, without any method of tracking the data that goes into those pages. You'd like your description changed?, no problem, we edit your record in our database and it goes online immediately, or you can edit your page with us using BBProfiler technology. Check it right now and see how powerful and easy it is to use! Our database can tell us, for example, who is up for renewal in August, who has not renewed yet in July, how many people subscribed in the first quarter of 2000 allowing us to forecast our advertising budget for the next quarter, print reminder letters to overdue subscribers, generate your web page etc. How does all of this technology affect you? All of these state of the art techniques allow us to cut overhead and keep the price low. It only requires 2 people to manage this web site since we have developed such a powerful database tool for tracking/adding Bed and Breakfasts. A good demonstration of this technology is upgrading your web page: For example, we recently added more information to the web pages, "Which Credit Cards Are Accepted". We have thousands of subscribers which normally means having to edit thousands of web pages to add this information. Conventional methods would require someone going into each web page and editing them to add this information. But with our method, we simply modify our BBProfiler engine to show "credit cards accepted" and instantly thousands of subscribers on our site now contain this information. |
