Olympics Accommodation Site Blog

We're delighted to announce the launch of our new sister site Rentals for the Games! To celebrate we're offering free advertising to all existing members, and anyone who joins before Wednesday 1st August. Join us in our celebration by taking advantage of this great opportunity to advertise for free. Going forward, our new site will be 100% premium, and hence there will be no free ads available to users who join later on.

We're proud to announce that we've just launched the Olympics Accommodation Directory. As the name indicates, it's a niche web directory for all quality sites, useful to anyone either looking for accommodation during the games, or wishing to advertise their property for rent.

We invite everyone, including competitors to list their sites and resources. So whether your site is a competing Olympics accommodation site, estate agency, hotel, camping or other resource relevant to accommodation for the Olympics, you're welcome to add yourself for free.

We're only a month or so from the start of the London 2012 Olympics, so we're doing everything we can to make sure the Olympics Accommodation Site is ready as can be! So we have done a bit of cleaning up, fixing outstanding bugs, and implemented some performance tuning to further enhance the user experience.

As part of our constant efforts to improve the Olympics Accommodation Site, today we're introducing our Olympics accommodation news section. Now it's even easier to stay on top of the latest developments on the Olympics accommodation front.

Competition is increasing among Olympics accommodation sites, and some competitors have taken to questionable methods in an attempt to gain advantage over others.

Today our system flagged a number of inquiry emails sent by the owner of www.2012-accommodation.co.uk in an attempt to attract our users to his website.

We hope to discourage any such behaviour in future, which is why we are publishing the email here.

We've introduced important changes to the way we moderate Olympics accommodation ads, which may affect you. If you've posted any accommodation ads, please read on, and if neccessary review your ads.

We want the Olympics Accommodation Site to be as useful to visitors as possible. To better achieve our aim we want to encourage advertisesr to submit good-quality ads, that provide all the details expected. We're therefore going to start discriminating against incomplete ads by placing them at the bottom of lists and search results.
