Expedia vs Travelocity - Which is better?

Discussion in 'Affiliate Programs' started by local-realtor, Aug 7, 2007.

    I have a North American travel site and I am looking at joining an aff program to promote hotels and perhaps packages. On top of basic search widgets I hope to be able to customize deep links to certain hotel pages that the site reviews.

    Do either Expedia or Travelocity offer this and what's your opinion on each?

    Has anybody here ran both that can add to Cylon's response. Also I really need to be able to link to city searches or linking direct by property?

    Cylon... That is the most honest response I have seen on DP in a long time.

    It's hard to choose - but wouldn't it be better if you can be affiliated to both?

    I think expedia put sooo much effort into their engine, conversion optimization and branding that I will likely try them first. However it seems to me that they are a technology company that sells travel as opposed to a travel company that uses technology.
