expedia and IAN

**mistrymit** · 09-10-07

have expedia and IAN got something in comman. because a month or so back i tried to sign up to expedia affilate scheme and they declined me as their reason was that i needed between 5000-10000 hits a month. that was the last i heard.

then suddenly a guy from expedia contacts me and says to sign up to IAN to develop my sites.

are expedia and IAN related?

We've had 7,000 impressions and almost 3,000 clicks yet not one sale in Expedia sale yet.

I've asked CJ about the tracking, sent them the code we're using and not got a reply back.

Thinking of removing them as our others are doing really well.

hallo @realholidayreports,

do you mind give me your website and let me take a look?
do you join expedia.com or hotels.com affiliate? they both are same but different

some love to book hotel at hotels.com and some at expedia.com

I made a lot of sale recently from hotels.com
maybe I can help you. if you don't mind, you can PM me your MSN or YM or anything that we can talk about.

cheers and do not give up,

RHR,

3000 clicks and no sales is not far off our experinece with Expedia. Wowever, we had links to their homepage so expect this is the reason for poor conversion. We are now trying them again with deep links.

Are you homepage or deep linking?

**hallo_du** · 12-05-09

@pintofmilk

my web is not a deep link. a right banner with a good short text and a good web traffic. only that.
if you don't mind, send me your website and I will show you some sell within 1 week.

cheers,

To the holiday offers page. We've never had their hotel deep links.

We could add an Expedia link to every page on our site, currently on about 20% of them, and I still don't believe they'd track.

Funny how TD have not joined in the debate here.

Hi,

Expedia is tracking well on TD for me, not much clicks though but the clickration:Sale is not bad here

**hallo_du** · 13-05-09

@tijan

you are right. expedia is tracing very well on TD. Which TD network are you running on? UK or German?
you haven't sell anything yet. tell me your website and let me have a look if you don't mind.

cheers,
