    Hotel comparators and why not to do them

    As many know for over a year now we have been building a travel comparator, well after watching threads appear around the web from people trying to build them I thought I woudl write an overview. So here it is:

    nice work and so true, price comparison in a market with fluctuating prices is tricky.

    I feel your pain.

    That can't be the real Yell... they're showing the old fingers logo, the design is awful, the font for the Yell logo is wrong,there are no corporate links and Yell.com doesn't seem to link to it from first glance.
    Someone should let Yell know that someone is trying to use their name or that the website is so bad it's making people like me think someone is trying to use their name!
