Arrow Introducing Resort Reviews

We're ready to start reviewing resorts. If you have a resort for sale or rent, or just want to share some information about your travel experience, feel free to post a review at http://www.timeshare-gateway.com/reviewpost. With over 4000 resorts to choose from, you're bound to find the resort of your choice. No need to upload anything, just share your thoughts.
Some things to consider:
1. Once accepted, your review will be featured on our classified ads website at http://www.timesharegateway.com under the same resort the review is written.
2. To qualify, the review must be complete, i.e. Pros, Cons, and Review sections must be complete.
3. Make sure you use "Post a Review". Quick Reply will not qualify as it does not have "Pros" and "Cons" to choose from.
We look forward to reading your reviews.
-GateKeeper

Just added a review!

Wow, that was really simple! On some sites, there are a lot of required fields where I might not have used the amenity in question, but the flexible pros and cons plus free text makes so much sense.

"I love it when a plan comes together"

Thank you George Peppard for that wonderful line! Thank you wanderer for that outstanding review. The feed to the classified page got updated slightly to accommodate larger reviews, but the end result is still very positive. You can see the result of the feed at http://www.timesharegateway.com/time...a-Surfside.php. Anyone interested in having their review added to their ad page can simply do the same thing that Wanderer did. It takes just a few minutes, but will significantly enhance this website. We're looking forward to seeing more on board. Welcome everyone!

If you want to see a review in action, check out Presidential Villas at Plantation Resort, and the classifieds ad page for the same resort at http://www.timesharegateway.com/time...ion-Resort.php. The content of this review now displays on the classifieds page to augment the existing description and add unique content to the page. Readers and search engines alike appreciate the uniqueness of this content and it will help to boost the page in search engine rankings, allow viewers to get a better sense for the resort and what it has to offer, and overall bring value to the process in which we are all engaged. Thank you "unregistered" for the wonderful review.

One more important point about using the "Add To My Yahoo!" feature. Upon adding a feed to your My Yahoo! page, Yahoo will automatically include this feed in their feed directory. This puts your resort in front of thousands of other users that are adding feeds from the Yahoo Directory. By putting your classified ad page on your My Yahoo! page, you instantly boost your resorts visibility to other users on the Internet. This is a simple, free, and powerful tool that you can use to help further your interest in promoting your resort and your ads. Just look for the "My Yahoo!" icon on the appropriate page and follow the prompts.

I used the new review post feature once I got there. How about a bigger text "post a review" caption for us boomers?
Found it to be way easier than other sites where I've posted since the resort info from the directory is all there. Good feature, and the price is right.

Just a reminder for those interested in posting a review. Please make sure to complete the Pros, Cons, and Review sections. Only reviews that have these fields completed will be included in our RSS feeds. If there are no Pros or Cons, simply put "None".
