It's a fact of life now that there are hundreds of companies trying to sell you internet advertising space. What's worse is that most of them are just trying to make money on actually designing the web page for a few hundred dollars and then leave you cold, placing your web page on some non-B&B related web project.

We aren't interested in that type of business. We are here for the long run. Here are just a few good reasons to subscribe with us:

Our web project has on average about 72,000 people a day visiting and using our site. We don't count "hits" (which is a meaningless term). We count individuals; people like you from all over the world using our server to find Canadian Bed and Breakfasts. We publish our numbers for anyone to review.

We have testimonials from across Canada from B&B owners who are online with us. They get bookings. It's just that simple.

We aggressively market this web site on the internet in over 1700 different search engines and travel sites, as well as in print (eg: Canoe, The Globe and Mail, Sympatico Magazine, Chatelaine, Costco, AEROMiles, Travelalerts.ca, local newsletters, etc.), on the radio (eg: CBC morning radio), internet radio and by word of mouth.

'bbdug' stands for Bed and Breakfast Data Update Gadget, our technology that allows our subscribers to easily update their listing anytime they want.

It is available to Bed and Breakfast owners who have internet access. The update process is completely automated and immediate. It is secure and encrypted.

This web project was started in August 1994. Back in 1994, you could go to any internet search engine and look for B&Bs and only have 6 results come up. Today, large search engines index tens of thousands of B&B related pages. We started very early and are recognized by many as *the* standard for Canadian Bed and Breakfast listings on the web.

Since we started, many other Canadian Bed and Breakfast web projects have appeared, but none have the power and simplicity of BBCanada.com. We have designed this site so that anyone can use it: from the latest versions of Netscape/MS Internet Explorer, to the oldest text browsers such as Lynx and Mosaic: They all work on our web site. You will NEVER see (example): "This site optimized for MSIE 800x600" on our site. We won't alienate your potential next client. It's a hard fact that many people browsing this project from overseas do NOT have the latest internet technology at their disposal; some are a few years behind in technology. No problem: every browser will work on our website.

We charge $99.00 + GST / Year for a *complete* listing and now offer FEATURED LISTINGS that display at the top of your desired city for an additional $149.00 + GST /Year. Many others charge up to 10 times that amount without having nearly the audience that we attract. We *ONLY* list Canadian Bed and Breakfasts. Our format is simple, powerful and internationally recognizable since we use graphics to represent data.

We have developed a proprietary database technology which allows us to offer an inexpensive listing.

Our database technology generates the content of the web project dynamically, as well as generating renewal letters, reports and other statistics about this web project. It is all self contained within one program. Many of our competitors create your web page by hand, tediously, without any method of tracking the data that goes into those pages. You'd like your description changed? No problem, we edit your record in our database and it goes online immediately, or you can edit your page with us using 'bbdug' technology.

Our database can tell us, for example, who is up for renewal in August, who has not renewed yet in July, how many people subscribed in the first quarter of 2005 allowing us to forecast our advertising budget for the next quarter, print reminder letters to overdue subscribers, generate your web page etc.

How does all of this technology affect you? All of these state of the art techniques allow us to cut overhead and keep the price low. It only requires 5 people to manage this web project since we have developed such a powerful database tool for tracking/adding Bed and Breakfasts.

A good demonstration of this technology is upgrading your web page: For example, we recently added more information to the web pages, "Which Credit Cards Are Accepted". We have over 11,269 subscribers which normally means having to edit 11,269 web pages to add this information. Conventional methods would require someone going into each web page and editing them to add this information. But with our method, we simply modify our 'bbdug' engine to show "credit cards accepted" and instantly 11,269 subscribers on our site now contain this information.

Great! But will anyone ever find you? When someone in Germany wants to find a Bed and Breakfast in Canada, they don't want to haphazardly look through random pages scattered across the Internet. They would want to find a standard Bed and Breakfast resource with hundreds of searchable listings shown in a commonly understood format. This is precisely what we provide.

A common analogy would be this: Say you had a nice poster advertisement developed. Anyone can develop the poster ad, but it's totally useless if you take that ad and post it on a sign post in your backyard. You would want that poster to be plastered in every major travel shop available. We offer you the poster (web page) and we offer to put it on our billboard (our web project).

As part of our subscription, we allow you an outside link to your other web page at no extra cost. We would hate for those other web pages to go unnoticed since you paid good money to have them developed.

Our internet web project has been very successful. Our future goals include affiliations with large Canadian internet content providers and perhaps a print book for people to carry around. We strive to develop partnerships with leading companies and service providers that will bring traffic to our site and as a result bring you the B&B operator more reservations. We continually are seeking out new opportunities to promote your Bed and Breakfast.

We are working hard to promote your Bed and Breakfast.

Many companies have tried to copy our format and technology. They promise more pictures, more information and more features but neglect to mention the fact that the only thing that matters to your advertising dollar is website traffic. As of January 2008, BBCanada.com was ranked #1 in inbound Canadian Tourism - lodging (ahead of all provincial tourism sites and private tourism websites including all competitors to BBCanada) by Alexa.com; a company run by Amazon.com which monitors 'who goes where' on the internet.

Don't be fooled by copy-cat companies who use confusingly similar domain names to ours or who promise the world with introductory rates. BBCanada.com has been in business since 1994 and has had over 11,269 subscribers since inception.
