We are keen to help promote walker-friendly Irish accommodation on The Ireland Walking Guide website. If you are an accommodation provider who welcomes and caters for the needs of recreational walkers, please get in touch via our Accommodation Link Exchange Form to set up a link exchange with us.
Reasons to add your accommodation to our website
Getting listed on a walking information website is a great way to attract recreational walkers who have chosen to explore your local area. Keep reading to find out why you should set up a link exchange with The Ireland Walking Guide website:
- We offer free accommodation listings on our website via a link exchange option (other options are available).
- Your accommodation will appear as an image in a slideshow on the relevant county page on The Ireland Walking Guide website. Your property's image will contain a single-click link directly to your website. We will earn nothing from bookings made using this link. As we add more walk-related content to the website in the future, additional opportunities for image placement will arise. This will require no further action from you.
- Your accommodation will also appear as an image in a slideshow on the relevant county page on The Ireland Travel Guide website. As we add more content to our websites in the future, additional opportunities for image placement will arise. This will require no further action from you.
- Once set up, your accommodation will be listed permanently without having to renew, resubscribe or pay annual fees (unless you choose the paid annual contract option). We check all of our outgoing links a couple of times each year to ensure that they are still working and up-to-date. During these checks, we also test links coming back to us from our link exchange partners' websites. If these are not working or have been removed, we will contact the partner to alert them by email. Please note: if an incoming link is not repaired or re-added within one month of an alert issued by us, this will be interpreted as a withdrawal from the link exchange arrangement by the respective partner, in which case we will also remove the associated outgoing links from our websites.
- In the past, we received hundreds of queries each year from people asking us to recommend places to stay. Since adding our accommodation listings, the volume of queries has dropped significantly as people now use the content we provide. By adding your accommodation as a featured listing on our website, you will stand out from the crowd. Please note that we may have to limit the number of listings we can host on our website, so we recommend getting in as early as possible.
- We are more likely to interact with accommodation providers on social media if they are listed on our website and include @irelandwalking in their Irish walk-related posts. We receive a notification each time we get mentioned on social media. We read every post we're mentioned in and will like / share / comment accordingly. You can find us on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.
- Accommodation providers who are listed on The Ireland Walking Guide website are permitted to add their recurring open-invitation walking events to our search-engine-friendly Irish Walking Events listings. Our walking events pages are among the top results in all related search engine queries.
