cool! great to see all up and running Arran ! :idea:

we desperately need either existing affiliate companies or new startups to come to the table as there is an urgent need for affiliates for travel made for mobile. stuff for .mobi and non .mobi, but stuff that works for mobile users! flight search boxes, designed for mobiles and ones that easily resolve, hotel search boxes that fit the same criteria too etc.
those that you can find simply aren't up to speed for mobile users, they need to be thought out differently, and what most mobile users of the internet can actually do with their devices.

this is a HUGE area and imo will be one of the biggest areas. waiting on you guys. whoever comes first with a good service will get a lot of the developing domainer market, i tell you!

High Pred,

I'm currently working on using booking.com as my mobile affiliate. I use their XML interface for accomplishing that.
One 'small' problem. Even with the xml interface it's impossible to create a 'mobile' checkout so I'm working on an email workaround. People check availability and book their hotel on their mobile. They only need to book and give their email address. I save that in my database. The checkout will take place on an pc page which they can enter by clicking on a link I send them by email..

I know it's not 100% mobile, but hey..you need to start somewhere.

Martin

Hi Martin,

Welcome to the forum! What you're doing sounds really interesting... if you plan to sell the scripts when you're done I'm sure people on here will be interested... I know of several guys including Pred that have great travel/holiday/hotel-related names... as long as the price is right ofcourse!

Cheers

Arran
