How to Get the Best Travel Deals
• Book early. People who wait until the last minute almost always pay higher prices.
• Use the Internet. Websites such as travelocity can help you save hundreds of dollars on air travel and hotels.
• Try a vacation rental rather than a hotel.• Look for travel package deals to help cut down the overall cost of
both airfare and hotels combined. This guest post was provided by Sarah Smith an avid traveler who also blogs for www.Travelocity.com.

Five Judgments of Link Quality
“Would you have invested time to get this link if Google and Bing did not exist?”
“Would you proudly show this to a prospective customer pre-sale?”
“Would you show it to your children?”
“Did the person giving you the link mean it as a genuine endorsement?”
“If you have to argue it that it’s a good link, It’s NOT.”
