Get off my links: Danish publishers make travel trade look like Seth Godin
November 24, 2008
Apparently the Danish Association of Newspaper Publishers has taken issue with deep linking, insisting instead that bloggers and news aggregators link to homepages.
They're also - are you sitting down? - concerned that Google News wants to list content without paying royalties.
And there we were worrying that the UK travel industry is only now groping its way towards social media (as per bits of the PR discussion at Darren's Travel BlogCamp, mentioned in reviews by Kev at Travolution, Caitlin at Roaming Tales and others).
Seeing a market fail to understand the benefits and mechanism of search some 10 years after Google got going kind of puts it in perspective, no?
