12 questions about TripAdvisor TripConnect you were too embarrassed to ask - Tnooz

TripAdvisor, the giant review site, has launched an advertising bidding tool called TripConnect.

Owners of small properties will be able to drive TripAdvisor users to their own booking engines, sidestepping middlemen like online travel agents (OTAs) and Google Search.

Think of this as “the missing manual” for TripConnect.
