Exposure on one of Irelands busiest tourism web sites to help the beleaguered pub industry.

Cork May 31, 2004

A Guest Of Ireland, in partnership with the RatePubs Network, today offers Irelands pubs a chance to reach a large targeted audience for free. With this announcement pubs throughout the country can reach a targetted audience who are looking for things to do and places to visit during their stay in Ireland.

'The Irish pub is one of the memorable experiences of any tourists visit to Ireland. We are delighted to help them find the pub that suits them and at the same time provide the pub industry with a way to help overcome the setbacks they have recently encountered', said A Guest Of Ireland Chief Executive Brian O'Connell.

Every pub in the country is eligible to enter a brief description of their premises. These can be seen by visitors to www.aguest-of-ireland.com who can also read reviews of the premises and leave their own.

'The feedback provided by the reviews and ratings is one of the key elements in helping visitors to decide upon a pub to visit,' continued Brian O'Connell. 'Not all visitors want the same pub experience and this system of reviews by ordinary visitors will help people find the pub that suits them. It also provides a feedback to individual pubs of where they are going right…or wrong.'

Pubs who sign up will not only be seen on www.aguest-of-ireland.com but also www.ratepubs.com and a growing network of local and international web sites in the RatePubs Network.

Pubs throughout the country can also choose to include 6 pictures and 1800 word descriptions if they so wish. This Premium Membership is available for only €9.24 per week and represents one of the best value advertising methods around since it not only allows them to enter and change menu and entertainment details but also to format them from their browser to include different font colours and highlighting.

A unique feature of Premium membership is the ability for pubs to update their own web sites at the same time as they update their details on the network. Using EasyManage Technology it is thus possible for a pub to update their menu on a daily basis and keep not only their listing on A Guest Of Ireland current but also their own web site. All without editing a single line of code or uploading any files.

'We are delighted to be the first web site in Ireland to incorporate the RatePubs Network. We think it will bring great benefits not only to our visitors but also the pubs which take advantage of this fantastic opportunity to advertise on one of Ireland busiest tourism sites. For Free.' said Brian O'Connell.
