Today my Inn was solicited by Bedhunt.com to put in a free Bronze Level Listing. In my experience every link back to your own Inn site helps just a tiny bit with your search engine rankings. In this case Bedhunt.com is a basic simple directory. It does not offer anything fancy, and is free to Innkeepers as the owner is running Google ads and the like to generate revenue (much the same as what I do with Innkeepers Journal).

If only one person books and stays with us thanks to our listing on this site, it would be a positive outcome for five minutes we spent adding our Inn to the site.

Here is what Bedhunt says they offer for free with their Bronze Listing;
