Oriens' New Plug-In to Advance Global Acceptance of Online Booking Engine

LAS VEGAS, NV--(Marketwire - Mar 5, 2013) - Oriens Travel & Hotel Management Corp. ( PINKSHEETS : OTHM ), the Next Generation International Hotel Brand Operator, operating its Hotel PURE brand, announced today that the company will further enhance acceptance of its Online Booking System by developing a plug-in allowing its FROL System (Friendly Reservations Online)to run over sites using CMS (Content Management System); such as Word Press, which is based on PHP and MySQL.

"With over 50 properties under management, we can clearly see the power of our reservation system," stated Ken Chua, President of Oriens. "Our FROL system however, is intended to be used by any hotelier seeking an economical yet powerful and proven alternative to current search engines."

Back in 2011, the Extranet, or 'Backend' of the FROL system received a complete facelift leaving the latest version of Orien's booking engine with a similar look and feel to Expedia.com, Travelocity.com and Orbitz.com.This redesign helped to greatly reduce the hotelier's learning curve.However, management is now focused on further strengthening its competitive advantage while significantly increasing its FROL's acceptance amongst hoteliers by making the system simple to integrate into those more popular website platforms.

Chua continued, "The numbers are simple.Word Press for example, is used by nearly 15% of the 'top 1 million' websites ranked by Alexa.It is also the 'go to' platform for at least one-fifth of all new sites under development and has been downloaded more than 50 million times.The 'Word Press' community alone is massive and it is not the only widely used CMS platform."

People close to the company anticipate that Oriens' new plug-in will greatly simplify the hotel booking process.Perhaps to such an extent where upstart hoteliers will seek Oriens' FROL plug-ins as a matter of common practice when developing a new hotel property, transitioning a home into a Bed & Breakfast or simply revamping an old property with new and effective technology.

Ken Chua concluded, "Developing hospitality plug-ins for CMS platforms, based on our search engine technology, should significantly broaden our reach without the over weighted cost of advertising, marketing and promotion. This application should add considerable value to our bottom line."

Word that passengers can bring small knives on jets seems "random" to some

An announcement that people will again be allowed to carry small pocketknives and other items aboard passenger planes that were banned after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks drew mixed reactions from fliers, airlines and labor.

The head of the U.S. Transportation Security Administration Administrator on Tuesday said the agency will next month begin permitting knives with retractable blades shorter than 2.36 inches and narrower than 1/2 inch, as well as golf clubs, hockey sticks and certain types of baseball bats.

An industry group representing the nation's major airlines praised the change, but a union representing flight attendants said the change raises safety concerns.

"We believe this is excellent news," said Perry Flint, spokesman for the International Air Transport Association, in an e-mail. "The TSA decision will bring the U.S. into alignment with global standards on the carriage of these items."

Fliers questioned why the change didn't include more items that seem less dangerous than a small knife.

"To a passenger it seems random," frequent flier Laura La Gassa told the Houston Chronicle via Twitter. "I want to be able to keep my shoes on and carry a full-sized bottle of sunscreen."

Houston resident Andrew J. Ferraro, a former spokesman for United Airlines, said via Twitter that "OK'ing the knives kind of surprises me." As for the other items, Ferraro said he believes "it's about time."

How content marketing is delivered can be as important as what the information is.

At the same time, its important to create content that reaches as many people as possible, say the experts. The point of content marketing is to market the brand, build brand awareness, and create buzz. According to the experts top tips, creating content that is too niche-oriented can limit an audience.

The Internet has created an equal playing field; as a result, small- and medium-sized businesses in any industry can compete with much larger companiesregardless of their marketing budgets. At the same time, marketing goals and strategies need to be identified from the start.

Internet Marketing Expert Deals a Blow to 'the World of SEO' by Announcing the Release of an SEO White Paper, 'SEO is …

The SEO white paper by Think Cloud Studio claims the practice of SEO is manufactured to serve only businesses practicing SEO services.

London, UK (PRWEB) March 01, 2013

Some of the main points centered on by the author are that the SEO industry is little more than CPC / PPC and internet marketing. It is recognised that Organic search results are not by chance, but they are not the result of any practice that is called SEO, because no one within the SEO industry can truly define what SEO is. How can anyone optimise a search engine that isn't directly associated to a 'Search Engine'?

The paper goes on to cover other areas such as search results. The most important aspect of a search engine is search results; it is suggested that only people who control 'a search engine' can optimise the display of results. So, how on earth can anyone claim to optimise search engine results they

a) have no control over and

b) do not know entirely how it works.

The author states, "SEO is at best, 'guess work', and this is not good enough for an industry that has no governing body over-seeing best practices, especially whilst offering businesses a false hope of growth through search results."

The white paper asks for a redefining of SEO best practice within the search industry. "The crux of the issue is: SEO is defined incorrectly. Websites can be optimised for content containing keywords but this by itself is not optimizing a search engine! If an industry has a set of practices that are ill defined, how on earth can the business community take it seriously."

Broadly, the paper outlines how Internet marketing covers most of the activities that enable website owners with the opportunity to climb to the top of search engines.

The White Paper will be published on 17th March 2013 Draft copies can be obtained by emailing andrew(at)amcoms(dot)co(dot)uk or visiting Think Cloud Studio
