July 1, 2009 · 28 comments

There are many ways to make money online by using your computer, such as building niche blog and make money with Adsense, selling products, affiliate program and etc. When it comes to affiliate program, there are a lot of affiliate program networks in the internet industry as well. All of them target different niche blogs, such as MMO niche blog, food blog, travel blog, hotel blog, product review blog, internet marketing blog, seo blog, etc. As you know, this is a Make Money Online niche blog, I could serve any affiliate program network that has the relevant niche, thus I can make more money from affiliate program.

Recently I found another affiliate program network that is targeting travel blogs as their partner, it’s Hotels Combined. In fact, Hotels Combined is a unique search engine that travelers can take the advantage of finding hotel availability and rates, it also compares prices and offers from multiple hotels. Besides of these, Hotels Combined has built the world’s leading hotel price comparison featuring over 200,000 hotels in 20,000 destinations across 195 countries. With that said, if you have a travel niche blog, you can take full advantage of their features and help your readers to get the best hotel deal.

Hotels Combined helps you to target potential customers from all around the world as their system is translated in 12 languages and 118 currencies. Hotels Combined Affiliate Program is definitely built for travel blog to make money online and benefit their readers. The commission rate for every lead is 70%, plus 12 month cookie ensures that you get paid for every lead from your repeat visitors. Addition, you also get paid 70% of the ad revenue everytime someone clicks an ad on their site.

Hotels Combined has a very good features which is the 24/7 statistics and professional technical and business support, for sure you can keep track your ad placement performance and optimize it to receive more leads. There are plenty of options for you to promote it in your blog, they have standard and advanced implementation methods including general and deep text links, static and animated banners, interactive search boxes, private branding (white label), XML data feeds, CSV data feeds and a XML search API. I personally like the interactive search boxes because it looks more friendly and I believe that people might prefer search with search boxes instead of clicking the banner ads.

Hotels Combined Search Engine

Hotels Combined Affiliate Program Network pays via three methods which is international bank transfer, international cheque or Paypal. Thus you don’t have to worry about the payment issue. If you work well with this hotel affiliate program, be sure you’ll get paid on time every month.

My Thought

Make money online with affiliate program networks can be overwhelming, you might need to have some marketing strategies and you could make more money. I like Hotels Combined because of their statistics and the plenty of promotion methods. Again, Hotels Combined is working well for travel blogs, hotel review blogs and other niche blog that has relevant niche. If you have a travel blog, I do recommend you to sign up Hotels Combined Affiliate Program and make the maximum profit!

Great informative review – Thanks. I just Joined Hotels for my basic hotel review/tips blog, and already have a few leads. Certainly a well targeted, user friendly, and comprehensive program. But I’m trying out placement, and different ad types, to assess which ones yield the better conversions.

This looks like a great income stream and it’s a neat system they developed. Some of the motels I looked for in Vegas (where I live) I’ve never heard of before. There are so many tucked away good (and bad) places to stay.

Thanks for the info., this is a good source.

Great advice, one thing I would like to point our is the opportunity there is for selling leads to offline business. It can get hard dealing with business owners that dont have the skills to convert leads but its a solid business to be in with stablished companies.

It’s funny because I was just looking into affiliates with flight and hotels.

I want to start traveling more – been reading a lot of travel blogs. Hotels and flights would go perfect especially when you talk about where you’re staying; it’ll plant in people’s mind so when they do book, they’ll say “what was that hotel again?” read your blog and hopefully order through your affiliate link :)

It’s been a year since you posted this, I was wondering if you have seen much success with the Hotels combined program.
I’ve taken a look at it before but was quite happy with the program I am with currently. I wonder what the conversion rate is for clickthroughs to the site?

I might take another look and test it out on one of my sites and see how it goes.
But please share your opinions after a year of using them. Are they reliable with payments and honest with cookie tracking in your experience?

@Aaron,
Thanks for your reply here Aaron. Between, it didn’t convert well, I believe that it’s because of the niche of this blog, this blog is writing about blogging tips, so hotel program related ads wouldn’t convert well. Perhaps you can try it out if you have a website that writes about hotel review. Keep me updated your progress. :)

Aaron July 13, 2010 at 12:06 pm

Thank you for the reply.
Yes I could see how unless you have a travel related blog then it might not convert well.
I have a number of sites that are focused on Thailand and Thai hotels and resorts so it may work better for me. At the moment I’m using Agoda, but I suppose I really should do some testing.

I’ll let you know how it goes.

Hi Lee,

Is it correct that you can earn per click with this program?

Lee Ka Hoong July 20, 2010 at 2:34 pm

@Dillinger,
No, I didn’t earn well with this program since I don’t have a hotel related blog. Also, this is not a pay per click program, you need to make sale in order to earn the commission.
