My guess would be that they have so much SEO juice, that losing some traffic to Medium for their blog doesn't matter. Their core audience is probably immersed by the time they read their content, and in addition to their strong reputation/WoM where they host their blog is a non issue. Maybe they also believe a lot of savvy people searching SEO content arent googling and picking up the same blogspam that exists when you search these types of topics.
Question non snarky question: Why do some people opt to host their videos in vimeo instead of youtube? Are there benefits or is it the cool contrarian thing to do atm?
Great article. I hope to use it to do something similar soon :)
Vimeo publishers with paid subscriptions have a greater degree of control over the appearance of the video player. In particular, they can remove the Vimeo branding or replace it with their own branding. On the other hand, YouTube always displays its own logo on its video player.
Why does it cost so much to connect to their backends? Aren't there platforms which they load their inventory on like Cloudbeds etc? I assume most of those would be modern enough to have web services to integrate with?
Interesting. Which GDS are you integrating with in the background or are you using something like Skyscanner? How do you guarantee you are giving users the best price?
