Photo Policy
We publish only color photographs of your B&B and grounds, not "artists renderings," line drawings, logos or paintings. We are not able to use panoramic photos. Writing or text on the photo is not acceptable. If photos are copyrighted, a separate letter must be sent to the address below granting permission for use. If photos of people are desired you must send us a signed release from EACH person in the photo, granting Bed and Breakfast Inns of North America permission to use the photo in advertising on the Internet without recourse.
Certainly. Please send photographic prints only -- not slides. We do not publish drawings or artistic renderings -- only actual photographs. We cannot use panoramic photos -- just standard 4x6 or 3x5 prints. You will receive the address to which they should be send at the end of the registration process. We will scan them and return the originals to you immediately.How often is Bed and Breakfast Inns of North America updated? What are the charges for updates?

How will people find my listing online?
Our directory is listed in all major search engines and web directories world wide. To help your property appear when a traveler requests a certain key word, we make extensive use of key words and phrases in your listing as well as in your META tags.

For the Bed and Breakfast directories we use Power Mac G5 servers with dual 64-bit G5 processors with a speed of 2.7GHz and ultrahigh-bandwidth system architecture.
