    Not so sure about this bit ;)
    Northern Ireland was the scene of gruesome battles between the Catholic and Protestant communities

  • It's pretty terrible, i can see that it's aimed at Yanks and you're trying to make a few quid off the Amazon affiliate links, other than that, meh?

    My thoughts too. Does it really need mentioning in a "things to do" guide. Plus titled Northern Ireland but seems about Belfast?

    Can you really call the Titanic Quarter best tourist attraction in Northern Ireland with the Giant's Causeway's natural clout?

    Well done though for taking the time to put together something like this for our wee place. :T
  • thanks for the feedback folks

    You should also be aware that spamming every single thread on the TripAdvisor Northern Ireland forums with your article is a huge no-no. Idiot.

    P.S. The tiniest bit of research would also have told you it's "R.M.S. Titanic"...
  • Alright fella no need for the idiot comment, we all started some where and I'm only beginning, I'm sure your wealth of knowledge didn't appear overnight. Apologies for the R.M.S mistake, we all make them sometimes. Thanks for the feedback thou.

    So I assume you're now going to delete all your posts from the TripAdvisor threads, since of course you weren't only doing this to benefit from the Amazon affiliate links?
  • Well actually it wasn't just for the Amazon links, don't get me wrong I am trying to make a few quid, but who isn't, is that not why we all came to this place to make/save a few nuggets?? But it was also about promoting our wee country, trying stir up a bit of interest, get the tourists over spend a few quid, improve the economy and generally give people an idea of what Northern Ireland Has to offer. I have taken on board not to spam trip advisor as much and I wont. All I can advise is that if the links bother you that much simply skip over them. Apologies for any inconvenience caused.

    As much? You shouldn't be spamming it at all.

    Plus, you should also ensure that your grammar and spelling are checked before posting an article; there are so many errors in it, it gives a really bad impression.
