An independent award is important to your site since it gives it a valuable stamp of quality that is likely to draw new visitors further in: to see why it won the award. Synergise Travel Awards and the QualityHub entitlement are hard to achieve since all sites are manually assessed against stringent quality criteria. Make no mistake, unlike most award sites, Synergise does not give awards to just any site! Sites must have good content and be presented and executed well in order to win one of our awards. No one can buy them - they can only be earned through quality.

It's really easy to post your award. Check-out the table below to see what award(s) you are entitled to display according to your award level and the permitted locations for your chosen award. (For example, if you were awarded 'Silver' you might choose to display the generic 'Quality Award' on your Home Page and the 'Silver Award' on your Awards Page.) Then just copy the appropriate code to your page(s) and link it to the Synergise Home Page (http://www.synergise.com/). Finally, please let us know it is in place!

You are not permitted to change the Synergise code in any way - except as required to call-up the graphic on your site. If you copy the code on this page then this calls up the graphic within the same local directory.

The 'Quality Award' gives you the option of displaying an award on your Home Page without actually stating the level of the award (which might appeal to those with lower-level awards). However, you must use the appropriate award level icon on your Awards Page.

From 2004, sites with a Bronze award will be listed on our Recommended Sites page. (Prior to this date sites were only included in our travel pages if they related directly to one of the Travel Destination pages.) Sites with a Silver, Gold or Platinum Award will be listed on either the Recommended Sites page or one of the new Travel.QualityHub pages. If you elect to become a QualityHub partner site then your permanent listing on a QualityHub page is assured and you will thereby be sure to benefit from a valuable PowerLink on a HI-PRofile page. This will require you to place and retain the QualityHub icon on your Home Page.

The QualityHub icon can only be displayed on your site with our agreement. Click here for further details.

Please note that you may use these icons either without a border or with BORDER="1". If used, we prefer an orange border (as shown below).
