We are using price comparison service where we put our products (flights, cars,hotelrooms) online. Those comparison engines used CPC. Experience showed that as longer the people are looking in advance as less is the look to book. The comparison engines are of course only interested in the clicks why we are interested in the "book" part.
We now wanted to let the search string of those engines pass through a proxy filter who via a admin section can filter out:
1. dates if they are to fare ahead no result will be produced.
2. Cities. We want to blacklist Cities where no result should be shown
3. Airlines. We want to blacklist airlines where no result should be shown.....An a few things more.

We have tested this already some year ago and the look to book increased to our satisfaction.
But we don't want to stop just by only filtering. We would like to use all those requests and results, put them in a database for statistical reasons. As well this database should be cashing the results. If the same search comes up twice within certain time there is no need to forward this to the booking engine, its better and quicker to show the result from before. This puts less stress on our booking engine.

Interested people, just contact me please.
We are also looking for xml php freelance programmers for our many travel related websites and booking engines.
