A good old fashioned web site which ranks high for a resort town which has a lot of tourists who don't know where to eat so they search in the Google. My next venture is a run on sentence shortening service.

do you make money from the restaurants advertising directly or adsense etc?

Direct only. Our competition is tripadvisor, it a david and goliath situation, even though we specialize in just one area for one thing. My friend owns a similar site in a much larger demographic and makes a lot more, but be advised.. this works mainly because of salesmanship and ranking well, the per month hours are now very minimal (5-10).

So, do you call the hotels/restaurants and try to sell banners/ads?

I would love to see your website and how the information you provide for this particular resort compares to what Trip Advisor offers. Any chance to share the url?

FYI, it was a joke; the first sentence in the post was excessively long.
