I live in Canada and my apartment is in Hungary. Luckily my parents live right next door but hey would not be able to handle the cleaning and things. They are there to Welcome the guests and provide them with a key or if there are any concerns. I have a local university student who speaks English al...

I guess it is very different when you are renting in a city. I have no bookings yet for 2006. There are some holds although... I started renting in mid August and I am booked until the end of October, then some time in November and for New Years. I will raise my prices in 2006 but now I have ADSL in...

Thank you Paulo for your quick reply. I understand what you are saying now. Well, this means that since I showed interest in that site there was only one enquire for Budapest. That is not so promising. I think I will hold off signing up there. So far I am very happy with the sites I am committed to....

Rentalo... Anyone with similar experience?
I received an e-mail from rentalo.com where I signed up but I guess I never really activated my service (or did I?). I certainly had an accoun there but I never paid for them and I assume I maybe had a trial account but I am not sure. Anyhow, the e-mail came saying: "Great news! We have just re...

Hi Renata: left to righ scrolling is something that turns people away very fast. You sould set a maximum for the width of the site. You can't expect people to scroll left to right with each line. You do not need the letter sizes to be so huge and tha would help to win some width back. If you go for ...

Hi Paulo: I very much agree with you on using the method of entering key word into serch engines. I have no doubt about that. I am only saying that it should not be the final and clear indicator of site placement. With all honesty as you may see I only charged 280 EUR for a week (small apartment) to...

Paulo: I appreciate your reply. If you are not getting as many enquiries from your vrbo ad, the most obvious reason to me would be that your target market is more British than American. An American would never search for ‘self catering’, but would search for ‘vacation rentals’, thereby findi...

I agree with Yorks, the site looks a little plain. here are some suggestions: Change your link colors (even the visited links) to any other color than blue. Put the picture in a frame if you do not wish to change the background color or even if you change it some light smokey brown. tr to pick the c...

Hi: Maybe it is a bit to late to put my two cents worth in here, but please, allow me anyway. I only started to advertise in August on Homelidays (that turned into a very same day booking on the day I registered), and on VRBO. From VRBO I received 3 inquiries that did not turned into bookings (but 2...
