Tansy,On others saying vrbo.com I've just paid out $500 and so far in 5 weeks 1 enquiry for height of summer which is booked anyway!
How did you spend so much? They only cost about $150 per ad don't they?
Two things I would say about this...
- give it a while, this is not necessarily when people are sorting out their holidays.
- vrbo is primarily good for non-UK English speakers, especially North Americans. If your location is not on the tourist trail for Americans, you face an uphill task with vrbo.
vrbo is much the biggest rental listing site. It has 30,000 properties and more traffic than any other site. That is not necessarily great if you are in a very popular area like Orlando because you will be up against so many others. But for European properties there is less competition on vrbo. And you still take advantage of:
1. vrbo's high search engine rankings;
2. the fact that vrbo is well known as a name means that you are not solely relying on search engines delivering traffic. People will go straight to vrbo when they are looking for holiday accommodation, and see what's there for the location they want.
