Back to the original question - we've registered with holidayrentals.org - as far as I can tell, they're a sister company to self-catering-breaks.co.uk - which, although it's lower down the search rankings recently, was the site that got us our 1st ever guest - so they're good in my books
I'm also on self-catering-breaks, but I've never gotten a booking or even an inquiry from them... but then, different listing sites are better for different regions. I've never used holidayrentals.org, but then again they do not seem very focused on France.
I believe self-catering-breaks.com are owned by lastminute.com h-r.com linked with lastminute.com but it didn't work out...I've had 2 enquires from self catering which didn't come to anything.
I think if it is the case of last minute philosophy it doesn't work for self catering breaks...maybe that is where it is going wrong?
There's something at the back of my mind telling me that I am correct - but yes h-r.com did do a trial with lastminute.com - it lasted about 3 months but it was the nature of the business I think not compatible unless you have last minute availability - and house rentals aren't quite like empty airplanes!
I'll ask the FD of lastminute when I see him shortly!
I haven't had a sniff from self-catering-breaks either, but having gone through the process of publishing an ad on the site, I wasn't really expecting too much - a bit mystifying it was.
I have had 5 enquiries from self-catering breaks over the last two years which resulted in two very good bookings, though having said that it's been a while now since I have received anything! Is it quiet at the mo for Spain or is it me??
