Here are just a few quick tips for owners who list their vacation rentals.  These tips apply to all rental sites not just this one.

• If you list on multiple sites, use unique descriptions and titles.  This is actually very imperative.  I see a lot of owners copying/pasting their descriptions and using them on every vacation rental portal site out there.  This is a bad idea.  Your goal should be to get your individual portal page indexed by the search engines.  Search engines don’t like duplicate content.
• Provide pictures.  When I review the stats of the website, those listings with pictures have far more traffic.  I still see many owners out there who don’t use pictures.
• Provide your cell number if possible.  While the message is sitting on your answering machine, the renter is calling the next owner on his/her list.
• Keep the calendar updated.  This could save you a lot of unwanted calls around dinner time especially from people interested in weeks that you are already booked.
