I agree that their main cash cow, vrbo, needs a complete rehaul. I find it impossible searching among all of their listings. I list on both of these sites but have received just as many inquiries from my listings o FindYourVacationHome.com. All listings are completely free there - a good recession-buster!

Since HA’s acquisition of so many sites one wonders what value it has. In the past a lister took a gamble on which site would bring in more traffic and placed his bet [advert] Now with HA running all the horses in town they are trying to con listers on one HA site to list on another of HA's sites -no discount mind you- One pitch on a HA site claims they have spent millions on keyword research. Just that claim alone should be a tip off that they haven't. I took the keywords on 5 HA controlled sites on pages pertaining to my market and ran them in Google. A lot of the keywords were real junk/generic to start with. The 'good' ones didn't place always that well in the Top 10 on Google - but my little site always came up (I ran the test in reverse and my site, #1 in my market, didn't do all that well on my own keywords - but what the heck their kw's were generating my site and I got a better crack at their potential clients. Plus HA property owners on one site are now getting a lot of spam from HA’s other sites - and one site [maybe all of them as they are increasingly looking and operating the same] is promoting some destinations over others which clearly is a disservice to all other listers -sure in time they'll claim to promote all areas but don't hold your breath. Skimming the comments above and seeing its a VC driven game I hope they fail – they’re trying to force a change in the market and I think their biz plan may be making some false assumptions - I've been in this business 10 years+ and for 20 previous was in travel and air carrier sales - I think I can beat them in this game for not all that much investment - create a superior site that values its property listers rather than exploits and extorts them. Create a site also giving honest and excellent back-up service to the clients passing through the portal *- then HA will have real competition and a choice - I've been po'd about this for about a year and thanks to this article and forum I think I’ve picked up the buzz for my next project - interested investors can e-mail me. HA is headed into wobbly ground with the worldwide economic downturn. My enquiries on my own proprietary site are down 30% year-over-year [but actual business isn't] for the last three months as I'm sure everyone else’s are. HA isn't doing jack to help its prop-listers - it keeps raising prices and is now looking to take a cut by offering to establish a booking agent service [thanks - I have done quite well on my own without having 10-15% or more peeled of the top - listings should be free if they want to do that - that's how I ran another successful site in my niche market before I sold it a year ago] Well I'm rambling I know - but excited as I see an opportunity to topple this goliath WOW now if I can get their 150,000 subscribers at say 35% less than they charge maybe I can get out of my personal recession *I’m guessing that one of HA’s thrusts [based on a recent survey they sent to owners] is to give a TRUST Assurance Guarantee to renters -really there has not been much complaint in this area so what HA is doing is casting a cloud over the property owners who by and large are 100% honest?

This also gives you the opportunity to provide a much better service to your guests and owners/agents. Not so easy to expand, but does it always have to be about international dominance? I would rather be extremely good in a few specific areas than average worldwide.

I recently discovered a vacation rental advertising site that actually addresses some of the management needs that vacation rental owners have. If you don't own a vacation rental than you would not know that the management is very intensive and I used to find myself drowning in paperwork. Rental Space Network- http://rentalspacenetwork.com has solved this problem and I believe they are well positioned to be a big player in this industry because they have done something different than the rest of the advertising sites out there. This site allows owners to create legal lease agreements to be filled out and signed online by their guests using electronic signatures, completely eliminating paperwork and the two weeks it sometimes takes to get a signed agreement back. This site also helps you to manage your Craigslist ads by implementing an autopost feature where you can quickly post your ads from their site. We all know that Craigslist gets the most visits of any vacation rental site, but it is tough to manage your ads and the ads are not that detailed, this site solves both of those problems.
