This didn’t come across very well but you can go to Alexa.com and take a look.

Dave you should post a weekly Alexa/Quantcast for yourself and your competition .

Rentals.com ad copy:

At Rentals.com, we understand the marketing challenges today’s rental property owners and managers are facing. That’s why we’ve applied over 31 years of experience and extensive research toward developing the world’s most comprehensive real estate rental site, with nearly 45,000 listings making up not only the largest but also the most diverse inventory of rental properties in one place.

Then they redirect you to Rentclicks and if you do not chose to be on the family of sites and pay $79.00 a listing you are not even on Rentals.com!

You would think that Rentclicks listings would be increasing from the feeds from another site….not decreasing!

It is interesting that apartments are also fed into rentclicks and not their other site”apartmentguide” that is the blacksheep of the family!

Just looked at the Rentals.com site. They still take you to Rentclicks to post a home rental. There is a mistake on their ad copy regrading their”family ” that I saw over a month ago. It is still there.

Rentclicks has been falling badly in the rankings on Alexa for some time now. Their listings have been dropping in their major markets moving into Spring when you would expect them to be going up!

The day that you go to post a home rental on Rentals.com and it does not redirect you to Rentclicks is the day CSI really starts pushing Rentals.com as their flagship site…….and the beginning of the end for Rentclicks and Rentalhouses.

I see rentals.com moving up and rentclicks falling just like you Dave…..But I think rentclicks will still get most of the deverted traffic from rentals.com for home rentals still….All there links on rentals.com point to rentclicks for single family homes…Your right, It will be Interesting to see what happens.

I think it might be fun to watch RentClicks fall from its high position – it also might open a few doors for sites like mine.

I’ll be interestested in seeing where Rentclicks does move in time with the change. I know that their goal was to move Rentals.com up the ladder but I’m sure they don’t want to let their other sites fall.
