RentalHomesPlus.com Rolls Out New Site Redesign

I was looking at my stats today for this blog and I noticed a few hits from people searching for RentalHomesPlus Site Change so I decided to take a look. Sure enough the site looked different. I just spoke with one of the people over at RentalHomesPlus and he indicated they just released the new version yesterday.

At least RentalHomesPlus is smart enough to do a major change on a weekend (Rentals.com has done major changes mid-week). The RHP contact told me they are still working out a few little bugs, but it seems to be going well.

Some of the major changes to the site are mapping (MapQuest), photos are larger, SEO changes and some lead reporting.

I just forwarded a lead generation spreadsheet from one of my clients that is also a client on RentalHomesPlus so I was able to compare my stats to RentalHomesPlus - I only took a look at one property so far but my site generated almost 4 times the detailed page views for that ad than RentalHomesPlus did (112 for RHP, 415 for RentVine).

To be fair I have not studied the rest of stats from my clients spreadsheet yet (I have the girls today) - but I was happy to see the mid-priced rental ($1,300 a month) was getting more traffic than RHP.

The person who sent me over the spreadsheet seemed pretty excited about it so I guess I need to get working on one of my own email reports.
