If you look on the home page of the NARPM site you will see that the image link on the top right has been changed from Rentals.com to RentalHomePros.com.
So I wonder if NARPM is losing money because Rentals.com is not paying them for that home page link now?
I can only assume that RentalHomePros does not have to pay for that link. Will we see an increase in NARPM dues?
Update: Now it has switched back, do you think Rentals.com got upset and asked them to switch it back?

Wouldnt this be considered a breach of contract since they signed up for the sponsorship which included a logo on the NARPM homepage? My guess is Primedia has more lawyers than NARPM, should be interesting.
Josh,
Any idea how much time was left on the Rentals.com contract with NARPM?
They still are listed as academy partner for the “The Property Management Academy”
http://www.tpmacademy.com/
Rentals.com is “The Property Management Academy” partner through July.
The thing is Rentals.com DOES NOT need the NARPM link . They don’t need it trust me - unlike my website most property managers know of rentals.com they don’t know about me at all . But they do know of Rentals.com! I don’t care who you are the market is this property managers (real estate agents ) , real estate investors , the small guy with a rental or two , after that the next line is the RENTER PERIOD - DAN OVER AT RENTMARKETER WROTE A BLOG ONCE THAT LISTED I THINK IT WAS 5 THINGS THAT CAN KILL A REAL ESTATE WEBSITE LISTING COMPANY ( SOME THING LIKE THAT NOT SURE WHAT THE TITLE WAS ) ONE OF HIS POINTS WAS NOT HAVING LISTINGS -AT THE END OF THE DAY IT IS ALL ABOUT TWO THINGS LISTING HAVING THEM AND TRAFFIC SO IF RENTALS.COM CAN CREATE TRAFFIC
( which the traffic will BE renter’s looking for places to rent ) RENTALS.COM WILL BE ABLE TO GET THE LISTINGS -CASE IN POINT MY WEBSITE SMALL UNHEARED OF WHY LIST WITH ME - THE THING I NEED IS LISTINGS AS I CAN GET TRAFFIC TO VIEW THE HOMES IF I HAD LISTINGS AS I GET ON A BAD DAY 40 EMAILS LOOKING FOR HOMES - PERIOD ! THERE IS NOT A DAY THAT GOES BY THAT I DONT GET 40 EMAILS OF PEOPLE LOOKING FOR RENTAL HOMES SO WHAT DO I DO –I SEND THEM IF THEY ARE LOOKING IN JACKSONVILLE TO ROBBIE’S WEBSITE OR IF THEY ARE SOME WERE IN THE UNITED STATES TO RENTVINE - SIMPLE I TRY MY BEST TO HELP THEM HOPING ONE DAY THEY WILL BE BACK AND THAT I WILL HAVE LISTINGS THEN AS THEY ARE RENTERS SO THEY HAVE TO COME BACK SOME WERE TO LOOK AT HOMES WHEN THEIR LEASE IS UP RIGHT ? UNLESS THE NEXT GO AROUND THEY BUY A HOME - AND I HOPE WHEN THEY DO LOOK TO RENT I HAVE SOME LISTINGS FOR THEM TO VIEW - AS FOR RENTALS.COM THEY WILL CREATE TRAFFIC FROM OTHER SOURCES THE FREE MAGAZINE (I WROTE ABOUT THIS IN DAN’S BLOG ) WERE DO YOU THINK THE PROPERTY MANAGER’s WILL LIST AT THE END OF THE DAY - THE PLACE WERE THE MOST PEOPLE WILL COME TO VIEW LISTING’S AT - TRUST ME THIS IS GOING TO BE A WAR AND RENTALS.COM WILL WIN IT -
40 EMAILS A DAY X 7 DAYS A WEEK = 280
280 X 4 WEEKS (MONTH )= 1,120
1,120 X 12 MONTHS = 13,440 EMAILS A YEAR JUST FOR RENTALS — AND THE MOST RENTALS I HAVE EVER HAD LISTED WAS 55 AT ONE TIME NOW THATS JUST THE EMAILS SO HOW MANY PEOPLE VIEW ME AND DONT EMAIL ME ?
That is cool that you send them to Robbie’s site.
I gotta ask, why do you switch from lower to UPPER case all the time when you write? (Reading on the screen is hard enough, UPPER case just makes it that much harder to read your comments.) Just curious. Please don’t take it the wrong way.
This website optimization stuff is just confusing. Who knows what does what. With the upcoming recession, rents should be on the rise.
Rentals.coms’ reputation is starting to show….
There is a Real Estate convention in Citrus County, FL this week and Rentals.com acknowledged that they would like to attend, with a booth.
At first the convention said “OK”, however the convention-holders later e-mailed Rentals.com and informed them that the convention was completely cancelled. Rentals.com then kept hearing rumors that indeed it was not cancelled at all. Rentals.com then called and asked the convention-holder if it was trully cancelled and the convention-holder told them that,”No, it was not cancelled, they just prefer that Rentals.com not attend.”
Ouch….Their reputation will overcome them in the end.
Wow, sounds like Anonymous has the inside scoop.
