Rentals.com Takes The Lead For The First Time

New numbers are in from Compete.com. Quantcast.com numbers are not yet available, but I will update this post when they come in.

Rentals.com takes a dominating lead with a large traffic increase, pushing RentalHouses.com into 2nd place. RentalHouses only held the title for a month.

RentalHomesPlus is now in 3rd place. This is actually pretty big news because now Primedia does not own the top three sites anymore. I like this, but I am not happy that another very large company like Classified Ventures is taken that spot – I would have liked to see a mom and pop site take that spot.

As you can see RentClicks dropped to almost last place – I am not sure why it even gets traffic if all of it redirects to Rentals.com, but I am still happy to see it almost dead.

I am still surprised by HotPads growth the past two months – not sure what is happening there. I will have to take a look into that. Does anyone have any ideas what they are doing?

I am happy to report that my site RentVine is now in the top 6 and after next month I should be in the top 5 once HomeRentalAds.com is dead.

I must say, I am impressed with Rentals.com team for pulling such large numbers, they now have 5 times the traffic I do. But don’t worry I have a few tricks up my sleeve.
