Owner Chat: Weekly forum highlights

As our annual break comes to an end it's back in the hot seat, scouring the web for noteworthy rental news.

Here's a round-up of some of the web chatter from vacation rental owners that caught our eye over the past couple of weeks. If you haven't already participated in an online forum, we strongly recommend it - other owners can be the source of some great advice!

Flipkey tips
An old thread revives on the mixed success of FlipKey for some owners. They don't take the same approach as other rental listing sites and this seems to be confusing some advertisers. A couple of tips for higher bookings are in this thread.

Facebook Badges
Social networking has been the biggest story on the web for some time but we're all having a hard time figuring out how to use it for business. Here's a few tips and experiences on the popular Facebook "like" button.

Owners Direct massive price increase
One of the cheapest (and most effective) sites in the HomeAway stable has raised its prices - provoking the title of "greedy b*****ds" from one angry owner. LayMyHatters respond.

Better to have more or less competition?
This very interesting thread could do with some more case studies from owners. The debate tackles how the volume of competing properties affects your success when advertising on a rental website. Is there an optimum level of competitors?
