FlipKey Launches Vacation Rental Guest Review and Management Service
March 27, 2008 – 11:30 amWe have discussed FlipKey in the past, and yesterday they opened their doors to everyone.
FlipKey was created out of frustration. While the founders were managing their own vacation rentals, they discovered that there was a lack of trust and consumer awareness among prospective guests searching for vacation rentals.
From the FlipKeyBlog:
FlipKey was created to help managers of all sizes collect verified guest reviews to establish a trusted internet-based reputation. The FlipKey Reputation Manager allows managers to easily invite past guests to share their vacation rental experience. Guest reviews are collected by FlipKey, verified for authenticity and then published on your website, FlipKey.com and any other marketing channels you may leverage.
FlipKey allows managers to publicly respond to reviews to thank guests for their positive experience or to address improvements. All replies are posted to the original reviews, so you can effectively manage your reputation and communicate the full value of your service.

Just a quick look at their site, their SEO is not very good with Title tags.

Last month I had an opportunity to go to Loire Valley France. I had experienced a new thing out their and i.e., vacation rental service. By using the vacation rental service, I got a chance to drive around and visit the places I desired.
