view counters (by Phil L.):
Mike this is one of those questions we have talked about that just fades away without a answer.
I read this question starting couple years ago from others who were trying to rent and never getting a response.
If a counter was added then many people would see just how little or how much they got for their money running a ad.
Owners trying to rent top resorts on a beach probably see a lot of traffic but most owners probably are lucky if their ad or resorts are looked at very much.
I tried running a ad last two years for July fourth week in Lake Tahoe and not one response and both years the Ridge Naegle buildings were full for that week.
I had the only Ridge Tahoe Naegle unit renting on Redweek for that week and had price of later non-holiday weeks beat by $200 and still nothing and I would bet if there was a counter it would have shown less that 10 hits after all those months listed.
I talked to one owner who had July 4th week 2007 and pulled his ad off here late June 07 and gave it to the resort to rent and it was rented in two days for the whole week.
We pulled ours off last year and also this years two weeks from time to use it to make our plans up there and had a great time.
We ran a ad on Tug and on a site you recommended to me and had hits from both but it was just people trying to get something for nothing and that isn't going to happen. Both sites cost me nothing to list my rental.
While in Lake Tahoe this July 4th week we had one person that tried to rent for cheap price and thinking we were stuck still had not found what they wanted for their price (cheap). and offered on July first to rent for July 3-5.
While up at our resort they sent e-mail acting like they were doing us a favor still willing to take our unit and I had my daughter e-mail her back stating we were in Lake Tahoe now and enjoying our week.
Only reason we even knew was because I had her check our e-mail well we were in Tahoe.
