Online ad syndication issues?
I have noticed when you post an online ad that does automatic syndication to site such as Zillow, hotpad etc etc etc...there are errors on the feature list.
I guess that came from the differences in various databases, and some features are listed on one and not on another and how they handle the mismatched features when syndicating.
For example, I used postlets last week to post an ad for a unit within a four plex building.
On Zillow I saw the ad a few hours later, indicating I had a pool, a doorman, a deck, a garden, a porch and an intercom. None of those are true and none of those were flagged on postlets...well I remember explicitly checked NO POOL and NO INTERCOM and postlets didn't have an option for doorman. I checked other sites and there are other feature errors.
This could certainly create false expectation...could potential tenants complained about false advertising? "Hey I didn't have a doorman you said there is a doorman!"
How do you all deal with this? Turn off these automatic syndication feature and go to each site and post your own ad?
Is there a better place to do this then postlets?
