Advertizing online for rentals available to tenants

[Account Closed]

Does anyone know precisely how the various online websites interact? 

It appears that a "postlet" will upload to Zillow, Yahoo, hotpads and Trulia....according to how I read their process online.

Does Craiglist require the extra step to get on their site?  

What is getting the most traffic these days?

Seems like Craigslist is not as popular as previously?

Just started using these other methods and trying to weigh out the benefits.

Is there a simple way to get all the exposure?

Appreciate your insight!

Don't know precisely how they interact and I wouldn't focus too much on that because they probably change all the time!

Postlets is great because it does feed to a lot of other sites. Craigslist is always great and I have no idea what you mean by an extra step. It's certainly user friendly for your customer. Craigslist remains extremely popular.

What works best probably depends upon your area and price point. I use them all! None of them takes too long to set up. I also use the MLS much of which feeds to redundant sites, but I have a brokerage so it's easy for me and you can never over-market.

It's always important to have your own website where you post your properties and to drive traffic there.

Hope this helps!
