Thoughts on VRBO's new sponsored listings
Curious of everyone's thoughts on VRBO's new sponsored listings. Basically search ad placement for listings. It looks like a way to make hosts auction style bid to win top placement in search results.

Always something new to try to grab an extra dollar. I have become increasingly unhappy with VRBO. So much so, that we began listing on Airbnb in March. Now, the two are probably 50/50 in terms of how many reservations I get. VRBO obviously didn't come out too well on that deal. I am a firm believer that if you treat people fairly, they will have no reason to look elsewhere for services. When you start gigging your customers, you poke them to start looking around. That usually doesn't end well.
