Fort Lauderdale, FL December 18, 2007 -- Vacation Rentals Web Directory (http://www.vrwd.com) announces the launch of the VRWD Affiliate Program, a new way for webmasters and vacation home owners to earn money while promoting their own web pages and listings in the Vacation Rentals Web Directory or by referring customers through affiliate links. The VRWD Affiliate Program is free to join, is easy to sign-up for and requires no technical knowledge. Affiliates deliver listing submissions to VRWD.com and in return receive immediate and annual recurring 50% commission payments for each listing submission.

"In addition to gaining commissions, vacation rental publishers have an additional way to profit from the affiliate program," explained founder John Romano. "Vacation rental publishers, owners and webmasters can gain more search engine visibility for their sites when their property listings are submitted to VRWD."

Upon joining the VRWD Affiliate Program, affiliates are supplied with a range of banners and textual links to place on their site. When a user clicks on one of these links, they will go to www.VRWD.com where their activity is tracked by VRWD affiliate software. VRWD then pays affiliates a commission based on the site's performance. The affiliate's only responsibility is to properly install and maintain the links and banners using the code VRWD provides.

VRWD uses trusted third party software to manage the affiliate network, which ensures accurate commission calculations. Affiliates' password-protected online activity reports are available 24 hours a day to check sales, traffic, account balance and banner performance.

The VRWD Affiliate Program offers one of the highest commission payouts within the travel industry, with an immediate 50% commission for all referred listings. A 50% commission will continue to be paid yearly for every renewed listing.

New affiliates earn $10 just for registering for the program, and there is no cost or obligation to sign up. Program details and sign up information can be found at http://www.vrwd.com/vacation-rentals-affiliate/index.php.

Vacation Rentals Web Directory Announces the Launch of the Trusted Vacation Rental Seal

Fort Lauderdale, FL September 10, 2007 – Vacation Rentals Web Directory (VRWD.com) announces the launch of the Trusted Vacation Rental Seal. The Trusted Vacation Rental Seal allows vacation rental owners to display VRWD.com’s trust in their rental listings, providing a great platform to earn the public’s trust and increase rentals.

“Our Trusted Vacation Rental Seal is a great benefit to vacation rental owners and consumers alike,” says John Romano, founder of VRWD.com. “When a rental listing has this seal, consumers know that the listing is approved by our site, the world's first and only marketplace that reviews and rates vacation rental Web sites and rentals. In turn, vacation rental owners that post listings on VRWD.com can reap the benefit of the public’s trust.”

Vacation rental owners that place the Trusted Vacation Rental Seal on their Web site and link to it in e-mails provide consumers with instant access to their reviewed, rated and trusted vacation rental listing on VRWD.com, the first and only vacation rental directory that provides a single gateway to thousands of vacation rental Web sites around the world.

In addition to building public trust, the seal provides a way for VRWD.com listed properties to stand apart from competitors. Both the seal and e-mail link differentiate a user’s rental from the thousands of others found on the Web. According to a July 2004 study sponsored by VeriSign, 80 percent of online consumers expect to see a trust mark displayed on a Web site’s home page. Listings without the Trusted Vacation Rental Seal lack the assurance that the seal provides consumers. The VRWD.com seal shows consumers that the rental listing is recommended and is not a potential online fraud threat.

VRWD.com’s Trusted Vacation Rental Seal can also help a vacation rental owner or business increase profits. According to the VeriSign study, 75 percent of online consumers will only make purchases through sites that include a trust mark. A vacation rental listing with the VRWD.com Trusted Vacation Rental Seal will appeal to the many consumers who are searching for trusted listings, bringing monetary benefit to the rental’s owner.

To display the Trusted Vacation Rental Seal, vacation rental owners and businesses must be listed in the Vacation Rentals Web Directory, must adhere to the Vacation Rental Code of Ethics and must not modify the Trusted Vacation Rental Seal code in any way.

To generate a Trusted Vacation Rental Seal, vacation rental owners and businesses must add a listing in the Vacation Rentals Web Directory and generate html code for the Trusted Vacation Rental seal and link.
