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

Miami, FL September 10, 2007 – 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.
