How does Free-Rentals.com make money?

Saturday, February 28th, 2009

Free-Rentals.com has 2 revenue streams, they are as follows:

1) We display advertisements on our website, and when an ad is clicked, we get paid. This is the reason we require non-donating members to return to the website in order to view their rental inquiries…. The more traffic our website has, the more ad revenue revenue we generate. Donating members will have their leads private and emailed directly to them.

2) We offer a program that will send 500 targeted leads to your listing over the span of a time duration that you specify in advance. Either 1 month, 2 months, 3 months, 6 months or 1 year. 

Of course, you will receive more traffic than this, this amount is the additional traffic we send you above and beyond our regular organic traffic.

Here is how it works. You donate $169 USD to Free-Rentals.com in your membership account section, and then indicate if you want your additional traffic to span over 1,2,3,6, or 12 months.
 
We retain $46 USD of the $169 you pay us, (actually closer to $38 USD since we cover the cost of money transfers) and then spend the other $135 on Google Adwords ads to bring targeted traffic directly to your listing on Free-Rentals.com. 
 
You can expect 500 or more leads to view your listing for this amount of money, above and beyond the natural organic traffic our site has. However, unlike the organic traffic, these 500 leads we send you are highly targeted and specifically attracted to your rental unit. We use Google’s Adwords technology to insure you are getting the most bang for your buck.
