RentShout Recognized As Fast Mover in Real Estate Industry

Online, July 21, 2011 (Newswire.com) - Experian Hitwise, the leading global information services company, acclaimed RentShout as a fast mover in their Monthly Category Report for the Real Estate industry in May, 2011. According to the report, RentShout "has witnessed a substantial increase in rank in the 'Business and Finance - Real Estate' online industry", moving up 595 places. The accolade is given to only 10 websites overall, and RentShout placed in the top two from among the group.

The increase in traffic to the site benefits members who have listed their rentals using the RentShout service. Since all members' listings are prominently featured in the RentShout directory, as well as being syndicated to many online rental sites, the traffic boost drives more views to their ads which results in increased tenant leads.

"We continually improve the performance and usability of our service, and this report is a testament to how those efforts have translated into significant benefits for our members" says Misty Lackie, founder and CEO of Go Smart Solutions, LLC, creators of RentShout.

RentShout has also recently enhanced the rental hunters' experience on the site by re-designing the home page, making it easy to find rentals and set up email alerts for new properties that become available. In addition, the company has launched a mobile version of their directory to streamline rental searches from a mobile device, which has increased traffic to the site by more than 20% from visitors using this method.

RentShout.com enables property managers, leasing agents, and rental marketers to create search engine optimized advertisements for their rentals. The ads are automatically sent to rental Internet Listing Services (ILS), classified sites, and video portals, delivering widespread online exposure and visibility for vacancies.
