    why 3 sites ?

    Someone has asked about renting villa and I am going to recommend this site or rather 3 sites.

    I know I'm going to be asked what is the difference and why? So can you bring me up to speed before I get back to them.

    Thanks.

    Hi David

    First there was one http://www.orlandovillas.com/. When this site reached the limit of properties advertising that John and Roger set, a waiting list was formed with hundreds of owners waiting to join.

    John and Roger decided to create another website to accommodate all the owners on the waiting list.

    Then again after couple of years later the same again. Hence the three sites. Even now there is still a waiting list.

    In 2011 the decision was made to amalgamate the latter two websites into http://www.orlandovillarentals.com/

    Ah ha, so that's how it evolved.

    So there is only two sited I need to tell them about
    http://www.orlandovillas.com/
    and
    http://www.orlandovillarentals.com/

    this will cover all registered owners then.

    I wonder why they don't roll-up into the original web address to avoid any confusion?

    That is all to do with marketing, search engine placements and such, the darkside of the internet
