Here is a Facebook Rental Search tab that is for property managers... it pulls ALL of your rentals and makes them searchable in a Facebook Tab. It costs about $500 to setup. Send me a message if you want to see more.

I just added Reviews app to our page last night.

Select Edit Page icon

Then you will see a list of choices and select Apps

At the bottom of the list, select browse more applications.

Then you need to select apps for Pages

then toggle through the list to find Reviews. For me it was on page 17.

Hope this helps. Probably would be easier with screen shots.

Just add the Facebook "like" image and link it to your Facebook page. If you build that in word or dreamweaver, I would assume you can copy it into your profile in HTML mode. Thanks

"Rent My Home" tab on Facebook?

Pattie,

I believe you add the like button to your vrbo page by going under the administration tab in vrbo, you will see under each property on the left side under the heading that says widgets for your listing. Click on that and see if the like button is an option. It was so long ago when I added mine.

As for a facebook page, it depends on what kind of page you have setup, places, company, personal. Send me a link to your facebook page and Il have a look. I think the answer to your question is that you can personalize the links on the left side of facebook by adding an app called "html+iframe". Its pretty easy to install and setup. You can then customize some tabs within the link etc. Hope this helps!

Hi Patti, unfortunately I can't help you out with this...I just wanted to add a comment.

I am also having issues with Facebook...trying to set up a business page etc. I can't seem to find any answers regarding the issues that I am having and no way to contact cusotmer support. I have spent days trying to figure out how to add or change things on my FB vacation rental page. It is very frustrating.

Good luck...I hope someone will post an answer that will help you out (and me also).

Hi everyone!

I need some help. After spending my entire day trying to figure out two things, I hope someone can guide me. I've been reading over and over everyone's information but have not been able to figure this stuff out (maybe I'm getting too old for this)

1) how do I put a Facebook "like" button on my VRBO site?

2) how do I get new tabs on the left side of my Facebook page? I'd like to have a "reviews" tab and also "links" tab.

thank you!

Pattie

Thanks! I'll get it straightened out (re: the extra http://) Glad to know you've fixed the problem re: linking to Facebook.

Hi Pat,

We released a fix today to resolve the problem you were seeing where you couldn't add your Facebook link to your profile. I tested it on my own profile and it apears to be working now.

If you are still interested in adding that link to your profile, please give it a try when you have a chance. I noticed that the URL you are using ( http://http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Misty-Laurel-Chalet/150484775008894 ) has an extra http:// at the beginning of it. Please remove it or use this version of your URL:

http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Misty-Laurel-Chalet/150484775008894

If you have any problems with it, feel free to post back here or send me a private message.

Cheers!

Tom, please see my reply to your direct email for what I did to add the "Like" feature to my VRBO listing.

I tried to also send it to Jeff, but the email address I have for him (community@homeaway.com) isn't functional for receipt of emails and it was returned as undeliverable.

Hope you're successful!

Pat

P.S. A friend is becoming a Social Networking / Electronic Marketing consultant and he'll be offering his services soon. Altogether, there's a big learning curve involved, between creating a good website, SEO'ing it, and then adding a lot of links to the other sites that can help us, such as Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, and Flickr. Let me know if you'd like his help, ok?

I will look into the Facebook linking issue and provide an update here when I have an answer (unlikely this evening).

In the meantime, your question about tags is a good one. Tags feed into the search functionality on this site. The tags can also be used for a tag cloud feature as an alternate method of browsing the content on the site.
