Note that some of these websites post to other websites. For example, www.NetRent.com posts to googlebase, vast, move, oodle, hotpads, lycos, and our own website, HomePointe. In addition, www.NetRent.com also has a feature that puts photos and all data up to www.Craigslist.com and www.Backpage.com with just a couple of clicks per listing. Craigslist is not user friendly for putting a lot of listings up on their site, but NetRent makes it a lot easier. Plus NetRent has report features for posting our listings outside our door and hit count reports so we can track activity like how many are looking at each listing and how many email and called us.
Our clients get a wide exposure to all these sites for just a couple of dollars a day. Compare that to the newspaper in our area that charges over $25.00 a day for which you only get three lines of copy and a referral back to our website and and phone number.

We use those and a few others as well. I like VFlyer and Active Rain best. This is the first I've heard of NetRent. I use ClassifiedFlyerAds too; I learned of them here on ActiveRain.
Having taken the HomeRentals classes in Scottsdale in Sept, I am using postlet HTML for our Craigslist with my website link in the property description although postlet has added this feature within the last few weeks....I am posting 5 or 6 property listings EARLY every day 7 days a week (I've spent the last 3 days doing them for 20 upcoming * July/August * vacancies.. my HomeRentals website also posts on their "partner" sites; however, I am only aware of inquiries from HotPads although I know my ads are on the other sites, I just don't get the inquiries through them and they are coming through my website with property identifying information.
I am working hard to get our area listed on AHRN (automated housing referral network) website since we have a JAG school at UVa Law School as well as a large military facility in the area that has 2,000 military families coming in over the next few years as the facility is doubling its size.
Although we do have a rental section of our Realtor MLS, as of this year, I am only posting vacant property listings there that have lockboxes as Realtors * I love them * don't/can't read...
Great discussion * I'm very interested in seeing other responses to your question!!
