ExplorOz Newsletter - Issue 43

The box titled Latest News is now automated with links to new stuff. This includes Press Releases and a new feature called Site Updates.

Site Updates - this link takes you to a page showing every single page that we have edited or new pages right across the entire site within the last month. This is done to provide you with easy and automatic notification of these changes. As you will see, there's a lot of updates going on continuously. 

• tell the stores & tour operators that you visit ExplorOz. Advise them that they can advertise for FREE on ExplorOz. Then tell them that there is an "Add Business" button (under our Advertising menu) OR
• enter the business into our prospects system yourself (Add Business)- however this will only email them an introductory letter advising them that someone has referred their business and provide a link to follow to setup a listing (they chose a free listing or a paid Priority + listing) OR
• become a commission-based Advertising Co-ordinator for ExplorOz. We are looking for people from WA, VIC and QLD.

Road Conditions reports are updated each week with all the input we've received during the period from local councils, main roads departments and national park offices around Australia. In many areas of Australia reports are not issued unless there has been a change, and often we do not know when to expect a new report. Our consolidated report is only as good as the information we receive - so if you find any anomalies please let us know and we can fix it immediately.
Coming Soon  for members only - live update interaction
