The site survives on the good will of users who donate their time, money, numerous other resources and a few very welcome commercial advertisers.

Without ALL their support the place would not be what it is.

The system provides an area called Markets for people to advertise, for free, anything of interest to users.

AULRO does not allow advertising in the forums as many other sites do.

but

Anyone, including commercial vendors, can advertise whatever they want to advertise, as long as it is legal in Australia, for nothing, in the markets.

Main Index - AULRO Classifieds

They can then post a link to their advert in the Market Place Alerts area

Marketplace Alerts - Australian Land Rover Owners

so it shows up in new post searches etc

there is the obvious exception being the Club and Special interest Group areas which have their own way of doing things with in their own PRIVATE areas and not in visible public areas of the site.

There are also a Banner Advertising scheme.

And now a new VENDOR subscription level... information below.

THESE ARE THE ONLY PLACES WHERE YOU CAN ADVERTISE ANYTHING COMMERCIAL.

I will NOT TOLERATE abuse of the system by those wishing to take advantage of the user base, without them contributing to the upkeep of the system.

NO COMMERCIAL ADVERTISING IS PERMITTED ANYWHERE OTHER THAN IN THE MARKETS OR THE BANNER ADVERTISING SERVICE ON THE SYSTEM UNLESS YOU HAVE A CURRENT VENDOR SUBSCRIPTION.

THAT MEANS :-

NO COMMERCIAL ADVERTISING IS PERMITTED IN SIGNATURES UNLESS YOU HAVE A CURRENT VENDOR SUBSCRIPTION.

NO COMMERCIAL ADVERTISING IS PERMITTED WITH IN MESSAGES in areas other than the MARKETS UNLESS YOU HAVE A CURRENT VENDOR SUBSCRIPTION AND ARE POSTING IN THE VERANDAH AREA.

if you are in are in doubt, ask me or one of the moderators or admins for guidance. Step over the line, you will receive a warning, step over it again and you will have your access removed.

If you wish to push your own barrow, do it in the markets or use the banner adverts is the moral of the story...
