ExplorOz Newsletter - Issue 39

The Business Search Engine on ExplorOz.com has recently undergone an overhaul and is now better than ever. The improvements focus on better visibility, ease of use and the official launch of it as a web-tool that anyone can add to their site for free. Note - it does not crawl websites to gather data. URL's must be submitted to be included.

This is the new-look search bar
Add it to your website for FREE

• This Search Bar is the prominent tool for using the Business Search Engine (it is found under the Resources menu on ExplorOz; the bottom of every Forum page; and it appears when clicking Priority + logo links from Trek Notes).

• The Search Bar remains at the top of all pages when using the Search Engine, making refinements of search results much easier

• Better display of listings - less clicks to access full contact information and links

• Simplified process of adding a new listing to the Business Search Engine

• Facility for other people to submit a new business to the Search Engine

• Facility for the Australian 4WD Business Search Engine to appear on other websites - all pointing to the same data

The idea behind providing the Australian 4WD Search Engine as a web-tool is to simplify and coordinate the listing of web links in Australia. There is no other resource that provides this for web-users. For all webmasters, this new tool will make links page maintenance a breeze as they can have a direct link to the Australian 4WD Search Engine rendered in their own site at no cost. It's simply a matter of inserting the HTML code that we provide. More Details
