Hi All,
With regard to advertising Russell, the owner of Birding Aus, posted an
email on the 1st of november last year which started as
"Some months ago I removed the "no advertising" restriction and simply
asked that people who wished to advertise birding services and products
are welcome to do so, but that they should place ADVERTISEMENT in the
subject header."
etc etc.
"Russell Woodford
Birding-Aus Owner"
I presume that he considers advertising OK. As he pointed out in that
email it is a trivial exercise to filter out emails with that word in
the title if you don't want to see them.
Cheers
Andrew Hobbs.

Hi all,
In my opinion, B-A is an appropriate place to advertise as there are many, many
enquiries from birders overseas on this list. I'd be happy to contribute to the
cost of running b-a, and have in fact offered Russell such in the past, if I am
to place ads on b-a.
In fact, I didn't even know of the existence of ausbird, until I read this
thread...
Regards
John

I completely agree Fiona - and I do some guiding as well. This to me is not
the right forum for this.

Subject: Advertising
It seems to me that this site is not the right place to advertise
birding tours. There have been quite a few recently and I cannot imagine
that it was set up by Russell as a commercial venture. There is a
perfectly good Australian birding directory specifically designed by Klaus
Uhlenhut for that. It contains everything to do with birding from guides,
tour companies, accommodation (single cottages through to much larger
establishments), art, equipment supplies, etc. It is www.ausbird.com
I am sick of people wanting to advertise on the cheap and filling up a
site that was, I'm sure, not designed for that. Do other birders agree
with me? Ausbird has had about 750,000 hits and I would hate to see all
that on birding-aus.
Cheers, Fiona
