FAQ - Frequently asked questions - Farmnews New Zealand rural directory

Why do listings "await approval" and not go on automatically?
We want to make sure listings are placed in the right category and that all sections are filled out correctly to ensure that the directory's search tools will pick them up properly. We also want to ensure the directory is not "spammed" by porn sites and the like.

How do I make a listing?
If you're a first-time user, click on Register. You can add your contact details and add a new listing on the same page.
To add more listings, log in to your new account (click "remember me" and the directory will remember your login details for you). From this area you can add, edit or delete listings, and edit your contact information.

How can I tell if people are finding my listing?
When you log in statistics are available which tell you how many click throughs there have been to your website from the directory, if you have a silver listing or above.

How do I change my listing?
Log in to your account, click on Edit My Listings. Choose the listing you want to change, and click the Edit button.

What does it cost?
Basic listings are free. There are several upgrade options, which are outlined here.

How can I upgrade my listing?
Log in to your account, click on Upgrade My Listings. Choose the listing you want to upgrade. The program will take you through the steps. If you choose an upgraded listing, you can click on Images to add a logo or picture to your listing.

I want to sponsor a category
You can sponsor the category your listing is in, or another related category. For example, a feed manufacturer may wish to sponsor the feed outlets category. There is only one sponsor per category.
