As you may be aware, more than 10 million Canadian homes use the Internet on a regular basis and according to Sympatico™, "camping" and "campgrounds" are two of the most popular search items during the summer months. In the internet world, camping-canada.com is what is known as a portal or a central repository of (campground) information. During the camping season, camping-canada.com gets well over one million hits per month..... from people looking for camping information and/or camping destinations (by the way, if you type "camping" in Google Canada .... we consistently rank at the top of the list). By getting listed in our national campground directory and for a fraction of the cost of running a magazine advertisement, you can advertise your campground on a national and even international scale. Here are the listing options;
"Free listing" option
Our "Free listing" is our most basic type of listing. Although it allows you to get your campground listed in camping-canada.com, only very basic information about your campground (ie. your campground location, number of sites and phone number) will be stored in our campground directory. The major drawbacks of "Free listings" are that (1) they show up last in campground searches and (2) they don't show up at all in "advanced" searches (searches by location and camping preferences) since we can't store facilities & services information for "Free listings". Finally, note that "Free listings" do not actually have a listing that can be updated like the other type of listings described below.
"Bronze listing" option
With our "Bronze listing" option, you actually get a basic listing and you get access to our listing maintenance tools. These tools allow you to easily update your listing by entering your listing information in the forms provided. It's as simple as that! In a nutshell, our tools grab the information you enter on a form and automatically update your listing information in the background. No programming knowledge required, you just fill the form! You'll be able to update your listing as often as you want, "24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year". Note that since "Bronze listings" include facilities & services information, they show up in both basic searches and advanced searches..... before "Free listings" but after "Silver listings" and "Gold listings". To see which pages are included with a "Bronze listing", click here.
"Silver listing option"
A "Silver listing" is basically a "Bronze listing" with a lot more campground information and more features such as a photo album, a "camp-kit", online reservations and more. Note that "Silver listings" show up before "Free listings" and "Bronze listings" but after "Gold listings" in campground search results. To see which pages are included with a "Silver listing", click here.
"Gold listing option"
Our "Gold listing" is our premium listing. It includes all the bells and whistles. With a "Gold listing", you not only have a photo album but you can also have a video of your campground. You can have your own campground bulletin board and an events calendar. You can advertise rental units and take reservations. It's got it all! Furthermore, "Gold listings" are always listed first in campground search results. What a way to get exposure! To see which pages are included with a "Gold listing", click here.
