Q: How do I place an advert?
A: You can
read all about the different types of adverts here – there are free ones available. Scroll down the resulting page until you see the
Create Your Advert Here link and follow the simple instructions.
Q: How soon will my advert appear on the Dog Friendly Britain website?
A: Your advert will be 'live' within a few minutes of the advert being uploaded.
Q: Where will my advert appear?
A: The higher the price of the advert, the nearer it is to the top of the listings – thus all banner adverts appear first and all free adverts last in any listing.
Q: Do the adverts rotate?
A: All main directory adverts (
with the exception of the top 10 'Sticky' banners in each category) rotate, on a daily basis, within their own price bracket.
Q: Are there FREE adverts available?
A: Yes, free listings are available on Dog Friendly Britain. A free advert includes the title of the advert, up to 150 characters of text (including spaces) plus an email contact. To
create your free advert use this link. Please note: Free ads do NOT appear on our Google Map search. Any website information included in a free advert will be removed.
Q: How long does an advert last?
A: All adverts, irrespective of price, run for one year from the date of uploading (t
he only exception to this is for puppies or lost dogs – these advert will appear for three months).
Q: Will you remind me when my advert is due to run out?
A: We email all our advertisers a couple of weeks before their advert is due to expire. The email will include all the information which is required for the renewal, or upgrade, of the advert. Two further reminders will then be sent out and, should we not receive any response, the advert will then be automatically removed from the website.
Q: I already advertise with Dog Friendly Britain and would like to amend my advert. How can I do it?
A: You can
amend your advert at any time using this link together with the email address used when your advert was originally uploaded, and the password which was emailed to you at that time.
Q: I'd like to upgrade my advert. How can I do this?
A: You can upgrade your advert at any time. If your advert is coming to the end of its run you can
use this link to Edit your Advert here together with your password and email address, to access your present advert information. All you need to do then is click on the '
click here' link which is shown below the '
TO UPGRADE your advert' information and follow the simple instructions. If you are only part way through the run of a paid advert (i.e. 6 months) then you should email us at
ann@dogfriendlybritain.co.uk giving full details of the title of your advert and which type of advert you'd like to upgrade to.
Q: What information can be included in my advert?
A: It is entirely up to you what you include in your advert. However, we would suggest that you might like to take a few minutes to think about what you offer, that makes your business especially attractive to dog owners. You may have accommodation that is on the ground floor and which also has direct access to the outside – this could be very popular with dog owners. Maybe you have B&B accommodation and also offer dog sitting? Or you may supply home cooked food to people staying in your self- catering cottages (if you also do the washing up that's even better!). Do you perhaps allow any number of dogs in a property? - multi dog properties are always in demand. Dogs can be allowed in pub/restaurant areas – if you allow them inside your pub, or restaurant, SHOUT ABOUT IT!
Q: Will my advert appear on the Google map search?
A: All
paid-for adverts automatically appear on the Google map search (you can request that we do not display your advert if you wish, although this will mean your advert may not be seen by some of our website users).
Q: We'd like to have a banner advert but don't have one suitable. Can you help?
A: We can design a banner advert for you for a small charge. All we would need is an image, or two, supplied as a jpg file. Alternatively, and with your permission, we may be able to use a picture from your own website.
Q: I don't have a website, can I still advertise with you?
A: You can certainly advertise with us if you don't have a website. However, you can also create your own webpage, quickly and easily, through the Dog Friendly Britain website provided you place a paid-for advert with us (any level). Our web pages are just £6 per year. For more information, including a sample webpage,
please see this page.
Q: I'd like to include my full address and telephone number in the advert. Am I allowed to do so?
A: You can, of course, include your address and telephone number in the main text box if you wish to do so. However, they will count towards the maximum number of characters allowed within the advert (150/400). You may like to give a guide to your location in the Title field of your advert. For example:
Dog Friendly Hotel, Bolingey, nr Perranporth.
Q: I'd like to place an advert but don't want to pay via the internet.
A: Please take a look at our advertising information and choose the type of advert you would like. All you need to then, is just email us giving all the relevant. We will then upload the advert for you and you will be invoiced for payment by BACS, or cheque.
Q: How many people use the Dog Friendly Britain website?
A: Visitors to our website do, of course, vary according to the time of year. Peek times bring us well over 100,000 visits per month. That does, we believe, make our adverts excellent value for money.
Q: I'd like to know more about advertising in the Premium Space positions in the right-hand and left-hand panels.
A: Please email us for further information:
ann@dogfriendlybritain.co.uk
Q: We'd like to include a Dogs Welcome banner / logo on my own website. Do you have one available for us to use?
A: We do have a banner which you can use. Our 'Well Behaved Dogs – Welcome here' banner can be uploaded to any website to let people know that you welcome dogs. Please either right click to download the graphic and create your own link, or copy the block of html below into your webpage to link to the graphic on our server.

A: Just email us quoting your password, the title of your advert, and your own home address and we will remove your advert for you.
Q: I have checked the Google Maps but can't find what I'm looking for. Do you have any other adverts which do not appear on the maps?
