Site Policies

September 1, 2019

At AllOntario, we are working hard to provide:

  • Ontario residents with information about the options they have when an ordinary life problem arises by describing the full range of ways-of-help which are available at Canadian governmental institutions, non-profitable and business organizations;
  • Ontario small businesses with a platform for free online advertising and link building;
  • Ontarians with interesting reading.

Generally, our services are absolutely FREE. Everyone can benefit out of it. Obviously, we need to set the rules to make everybody happy and to keep the site operating properly and securely.

Including a URL in Your Post

If you would like to get more traffic to your web site, you can include a web site address by including a URL in the Ad/Business Listing/Business Event/Expert Listing. Such links will be clickable. Please do not include multiple different email addresses and website addresses (URLs) as they will be removed. Note that your post must be useful and serve other purposes than to direct more traffic to your web site.

The Homepage Top up Banner

The Homepage Top up Banners is a special section at the very top of the AllOntario homepage where ads are prominently displayed for greatest visibility.

You have the option of purchasing a Top up Banner for one week.

At most 10 Top up Banners will be shown in the Top up Banners section. Note that if more than 10 Top up Banners are purchased, only a random ten will be shown. The ads are randomly picked and will change each time the page is loaded. This rotation system is setup to ensure that all Top up Banners is exposed to as many AllOntario users as possible.

The cost for a Top up Banner depends on the demand for that option. The prices are set so that the feature remains a premium option for those that decide to purchase them. For example, if the price for Top up Banners were to be set too low then there would be too many Top up Banners and those that purchase the option will not get as much visibility. Generally, the prices are set on weekly basis and may change at any time.
