DETAILS ABOUT ADVERTISING MEMBERSHIP:
Advertising membership is purchased for a period of one year. During the year, you will be able to LOGIN with your user name and password to make changes to your listing(s), add more photos (up to 6 maximum), make changes to text or prices or details, and delete your listing(s) if appropriate.
You can purchase advertising for a single listing, or for an unlimited number of listings. If you choose the 'Unlimited Listings' option, you can LOGIN and add addidtional listings at any time during the one year membership period.
At the end of a one year time period, you will receive an emailing notifiying you that your membership is about to expire. You may then renew your membership for another year.

HELP HINTS FOR UPLOADING LISTINGS:
1.Login, then click the Purple “Add Listing” button. 

2. BE SURE to click the box at the top of the screen to certify that you have a right to advertise the property.
3. For best results, fill in ALL fields. These are search fields that visitors can use to search for property on 
www.RanchAndCountry.com
NOTE: The property address field (optional) is not a search field and will NOT display on your listing but it will set up a “See Map” link on your listing detail
4. The words in the "Title" field will appear in your listing link address. Make it succinct and relevant - 3 or 4 words. The city (town) will import into the property’s link address so you do not have to put that word in. Do NOT use the characters such as  #  or  ?  or @ or ‘  in your title.
(You will see your listing link address displayed in the browser once you upload your listing and view the detail.)
5. PHOTOS:  Be sure your photos are .jpg and no more than 5 MB. 

Avoid generic photo names like “front.jpg” This is because your membership will create one folder for all the photos in your membership. If you have more than one photo with the same name, this can create a mix up in the display.  
There is a field under each photo upload button for a photo title if desired.

6. Once you have input the listing information and photos, click the purple Upload button at the bottom of the page. Then click VIEW to see your listing detail display. The address in the browser bar will be your listing link address. You can link directly to your listing detail address anywhere - from your website, an email, or an ad. 
NOTE: If you spend more than 15 minutes or so adding a listing, we suggest you scroll down to the bottom of the page and click the purple Upload button. This will save your work. Then you can use the Edit button to go back and finish your entry. (Otherwise, at some point, the page will time out and you could lose your work.)
