Michelle from ExplorOz
Got a problem so figured I'd enlist the help of more brains....
David and I are trying to come up with a change of tagline for ExplorOz. ie. where at the top of the site on the
Home Page (and how search engines indexed us), we say ExplorOz - a guide to 4WD Trip Planning.
We want to remove the 4WD emphasis and also the word "guide" is misleading (ie. we're not a tour guide). And its the start of a new year, so looking for something fresh as our tagline.
Some ideas are:
ExplorOz - Gateway to understanding the Australian Touring and Camping
Recreation
ExplorOz - Trip Planning and Vehicle Setup
ExplorOz - Everything you need to know about 4WDs, Caravans & Camping
ExplorOz - The place to go, before you go.
ExplorOz - Australia's Biggest Resource for Planning Trips
ExplorOz - Bringing consumers and industry together
ExplorOz - Travel planning, Advice and Resources
Please enter your suggestsions - needs to be short and catchy and descriptive of what the WHOLE site offers. What a tough call I know but can you try please?ExplorOz

G'day Michelle,
Why would you want to remove the 4WD emphasis ???
No offence intended here, but I do hope that this is not the result of a (real or perceived) need to be seen as "Politically Correct".. Or any kind of a
cave-in to the "Anti-4WD" brigade !!!
It seems to me that if one really wants to "Exploroz" (in the true sense), whether caravanning, or camping with or without a campertrailer (or whatever), a medium-to-heavy 4WD is by far the best choice of vehicle...
As usual, JMO !!
Of the choices you list, I'd go with #3..

Ed. C. much of what is on the site is relevant to people who travel australia in a motorhome, a campervan etc. And the 4WD word is limiting if used in the tagline - the very first thing that is promoted across the internet, in all search engines, in all marketing etc. and sets up a precident that doesn't exist. However, as we all know, in reality a 4WD is the prefered option for getting the most out of Exploring Oz and hopefully the information on this site will clarify that to people that come to it, without the notion that they might need one, but then realise by the articles and information on the site that they should. We have always had a readership that included people in the very early trip planning stages who haven't selected THE vehicle so we don't want to
pigeon hole ourselves in our tagline, as not everyone identifies themselves as a 4WDriver - eg. people sometimes view themselves as a caranner, but pull it behind a 4WD, but don't call themselves a 4WDriver. There is stacks of relevant information on the site for them, and they have a place here. That's all!ExplorOz

David and Michelle, I think the inclusion of "offroad" has the same effect as "4WD" that you are apparently trying to avoid. So to have "offroad" AND "4WD", you've just doubled the perception that its for tough outback travel only.
If you want to make it more generic and really drive home the brand name, try something like:
Explore ExplorOz before you explore Oz.
Then add a bit like melissa's above - "get the most out of your travels,
camping &
4WDriving."
Smile, you're on ExplorOz

Hi Michelle and David,
This may upset yourselves and others, but shouldn't you be asking the members first before placing it on the
forum? We are the ones who are paying to gain the extra privileges of this great and educational site. Please do not not misinterpret what I am saying, but I would certainly hate to see the 4WD side of this site become insignificant. My vehicle is covered in ExplorOZ stickers and the spare wheel proudly displays the ExplorOz cover, but I would had not like to be providing advertising at my cost to a site that no longers provides the 4wd fraternity with so much knowledge and advice.
I agree that your tag may turn others away, but why not change how the search engines link to your site before changing your tagline.

Glenn,
It's no big deal, more of an internet search engine thing, (sorry can't control the thousands of them and how they work). It doesn't change the site or what we do AT ALL. By the very nature of
travelling the outback and the resources we provide, this is still very much and always will be a 4WD site, it's just that there is more we can do with a more generic tag line. I actually reckon most people have never noticed the tag line before, as we don't use it other than for search engine indexing as the page title.
I didn't mean it be a big deal, hence a special members post, just was spending too much time (ie. more than 10mins) on something that I thought you'd all like to be involved in. The
forum is for me, useful in that I get instant answers and I wanted some instant
feedback. I use it a little differently to other people, as I am trying to always refine our site to keep you (and advertisers) happy so its the best R&D I can do.ExplorOz

Hi Michelle, I agree that this site is "the best R&D", in fact I would say, the greatest R&D site available. Don't sell yourselves short. I just think that it would be a horrible shame for you to remove "4WD" from the tag line.
I am a true supporter of your site, and have met a great buch of people because of it. I promote it as much as I can, with stickers and the spare wheel cover, as a 4WD site, great for advice and information.
I also use this site to gain knowledge on future trips, as well as what should be carried, how to entertain the kids whilst travelling, how to set up an 80 series etc...
I stand corrected, I have just tried to find what used to come up on
search engines, and now it appears as exploroz...phew. I do apologise.
Keep up the great work.Just Do It!

Number 3 - is our tagline on our vehicle signage, so glad you like it.
Number 4 - was the best (IMO) of my current suggestions but wasn't sure it spelt out the right words - which the
search engines need. It was a bit too vague, but we could use it elsewhere for marketing.

Steve,
See two replies up - We are just looking to broaden the reach of the inital contact with the world. If someone is planning to come to Aust and drive around in a hire car they may not see 4WD as an option until they read how great it is to be in a 4WD. A lot of tourists have no idea how they are going to get around the country. So in the inital contact with these poeple (
search enigine page header) we need to get them onto the site and explore the 4WD options for exploring oz. It has nothing to do with a site focus change more to do with broading the reach which is good for the content, advertisers members and every visitor who uses the site.Regards

Yep !! can cope with that !! The prob with overseas 'units' is that they ? and some of us, have no comprehension of the size/vastness of our country !! as i was when i got here !! thought we could see most of it over a long weekend .... u may recall my comments about
trip planning some time ago... this place of 'ours' needs to be overlaid on a map of Europe or wherever so as the viewers can (maybe) comprehend the vastness of this country... its a big job but someone has to start !!! Ever seen a map of Europe overlaid on
Australia ? How about it !!! And its this size that really is a requirement for a 4wd to travel the outback in comfort and safety... that makes me respond to ure line !!

Hi all,
How about:
ExplorOz - Australian Touring from Coast to Outback
I also agree with the over emphasis on 4WD's.
Many treks you have on your site are easily done in a 2WD vehicle (YES they are).
Some could also be done with a bicycle, on foot, motorbike and even perhaps a camel to name the first few that came to mind.
I also would say that you have 4WD's mentioned so often on the site that the major internet
search engines would pick the site up anyway.
4WD's would be the preferred option to most I guess, but is by no means the only available option.
At the end of the day, each to his/her own. This is my personal opinion only.
Cheers to all
Equinox

Huge response everyone thanks very much for the input so far.
For an illustration of the change we want to make, go to Google and set your
search options for pages in
Australia and then enter the keywords of say,
4wd travel
the results lists shows us in No. 1 postion, however the tagline says
"A Highly Detailed Guide to 4WD
Trip Planning Australia Wide".
This is actually the tag line that I need to change, I led you a bit astray when I shortened it to what is shown onthe home page (ie. guide to 4WD
trip planning). So I need to change the whole thing and would prefer it to be shorter, catchier yet descriptive of what we offer.
Most suggestions here are getting extremely close, but I haven't quite got it spot on... what about ExplorOz -
Australia's Ultimate WebGuide to Travel &
Camping? David hates the words Gateway, Portal, WebGuide etc but I think that's the problem I need ONE descriptive word that says you can get to everything here. Now surely someone out there is a English Literature professor with a flair for marketing??
If you're all bored by now I understand ... but for those that haven't had a crack at it, thought I'd steer you along some more... while I write a newsletter going out today!!!ExplorOz

Then you could use something like;

Yes, that is the obvious easy change but I never really like it much in the first place. It might end up that way. It was actually given to us as a suggested tagline from a

It's catchy . . . . but is it expansive enough for the uninitiated?"Live today as if there may be no tomorrow"

OK then, I think I'm getting close now. I going to try...
"Find out more about 4WDing,
camping & caravanning"
It's very similar to the graphics on our vehicle, and in fact its probably better.
I'm also getting a massive sticker made (on request from tour operators and other business/advertisers who want one on their cars) to say the same - set to the left besides the logo. Sound alright to you??Regards Michelle,

Hi Michelle
Try for the real short title but I think more importantly you should add in a description that appears below the title in a
search result. For example:
EPLOREOZ - The place to go before you go!
Exploreoz is your complete resource for 4wd,
camping, planning trips, advice and industry links in
Australia.
This description is picked up and displayed by most
search engines and allows for a longer explanation (not too long though). The code looks like this and is just beneath the code for your title on the home page:
If you have no description code it will display the first string of text.
Good Luck :)

Pradoman, thanks for the text idea, however we already have the description code worked out to pick up the page text which is perfect and just want I want already. The
search engine performance we have is sensational thanks to David's expert knowledge and continual tweaking over time. It's just a marketing point of view that I want to change the text that shows in the browser window header and also the larger first line heading shown in the
search engine results.
I like you, prefer a short title, but in fact better performance is found if that title uses important keywords, hence I have settled on my latest version using the 4WD,
camping and
caravanning words.
Anyway, its no big deal for now. I'm going to get David to make the change and we'll wait and see.
BTW - overnight, we made a change to page titles for the
Trader and
Shop and jumped to the top rank in
search results for 4WDs for sale,
GPS for sale etc etc. This system of change indexes immediately, and does not take mths to be identified by the
search engine metacrawlers as it uses a different method and gives the most important result to us.Regards Michelle,
