LET THE RACE BEGIN - IT'S TIME TO JOIN THE RACE AND HOP ON THE MAP FOR THE 'WORLDWIDE CYBERTHON' AT www.earthhoppers.com

Check out our 'first' Australian advertiser on Australia's map page!Click on MI Helicopters logo and you'll be taken through to their website.

Which country will be the first to complete their map to win the great virtual tourism race? An off the planet cyberspace tourism race!

EarthHoppers.com offers businesses with anything associated to tourism and travel a unique opportunity to 'showcase' their goods and services to a world wide audience.

Welcome to the great global challenge - 'OUR EARTH'S GREAT RACE'.

The ultimate goal is to accomplish - the first international earth hoppers 'virtual' guide to the planet as well as helping disadvantaged children around the world. An annual 10% profit of each country's map's income will be given to each country's respected children's charities.

With the international promotion of 'OUR EARTH'S GREAT RACE' at www.earthhoppers.com , businesses large or small can buy advertising space on their country's map page and join the race to see which country has the determination to become the world's 'number one' tourist destination. Or, they may hop on as an 'affiliate advertiser'. This will not make the winning country the official number one tourist destination, but will bring a lot of attention to their desire in succeeding to do so. Internet users, travellers, and people in general will click on business texts, images, or logos and this will give them a direct link to the business website.

EarthHoppers.com is offering an incredible opportunity for the world to participate in one of our earth's friendliest races.

Relevant to each country and its region/territory/jurisdiction will be logos, text, or images of helpful tourist information: Adventure tours, Resorts, Events, Travel Agents, Airlines, Hotels, Motels, Retreats, Backpacker Accommodation, Bed and Breakfast, Tourist information centres, Sporting venues, Hire vehicles, Restaurants, Pubs and Clubs, Coach and rail travel, fun parks, shops, even real estate for overseas investors, anything to do with the tourism industry - a virtual one stop travel shop for each country.

Tourism is one of the world's foremost industries and this is a challenge too exceptional for your business to miss, bringing to the surface an overwhelming pride in your own country and what it has to offer the rest of the world.

For businesses using the 'ORIGINAL PURCHASE' method, www.earthhoppers.com is an inexpensive and invaluable advertising investment for two years until you receive a notice to 'renew' your advertising for the same previous fee - at this point if you wish you can remove your text, logo, or image, replacing it with an updated version in the same amount of pixel spaces. If the advertiser chooses to 'quit' www.earthhoppers.com then their text, logo, or image shall be removed and the pixel spaces resold to another advertiser.

A unique easy to use and memorable website www.earthhoppers.com will be an internationally recognised 'virtual bible' for travellers and along the way your business shall hopefully prosper with the gateway of publicity generated by 'OUR EARTH'S GREAT RACE'.

Be sure your business is obviously a connection to tourism and travel - if any sites are found to have nothing to do with this industry they shall be removed with no refund given and the spaces resold. However when you think about it, there isn't much that's not connected somehow to the tourism and travel industry - bookstores and newsagents can be, because who doesn't need a map, good reading material or a phone card when they travel? And 'food', everybody needs to eat, so any grocery store or takeaway etc. can advertise and you don't even necessarily have to have a business website for your business logo, text, or image. Because the user of www.earthhoppers.com can simply hover the cursor over your business text, image, or logo on your country's map (on ocean or earth) and a small description of your business will pop up. (Strictly no offensive logos, text, or illicit sites. Any sites or links found with this content shall be removed from the map with no refund and the space shall be resold).

All countries have the same amount of pixels for sale (one million - sold in blocks of 100 - minimum 100) and begin 'OUR EARTH'S GREAT RACE' at the same time relevant to time zones (no flashing or animated logos, images or text).

For the initial 'OUR EARTH'S GREAT RACE' and to make advertising fair for all countries, the same amount of news briefs will be sent to major networks at the same time by an outsourced PR firm. How these briefs are relayed or transferred to the public for the duration of 'OUR EARTH'S GREAT RACE' is totally up to that media outlet. How 'OUR EARTH'S GREAT RACE' is advertised per country thereafter is no responsibility of EarthHoppers.com Pty Ltd. If any country's media should choose to exploit and/or promote 'OUR EARTH'S GREAT RACE' no responsibility will be taken by EarthHoppers.com Pty Ltd. EarthHoppers.com administration will, throughout the course of 'OUR EARTH'S GREAT RACE' use all necessary avenues to promote www.earthhoppers.com website world wide.

During and after 'OUR EARTH'S GREAT RACE', earthhoppers.com homepage shall include a 'tell a friend' feature. This will be an important feature in order to keep the advertising trend 'hopping' along, as well as relying on word of mouth. Car stickers with EarthHoppers.com trademark logo will be for sale for $5 (AUD) each, this price includes gst for Australian advertisers as well as postage world wide. These are available on request in advertiser check out.

As soon as the first map is completed (ocean and earth) and regardless of the content of the remaining maps, and as of that time, 10% of each map's profit shall be given to that country's respective and reputed children's charity. If after 12 months no country has filled all pixel advertising spaces on their respective maps, one country with the most filled shall be the winner and, as of that point, 10% of all countries profits shall be given to each respective children's charities.

Although 'OUR EARTH'S GREAT RACE' will have concluded after 12 months, or alternately when the first country's pixel map has filled and won, advertising pixels shall remain for sale.

Advertisers cannot resell their pixels. The only removal of logos, texts, or images is if the logos, texts or images are connected to illicit sites. Or, if the site is found to have absolutely no relevance to tourism and travel. Or, if the particular business no longer exists and/or fails to renew their advertising after two years and mostly this advice will be directed from the advertiser. Or, if the advertiser chooses to renew advertising after two years then the advertiser may remove their text, image or logo and replace it with an updated version in the same amount of pixel spaces, this is totally up to the advertiser.

After 'OUR EARTH'S GREAT RACE' and for any country, if advertising for any country passes their allocated million pixel page and the need is warranted, pixel page 2 shall automatically follow.

Please note: not only will your business be accessed worldwide, but even after 'OUR EARTH'S GREAT RACE', any new or renewed advertising on www.earthhoppers.com per annum will continue to attract 10% of each respective country's profits for each country's reputed children's charities.

'ORIGINAL PURCHASE' advertisers please note: the 'only fee' payable to this website if proceeding with www.earthhoppers.com will be the purchase of pixel spaces as advertised on this site. A renewal fee every two years for the same amount will be 'optional' as asked in the secure advertiser page.

With the ORIGINAL PURCHASE' method EarthHoppers.com Pty Ltd does 'not' solicit any commission from sales linked to your or any business website before, during, or after advertising on www.earthhoppers.com .

As long as www.earthhoppers.com remains a workable and viable service, this website shall remain the ultimate 'world at your fingertips' guide for world travellers by taking 'pixels to new places'.

EarthHoppers.com Pty Ltd administration wish to thank you for your support, and as we are nearly all aware, the world has varying degrees of poverty and power. We have the 'power' to reduce poverty. Every space sold for tourism advertising is another step toward helping children overcome hunger, abuse and homelessness, aiding to make a few of life's basic needs, a reality. It is our intention to help multitudes of children from all countries and facets of life, though, if www.earthhoppers.com should only manage to help one child along life's path, then our efforts have been worth every step.

Sincere thanks from,

Sue and Sandy
