Afterword: Advertising on the Internet
It should be noted that there are many ways to advertise on the Internet that don't involve Usenet at all.
Usenet, you see, is NOT the same thing as the Internet. Usenet is transmitted via the Internet, but is also transmitted via other means (see "What is Usenet" in news.announce.newusers for more information). The Internet also includes services like ftp, telnet, gopher, and the World Wide Web.
A World Wide Web page allows you to put up graphics, text, and sound in an interactive hypertext format that's remarkably easy to set up and use. Many thousands of companies and individuals and organizations have put up World Wide Web pages that can be viewed by anyone around the world with a Web browser such as Mosaic or Netscape.
Since the only people who see a Web page are people who *choose* to see it, and since the person who pays for the storage space necessary to hold the Web page is the person or business or organization who put it up and designed it, a Web page is a *much* better way than advertising on Usenet to put your company's information up on the Internet.
If you need help getting going, ask the people who run your site for help on getting started; usually, all you really need to do is go buy a book on basic HTML (Hyper-Text Markup Language) design and/or scout out the newsgroup comp.infosystems.www.authoring.html. It's really not that hard to set up a Web page, and it's much, much, much more neighborly to put your advertising message on a Web page than to barrage the readers of Usenet.
