Trek info = discussions, opinions, questions, advice on topics related to hiking, teahouse trekking and climbing in your wonderful country. And above all, it has to be completely without monetary obejctives.

Advertising = attempts to sell services or goods with the sole object of making money.

Good advertising = make yourself a good reputation as a trekking guide (by deeds, not words) and let your customers do the work of advertising for you.

Bad advertising = be an annoying flea in someones soup. F.x call them at home, fill up their mail boxes with spam mail, brag about yourself, fill this post with your ads, etc etc.

If there is something missing in my little dictionary, please fill in the gaps.
