LandyOnline is a website dealing with Land Rovers in Southern Africa and Africa. LandyOnline was formed through the amalgamation of three websites Brian's Africa Travel Guide, Alan's Land Rover Page and the GMC conversion pages. The world wide web became available in South Africa in 1994, soon after which Brian was one of the first to publish a South African Land Rover website in 1996. Brian also initiated the first few pages of the LROC SA website, which Alan then took over in 1998 and turned it into the most visited unofficial Land Rover website in Africa. The first few years were spent becoming familiar with not only web site design, hosting and publishing but also with Land Rovers and their owners and users on the internet.

Although 4 years does not seem like a long time, in the rapidly changing world of the internet it is almost an eternity. Getting the early exposure on the internet has been vital to the success of LandyOnline through the establishment of personal, business and website connections throughout the world wide Land Rover internet community.

From the start the response has been excellent with many e-mail compliments, comments and queries being received. Currently an average of 3 e-mail queries are handled daily. Information obtained from the queries is fed back into the site to benefit visitors.

LandyOnline has grown to become one of the most popular Land Rover resource sites on the internet. We have had to upgrade our hosting services to deal with the increased traffic. To supplement the running costs of the site we recently introduced GoogleAds successfully as well as paid for advertising and a paid classifieds service Landy Picture Ads. The site consistently ranks in the top 10 of the major search engines and is a favorite for return visitors..
