• How does this work?
• I entered my event, but it didn't show up on the calendar.
• What happened to the website I entered?
• How long will it take my event to show up on the calendar?
• Do I have to place a reciprocal link to ridetexas.com on my event website?
• My event is sponsored by another motorcycle magazine or website, can I list it here?
• I have a great for-profit event. Can I use RT to promote my event free of charge?
• Will you send someone to do an article about my event?
We'll publish your non-profit, charity, motorcycle club/association event at no charge. Commercial events and those benefiting business associations will be asked to pay a small listing fee. Here are the steps:
a. SUBMIT: Complete the form and click submit. You'll either get a confirmation screen or an error will be flagged on the form.
b. VERIFY E-MAIL: We will send a VERIFICATION e-mail to the address you entered for "VERIFICATION e-mail address" on the form. YOU MUST CLICK THE LINK IN THE VERIFICATION E-MAIL OR YOUR EVENT WILL NOT BE ADDED TO THE CALENDAR no matter how many times you submit the event.
c. REVIEW: Once you click on the VERIFICATION e-mail link, we will review the event posting and publish it to the calendar.
a.NON-WORKING VERIFICATION E-MAIL ADDRESS: Please check your spam box and see if the verification e-mail is there. If not, please make sure you have a working VERFICATION e-mail address and re-submit the event. YOU MUST CLICK THE LINK IN THE VERIFICATION E-MAIL OR YOUR EVENT WILL NOT BE ADDED TO THE CALENDAR.
b. FOR-PROFIT EVENT: The calendar listings are free for club, charity, and non-profit events, For-profit events can be listed in the calendar for a $50 listing fee. This is not time limited. So it's $50 whether you enter the event 6 months before or 2 weeks before. It makes sense to event as early as possible for maximum exposure. This is the best promotional value out there for event organizers.
c. CURRENT SPONSOR means your firm has a current, active relationship with RT.
The most common error in event calendar submissions is an invalid website link. The bad website is automatically stripped out, but the phone number and e-mail contact information will give readers a way to get in touch. The second most common problem is when there's nothing about the event on the website entered. In that case, the link will be stripped out as well. The phone number and e-mail contact information will give readers a way to get in touch.
You should receive your VERIFICATION e-mail within 24 hours. Once you confirm the e-mail we will review the event and will publish it online usually within 24 hours (if it meets the criteria). YOU MUST CLICK THE LINK IN THE VERIFICATION E-MAIL OR YOUR EVENT WILL NOT BE ADDED TO THE CALENDAR.
No, but isn't it the right thing to do, trade links with someone who links to your information? It's all about karma.
Please contact your event sponsor for their promotional plans.
For-profit events, or those promoting a business, should contact advertising for retail listing rates. Current advertisers with RT (current accounts in good standing) are entitled to list their events as a bonus for being sponsors and supporters of Texas motorcycling via RT.
Sorry, but we can't. Your event listed on ridetexas.com calendar is in the most visible, best read motorcycling resource about Texas. That has to be a good thing.
