What is Usenet

Usenet came into existence when only Unix was used to exchange and transfer information on the Internet. Its use was limited to universities, local bodies, educational institutions, etc. Usenet is equivalent to news groups, discussion boards, information exchange ideas, subject groups, etc. where some people get together to discuss a common subject or a problem.

You need to become a part of a group or form a group for the purpose of putting your advertisement. Usenet generally encourages informative alerts or notices which are non profit to be put on their board. However, where the discussions are strictly of non-profit nature you are not allowed to post more than one each week, that too not very flashy.

You can use your advertisement simply worded on Usenet. Though there are many Usenet users who consider advertising on this media violation of the usefulness of this media, there have been special arrangements made for people meaning to advertise for commercial purpose on Usenet.
