When referring to any Linku2 websites there are 2 terms to keep in mind –
Backend – where all the site work is complete and actions taken and managed by the Licensee, Managers and any contractors
Frontend – What a site visitor (member of the public) sees when looking at the site online
For the purposes of division for our Linku2 sites keyword sites are divided into -
Regions
Districts
We have based our Regions and Districts as follows –
From the Frontend user interface from which site visitors view the site – There are 16 Regions
From the Backend site management – The above 16 Regions are further sub-divided into 27 Regions (eg Auckland becomes 2 Regions being North Auckland and South Auckland).
Regions both from the frontend and backend are further sub-divided into 64 Districts, eg
Auckland in the frontend has 8 Districts being -
Rodney, Hibiscus Coast, North Shore, West Auckland, Auckland Central, Hauraki Gulf Islands, East Auckland and South Auckland.
Auckland in the backend still has 8 Districts but is sub-divided into -
North Auckland: Rodney, Hibiscus Coast, North Shore and West Auckland; and
South Auckland: Auckland Central, Hauraki Gulf Islands, East Auckland and South Auckland)
The reasons for the greater number of Regions in the backend site management from 16 to 27 are –
To allow for more targeted advertising for clients
To make advertising more relevant for the end user (eg they don’t want a North Shore holiday programme if they live in Papakura!)
To allow for greater income for Licensee
To ensure a Region isn’t too large an area for a Regional Manager to cover
School holidays promote two types of activities -
School holiday programmes, eg sKids April holiday programmes, National Youth Theatre holiday workshops
Generic family activities which run all year, eg Snowplanet, Chipmunks, minigolf, etc
In New Zealand there are 4 x school holiday periods over a year consisting usually of -
Linku2 Regions are further divided into Districts, again closely based around the New Zealand government geographical Districts. There are a total of 64 Districts.
Therefore, the structure of Linku2 School Holidays is as follows -
