For some time, the work to counter junk mail (so-called SPAM) has been at the top
on our priority list.
Posting your e-mail address online is almost impossible today if you want to avoid spam. There are hundreds of robots online that only look for specific email addresses. We have therefore chosen to hide the "@" sign in our presentations in order to reduce spam from dishonest actors on the Internet.
November 2007
In collaboration with Nya Åland, we now show first-class news from Åland. The news comes from one of Åland's largest media houses and is updated continuously. We see this as a big step in the right direction for the portal's development and warmly welcome New Åland to Åland Online!
February 2007
A new map function has been implemented with the option of being able to place your company in the right place on Åland. It is shown in its basic version as a map, but you can, if you want, also see a hybrid between map and satellite image - A so-called "hybrid image".
We have received a number of e-mails in which you, business owners and visitors, point out that certain information (place names) is in Finnish. We are of course sorry for that and are working to change this, but we still see that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.
NOTE!
The map service is of course free of charge!

The search results from searches on the portal will be limited in the free version to only display company names and symbols for address, phone number and website, etc.If you click on the company name, the presentation and contact details will of course be displayed!
For the companies that are part of our plus package, the change will make these companies appear more clearly in searches on the portal.We will offer a new service in the autumn! E-mail forwarding to Your e-mail box!
You will be able to order an address like ditt.foretag@aland.se!
