When your website is hosted free at TrainWeb, you also get to make your own banner and have your website advertised throughout the TrainWeb community! Since thousands of pages are visited at TrainWeb each day, these clickable banners will drive MANY new visitors to your own website! Banners are 200 x 40 pixels and limited to 3000 bytes to provide fast loading.
If you do not know how to create a banner for your website, then set your web browser to: www.crecon.com/banners.html. You can create and download a banner right from that website! Just be sure to set the banner size to 200 x 40 pixels and keep it simple. If you make your banner too fancy, it will exceed our 3000 byte size limit. We restrict the banner size to 3000 bytes so that the speed at which pages load from the TrainWeb server are not slowed by the size of the banners.

Once you have created your banner, either click here to e-mail it to steve@trainweb.com or post the banner to your own web site and send the URL of the banner to steve@trainweb.com. Make sure that you mention the URL of your website and youru name in your e-mail. Thanks!
Once you send us your banner, it could take up to 2 weeks for us to get it posted. We will send you an e-mail to let you know when it has been posted. Your banner will appear in "ad rotation". That means that your banner will take its turn with other banners at TrainWeb, but will appear on almost all pages throughout TrainWeb as well as on almost all of the main pages of the other websites hosted free on the TrainWeb server. As you wander from page to page at TrainWeb, you will notice that the banners at the top of the page change. Even when you reload the page you are on or re-visit a page you have already seen, you will notice that you get different banners each time! Each banner gets to take its turn. (Note: Banners might not change if you hit the "BACK" function of your web browser since that just reloads a web page directly out of your browser's cache memory.) When a visitor clicks on your banner, they are sent to your website.
