The Rowing Banner Exchange

Now there is a free banner exchange programme exclusively for rowing related sites. For those not familiar with banner exchanges, it is a mechanism where you display banners of other exchange members on your site, in return your banner is similarly displayed on other member's sites. The more times you display other members banners, the more your banner will be displayed. With a common theme this allows visitors to navigate between rowing related sites.

What You Need

In order to join the banner exchange you will need a banner for your site that 468 pixels wide and 60 pixels high. The banner must be no more that 10K bytes in size. An example is shown below

If you do not have a banner nor software to create one, you can use on of the following web sites to create your own free banner online.

The banner must be placed on your web server and, your ISP must therefore support remote display of the images (i.e. your graphic on some one else's web page). Many free ISPs do not allow remote display of images (for example Xoom substitute a xoom logo in place of your banner). You can check if you banner will be displayed successfully during the registration process and edit the URL to a new location if needed.

How to Join
