Naper.Com is sponsored by NetSource Communications, an Internet Service Provider located in Naperville, and a number of other local businesses. We recognize the importance for local businesses and residents to have a place on the Internet to share in their local community. We hope this site will provide the right community atmosphere for Naperville and the surrounding areas on the Internet. We are in it for the long run and we provide this free of charge to you.

While this site is largely donated, we will cover some expenses for maintaining the site with advertising. Of course, how you participate is completely up to you. However, we have designed the site to provide a benefit for those who wish to take advantage of the advertising opportunities.

The benefits.

Naper.Com gets thousands of visitors every month! And that was the old site before we added the improvements. We plan to get tens of thousands of visitors each month. We believe that this is more visitors than any other local web site that offers publicity for your company. As we measure web traffic to this site, we plan to publish the growth trend in visitors on this page. We believe that Naper.Com is the best way for a local company to get noticed on the Internet.

And best of all, most of it is absolutely free!

There are lots of ways to participate on Naper.Com.

First, here is how you can participate for free.

1. Any business can place a free directory listing with free banner ad. These banner ads will pop up on any inside page completely randomly. All free listings are weighted equally so your banner has the same chance as any other of being seen by a web visitor. The few hundred listings from the old Naper.Com are still available.
2. Put your products up for sale or just for viewing. You get five products for free so put in your most popular selling items. Visitors can purchase your products on-line and we send you the order. Products are organized by your company name so it is easy for visitors to find your products.
3. Use the classified section to sell whatever you want. Of course, visitors can't buy them on-line but there are no limits to the number of entries you can have. Use pictures to make your point!
4. If you have a special community link, you can post it here for free. We will not honor all requests, however, since we want this page to be non-commercial in nature. Click the link above and see the community links page.
5. If you want to publicize an upcoming event, put it here for free. This is an easy way for people to find out about an event any time of day.
6. Get free email boxes at yourname@naperpost.com. Get as many as you like!
7. If you have a community oriented topic or press release, we might post it as an article on the front page if we find it news worthy. Just write an article and email it to us. We will let you know if and when we plan to post it.
8. Finally, if you contribute resources or otherwise help out with Naper.Com, then you will get a sponsors listing on the sponsors page. See the current list of sponsors by clicking the link above.

You can see that, without spending a penny, there are lots of ways to get attention for your company, organization, or event!

Extra advantages for donating.

Since the sponsors are donating their resources and time, your donations are used primarily to offset the costs of keeping the Naper.Com site fresh and alive. But, we don't expect charity. You will get some real benefits from contributing. There are three extra benefits when you donate and it couldn't be simpler.

1. Your banner ads will display on the front page. There is a hard limit on the number of front page banners so there may be a waiting list. $99 per month
2. Your shopping list will display on the front page and you can put in up to 50 products. $99 per year
3. Link from your web site to the Naper.Com shopping area to only have your products displayed. $99 per year

To donate you will need to contact us via email (see the contacts link above) and we will return your message within 1 working day.
