Back when internet business started booming, banner exchanges
was a popular way to advertise
a website. An online advertising
banner is generally placed
on a website that is relevant
to yours for the purpose of
advertising your website and
driving traffic to your website.
Banner advertising has declined
in popularity and has, in
many cases, been replaced
with link exchanges rather
than banner exchanges. However,
publishing an online advertising
banner on websites that still
use online advertising banners
either through exchanges or
for paid advertising is still
an effective method of internet
marketing. Many companies
that have affiliates marketing
their products and services
provide affiliates with an
online advertising banner
to be placed on their website
or in their newsletters and
other publications for the
purpose of promoting their
products and services and
directing traffic to the parent
website through an affiliate
link. At any rate, advertising
through a paid or exchanged
online advertising banner
is an internet marketing technique
that is still alive and well
although the use of on online
advertising banner has declined
in popularity. Because of
the diminished popularity
of online advertising banner
campaigns, websites that sell
online advertising banner
space are generally very inexpensive
resources for paid advertising
and sometimes placement of
an online advertising banner
can even be free. Most sites
that engage in online advertising
banner placement for a fee
offer either a pay-per-impression
option or a pay-per-click
option. Pay-per-impression
is the most common program
for placing an online advertising
banner, but it is also pretty
risky because with such programs
you are paying for exposure
to your online advertising
banner rather than your fees
being tied to the results
it produces. Pay-per-click
programs that use an online
advertising banner are much
more reasonable and cost effective
than pay-per-impression services.
With a pay-per-click program,
you only pay for click- throughs
to your website that result
from clicks on your online
advertising banner. When participating
in a pay-per-click online
advertising banner program,
you are more likely to reap
benefits from your advertising
dollars. To get free exposure
from an online advertising
banner, it is best to join
a banner exchange network,
or to contact relevant websites
yourself and ask them to exchange
online advertising banner
ads with you. In effect, you
display their online advertising
banner and they display yours,
so it is a win-win situation
in that you each get free
advertising space. In regard
to the design of an online
advertising banner, it needs
to be produced using sound
graphic techniques so that
the banner ad loads quickly.
A slow loading online advertising
banner simply will not produce
results because internet users
do not have the patience to
wait for graphics to load.
The information contained
in an online advertising banner
has to be pretty concise because
of the size limitations that
are generally associated with
an online advertising banner.
While being brief and to the
point is necessary when creating
the copy for an online advertising
banner, the information provided
on the banner has to attract
attention, provoke internet
and persuade the viewer of
the online advertising to
banner to take action - to
click on the online advertising
banner so they will be directed
to your website. A well designed
online advertising banner
will be effective if it loads
quickly, captivates attention
and results in click- throughs.
To meet the criteria for effectiveness,
both design and copywriting
issues must be considered,
so it may be beneficial to
work with both a graphic designer
and a professional copywriter
to produce an effective online
advertising banner. It is
also vital that the online
advertising banner be placed
where it will be viewed by
your target audience, so relevance
of the websites on which your
online advertising is placed
is of utmost importance. Copyright
