Tips On Effective Banner Advertisements - Success Replication

By Ramzey Shawar


If you have ever clicked on a banner advertisement, you might want to consider why you did that. Were you attracted by the colors that you saw, or perhaps it was an animated gif that caught your attention as you were surfing on a website. More than likely, the reason that you clicked was that it pertained to the content that you are reading, or if it was re-targeted traffic, it could be an advertisement for something that you saw before. Regardless of why the banner ad popped up, the reason that you clicked was because of a strategy called ebb and flow. Let's look at what this strategy entails, and how you can apply this to your business starting today.



When you are designing banners, you may have seen some of the newer ones that pop out from the side. You may have been reading an article for quite some time, before they miraculously appeared. Perhaps the banners were at the top of the page, or a pop-up was displayed with a large rectangle 336 x 280 ad showing you something to buy. And if you return to the page at a later time, the advertisements are seldomly the same.

If they are, you will probably not click on them, due to something called banner blindness. Therefore, to avoid banner blindness from occurring, you will want to use the ebb and flow banner strategy.

By ebb and flow, we are referencing how you should rotate your banner ads. You should make several different kinds, and track their performance. Since people are more likely to click on an ad they have never seen before, by making several representing the same product or service you are trying to sell, you can benefit from creating a multitude of different ones, causing people to click through more and more.

The benefit of using banners is that you can become as creative as possible, utilizing even basic marketing skills to generate sizable proceeds from your efforts. Hopefully you will use animated banners and text banners to successfully create a profitable business online, or take an existing business to an even higher level.
