Are banners a totally outdated marketing tool or still necessary? - GoFuckYourself.com

xNetworx · 08-29-2012, 10:02 AM

Does anybody still look for banners when you join an aff program or do you just hit up a rep if you need some created?

Wizzo · 08-29-2012, 10:03 AM

I would always at least have a few of the common sizes.

Jey p · 08-29-2012, 10:07 AM

still necessary

BIGTYMER · 08-29-2012, 10:10 AM

My tracking shows I still generate sales from them. Other methods do better but they still work.

DamianJ · 08-29-2012, 10:31 AM

See sig...

I can come up with ideas for banners that actually work.

Imagine that!

spazlabz · 08-29-2012, 11:47 AM

very useful tools if used right

the Shemp · 08-29-2012, 11:59 AM

especially in gif format

MrCain · 08-29-2012, 03:58 PM

I design my own because the banners most programs supply look like shit.

edgeprod · 08-29-2012, 04:00 PM

LOL, what? I get tons of clicks on my banners.

spunky99 · 08-29-2012, 04:09 PM

nothing worse then having to ask for banners to be made, would just move on and find someone else to promote instead

anexsia · 08-29-2012, 04:30 PM

The flashing bright colored .gif ones convert the best

grzepa · 08-29-2012, 04:30 PM

banner are a nice addition to text links

Nicky · 08-29-2012, 06:02 PM

The standard ones should be there but being able to hit someone up to get custom ones is nice. Like you can do with me and ER ;)

Banners are effective

Barry-xlovecam · 08-29-2012, 06:29 PM

Display advertising is on the decline.

For affiliate programs they may be in demand but they are being replaced by more cutting edge products. Video overlays are just one of them.

Banners might be outdated, but they are not obsolete yet.

Jakez · 08-29-2012, 07:56 PM

Need to be more specific.. are sponsor provided banners utterly useless? Yes. Are banners in general useless? Not at all.

gimme-website · 08-29-2012, 10:43 PM

Banners still account for a significant proportion of my working hours...

No, I mean those roll over expanding banners that become videos. Mainstream has been getting very strong results with that kind of ad. It is cutting edge now but will lose its strong effects with more common use. In advertising, familiarity can either brand a product or receive less attention, thus effectiveness. In extreme cases it will breed contempt.

On the innerwebs, banners will be added to ad-blockers if served from an ad network ...

halfpint · 08-30-2012, 03:40 AM

u need to copy google with the fake search option if you are getting ppc Works well on mainsteam anyway

mineistaken · 08-30-2012, 04:11 AM

yes, but most banners from sponsors looks like they are very outdated.
Sponsors - update your banners, nobody want to use them if they look like they are from 1998
