Sponsors... you need larger banners. - GoFuckYourself.com

KrisKross · 05-16-2007, 10:12 PM

In these days of widescreens and the majority of surfers using 1024x768, a 468x60 banner no longer cuts it. That's a standard from the late 90s when 800x600 on a 15" monitor was the norm. Times have changed.

Wide banners are awesome. Love em. Embrace em. Please!

O'rlly ??

Not there yet is my understanding.

Ragging Rhino · 05-16-2007, 10:23 PM

I used to make lots of them when, I worked for LotzaDollars.
But, I agree. A lot of sponsers really need them.
They'd be surprised how many people would actually use them.

Sly · 05-16-2007, 10:34 PM

What size do you want?

Ragging Rhino · 05-16-2007, 10:41 PM

I made them at 750x150.

This week's hits to one of my blogs:

1024x768 8685 47.27%
1280x1024 5323 28.97%
800x600 1544 8.40%
1152x864 694 3.78%
1440x900 681 3.71%
Other 592 3.22%
1680x1050 395 2.15%
1400x1050 174 0.95%
1920x1200 145 0.79%
1600x1200 122 0.66%
640x480 18 0.10%
2048x1536 1 0.01%

Less than 9% are using 800x600 now. It's in third place, way behind even 1280x1024. These stats are pretty consistent throughout my sites.

With new computers coming with 19" LCD screens nowadays, no one runs at 800x600.

Corleone · 05-16-2007, 11:00 PM

we'll have them soon ;)

mailman · 05-16-2007, 11:01 PM

It's not so much an issue of the native monitor resolution.

Most surfers do not surf for porn FULL SCREEN. They have toolbars, instant messangers, etc taking up display space. The browser window might be minimized in size so that other icons in the background are accessable.

Just something to think about.

SxDx · 05-17-2007, 07:25 AM

Hundies and AdultPlayersClub is more than happy to create any custom banners for you that you need.

SkeetSkeet · 05-17-2007, 08:08 AM

728x90 is a nice size and we have them for all our sites ;) ! www.starlightbucks.com

kristin · 05-17-2007, 08:22 AM

www.YappoDollars.com

We have three standard sizes we create all banners/buttons for: 120x60, 624x80 and 728x90. If someone wants something different we can have it created that day.

We also have an assortment of odd, vertical and larger sizes.

Kevin Cunningham · 05-17-2007, 08:26 AM

Any size you'd like let me know and it's done.

cj_purve · 05-17-2007, 04:32 PM

I'll add a 750 wide & a 900 wide banner to my standard sets for clients from now on!

Its good to see a webmaster who actually makes their own pages still & thinks of such things!

Thanks, CJ

I just finished working on a new site and the hardest part was finding wide banners to use.

Toni · 05-18-2007, 12:26 AM

728x90 banners are the best

jayeff · 05-18-2007, 06:19 AM

And please stick to IMU standards: http://www.iab.net/standards/adunits.asp

Some sites/pages will be designed to promote specific sponsors, so they can be built around whatever the particular sponsor uses. Otherwise it can wreck a design to end up with extra white space in one direction or another. Equally it is frustrating to have to leave out someone's banners because they are just a few pixels too wide or deep.

My request would be for more 728x90 (IMU "Leaderboard") and 336x280 (IMU "Large Rectangle"). And for all the people popping up in these threads offering custom banners: if you are making them on request, why on earth not afterwards add them to your webmaster area so they are available for all?

Tom_PM · 05-18-2007, 06:28 AM

We have 720x90 for most sites at PimpRoll and Adult Elite.
