What to ask us:
How often is my banner displayed? Our pages
give you two displays for the price of one. A single
"impression" shows your banner at the
top and bottom of each page.
Does my banner come fully loaded? Alternate
text is a must for browsers that don't view
images. People will see your message, and you don't even pay
for the impression. Plus we add a custom text link with your
banner, giving you more screen real estate.
Is my paid banner shown on error pages? This
wasteland is not somewhere you want to be. We put banners on
good pages like the end of a story. People are ready to leave,
and are more receptive to your banner.
How often will an average visitor see my
banner? In this case, the fewer times, the better. No more
than one ad per visitor, which ensures that your message will
not be oversaturated.
How flashy is the page? Does my banner seems less
prominent among other blinking ads? Our pages are clean,
and offer few distractions from the visual impact of your
creative element.
Are the statistics inflated? Some websites
count every log entry as a "hit" including every
image on the page. We record this page as one hit, not 18
(count images) so you know the real statistics:

What to ask yourself:
Is
my creative good? Art that brands your product draws
no mouse clicks. If you WANT them to click, you must
ASK them to click. We will evaluate your ads and add
clicky features, on your request.
What
is my budget? Will targeted Yahoo! ads work better?
If you have the money, such ads may be worthwhile. They get
results, and charge accordingly. $65CPM
for a narrow target audience sounds expensive, but sometimes
it's the result that counts. Our ads are cheaper: $10CPM (per thousand).
Will
people who read this website use my product? Not if you
sell bibles, but if you sell insurance, fireworks, or
books, this is a great place to buy. Think about the
audience. View our demographics (high on
education, income, and tech geeks) or ask for a customized
survey.
Banner Advertising is a good buy compared to
the expense of newspapers, magazines, and radio. Those cost
$400 per day for one tiny print ad, $$$ for a minute of
airtime, and the Yellow Pages are astronomical!
Buy a banner instead.
