1 - What Are Banners?
Banners are images
you see on web sites that advertise other web sites.
The standard
sizes include:
- 468 x 60 pixels
- Full Banner
- 234 x 60 pixels
- Half Banner
- 125 x 125 pixels
- Square Button
You should always
use the standard sizes when making your banners so you can use them with
your own advertising campaign.

2 - Tips For Excellent Banner Creation
Following are
some excellent ideas to keep in mind when creating your own banner.
- Make sure the
words "click here" appear to tell
your audience exactly what to do. Consider underlining the words to remind
the viewer of a hyperlink.
- Make sure you
target your banners
to your own particular audience. A banner about "books" will
pull less than a banner about "computer books" on a computer
site.
- Add animations
that enhance and don't detract.
- Use simple yet
compelling headlines to pull.
