Networking works, it really does. That is why we have business networking, social networking and online communities sprouting from everywhere. There is one more networking you might be interested in, not just leaving a crap on someone’s page but a banner network. Did that offend you; catch you by your midriff demanding an answer? No, may be yes. Well, most people are not even aware of what banner networking is. Yet there are thousands of people who have been making money and benefits for their websites all this time.

Banner is the space on top of your website page or at the bottom, where you place your advertisements. Te advertisement is a simple single column strip that takes the users from your page to the one you wish to. All this comes under banner advertising and the networks that contribute in different ways for the same set of exercises are the banner networks.

A banner network is a community of people who are interested in sharing and selling of the banner space. The community members further share their ideas about how to make the best use of that space, which as is obvious is the most valuable on a website for an advertisers’ point of view. In a typical banner network you may find a person who wishes to exchange the banner space with you, meaning mutual advertising or directing the traffic from one another’s site.

If you have a website and didn’t know about banner networking, your next obvious question would be – let me guess! Would it work, no…where would I find them. Good guess and good question. There are a number of banner network communities you can find online. A community joined by a good number of people like you would be ideal. Avoid registering for communities having very few members. Your banner space is valuable and as long as you are not putting anything into it you are losing something.

How different is Online Banner Networking?

2008-02-01T02:37:00.001-08:00

All of you who have been wishing to promote your online business of late and are searching for different ways to do it, here is another very commonly used method of online networking - the Web Banners. Web Banners or Banner ads as they are commonly called are a form of advertising on the World Wide Web. These Banners are advertisements on the web pages that are meant to attract traffic to a website by linking them to the websites of the advertisers. It is a very effective and successfully practised way of increasing traffic to your websites.

The web banners can be a combination of graphics and texts used in such a manner so that they attract the users to click through them. Though the term Banner has been derived from the already established medium of banner advertising in any other media, the web banners differ slightly in the way they are displayed. A lot of technicality and research is required before placing a banner on any website. A misplaced advertisement or an oddly shaped banner will have no use apart from acquiring valuable space on a web page. Therefore the location of your Banner ads is a very crucial decision which needs utmost attention.

The question now arises, as to which is the most ideal place for putting your Banner ad. And the answer to this question is very simple. High traffic web pages are ideally the most effective spots for a banner ad. Another effective spot for your banner ad will be a page that compliments your service or products. Let’s take an easy example that will explain this technique of banner networking. Consider yourself to be a producer of a health drink which is a low calorie, energy booster and contains essential protein and vitamins. Now where do you think your Banner ads should be placed so that they are viewed by your targeted audience and they visit your website to learn more about it? The most probable destination for your banner advertisements will be a site that talks on health and fitness. And believe me, there are thousands of high traffic fitness sites these days that will readily exchange ads with yours in order to navigate traffic.

Yes, Traffic navigation or banner ad exchange groups also called Banner Networks are a rising trend in the banner networking sector. In such a case, the advertisers need not pay each other for the ads they are placing, instead they agree on placing ads on each other’s web pages. Now that you know about how Banner advertising works, there is one more essential thing to remember, the advertisers must keep a regular track on the performance of their ads on all the web pages.

Banner Advertisement v/s Other Advertising Methods

2008-01-28T22:17:00.000-08:00

When advertising hits hard the advertisements themselves make more sense than any brand. I still remember many popular advertisements of the yesteryears. And I surely won’t be the only one who likes good advertisements more than soap operas. Let us not distract from our primary concern – the banner advertisement.

The flashy advertisement strips that you see on the websites are banner advertisements. They usually appear at the top and bottom of the web page. These advertisements are very important because it is the first thing that you notice on a site. Though they appear as thin floating comic pieces or sometimes as painted region on your screen, but they are very effective. Website owners often sell that space and thereby earn some money.

Other than banner advertisements there are some other means by which you can promote or advertise on the Internet. The three known ones include e-mail Opt-in lists, ezine write-ups and pay per click method. The last one can be considered as both an advertising model as well as advertising method.

In the big fight banner advertisement comes as the winner. The advertisement, unlike Opt-in lists or pay per click contextual advertisement message, is more catchy, interactive and directed towards the user. It bears a resemblance with that of print advertisement and thus plays on the accepted psyche of the masses.

If you want to make it simple and fast, it is the banner advertisement. An e-mail Opt-in list takes some time, although you may shoot it instantaneously. In PPC, again there are some reservations regarding bidding the right price, the competition and other hiccups. The articles in the ezine are in no way amusing except for the content, which again will catch an audience member after prolonged study. On the other hand a nice ad on you website will immediately work upon the users thoughts. So, in the final contest again banner advertisements come up as winners.

Banner Advertisements are more beneficial:

Online Marketing is gaining momentum speedily, and is becoming a strong medium of advertising on the internet. Amongst the various advertising options like the emails, banners, text ads and even spam mails, I personally feel that the Banners are the most effective medium of advertising. I don’t say this because I have been commissioned to promote Banners, but to state a fact I am personally very attracted towards a good Banner.

I have come across many such web pages that publish excellently constructed Banners that are very inviting to the visitors. And that exactly is the main purpose of a banner, to attract the visitors and deport him into the advertiser’s webpage. Thus here what we conclude is that the core content of a banner is a very important part of its designing. The more catchy and explanatory a banner the better is its ability to attract visitors.

Let me state an example here that shall explain what I mean by a self explanatory- catchy banner tagline. While browsing the internet one day, I happen to come across a webpage that sported a banner with an caption which said, ‘Real Flowers…For Anyone, From Anyone To Anywhere.’ Yes this was a banner for florist site. Look at the simplicity and accuracy of their selection of words. It is self explanatory and shall interest anyone who has a love for flowers.

Another interesting thing that the Banners can do for an advertiser is create a brand for them. It is not necessary that every visitor on the webpage shall invariably click on the banner and land on the advertiser’s website, but a much more likable possibility is that a frequent visitor to the website, will register the banner ad in his mind and shall come back to the advertiser when he is actually looking for the service or products in offer.

Finally from my personal view, I feel the banner ads are to some extent responsible in making the web pages more likely, though many of you might disagree with me on this, but as I said it is my personal view, I truly find the banner ads quite interesting and an excellent medium of online advertising and branding.

Success of any banner ad campaign is measured by “Click through Rate” which is also referred to as “CTR”.
