I would have to agree with this in every way.

In addition to this its usually useful to pay a web hosting forum to advertise your banners and what not. Usually it does not break your bank account to bad for start up hosts.

What banners do is it might not give you instant success and maybe even very little clicks on it. However when your banner is constantly up it put your business in the back of their head and later on down the road they will check it out and hopefully buy your product.

And for the people just getting started; would you happen to know any good outsourced internet marketing firms to recommend to the starter companys?
