Hey I recently bought a banner at the bottom of this page. When i first made a banner, it was alright, looking just like the rest of them. When I noticed I was getting 0 clicks, i decided I should think outside the box. I made very absract banner in photoshop and now it's at the bottom of this page. Please tell me what you think of it and/o comments/suggestions.

IMO, it doesn't seem very effective b/c it only has the name of the business. You may want to include a price or special offerings or something that makes you stand out.

Any idea how to make an animated GIF/JPG ?

As far as I know, JPG image formats cannot be animated, however if you have Photoshop you should have ImageReady, which you can use to make animated gifs.

Alright thanks, Ill try it and give you some feedback...

Im trying to figure out this image ready thing, but as i was doing that, I noticed my clicks went up considerably. Now we have 4 clicks instead 0f 0. interesting...

Yes, I did see it and I didn't think it was very well thought out. That is just me, you should maybe get someone else to make the banner.

We got two of our banners done by one of our employees and they look GREAT! If you want me to show you, just ask... maybe you'll get ideas from them.

its great .. love it

dubs' banner has run out of impressions long ago...

Which banner is he talking about?

The one that dubs had in rotation on this forum at the time of his post.
The banner hasn't been rotating for a while, and it certainly wasn't there yesterday when mydarnhost said that he loved it.
I guess the question is for mydarnhost - as in what did he see exactly?

This thread makes me laugh.

Until reading this post, I didn't know we had advertisment space on the bottom of this forum...oops!
