Every business web site should have a standard-size (468x60) banner ad as their very own "Billboard on the Information Super-Highway"!
Hopefully, the above articles and quotes will provide some food for thought to all those people who are STILL thinking that the banner ad is dead. Sure, we've all probably seen it written someplace before, but that doesn't mean it is true. Here's something that is clearly true - nobody likes annoying pop-up ads shoved in their face.
Some online ad agencies that still sell pop-ups (despite wide use of pop-up blockers) argue semantics on whether rich-media interstitial or newfangled superstitial ads are actually pop-ups. To most people, ads that pop up are pop-ups, regardless if they come in on top, under or sideways. (ANY ads covering up content are just as bad!)
Sadly, these intrusive high-tech ads are probably only going to get worse and become even more commonplace. Predictably, the backlash will keep on growing too. Some companies evidently have to learn the hard way. The Carolina Banner Exchange was literally founded to help in this cause. Although a small effort comparatively, maybe it will reinforce the saying "Nothing could be finer than to live in Carolina"? Or should it be "Nothing could be finer than to surf in Carolina on the internet"?
If you own a company in the Carolinas and are considering any unpleasant web advertising campaign, DON'T do it! Just Say NO! Leave the dark side and TRY US!
NOTE: Carolina Banner Exchange is ONLY for web sites in North or South Carolina! If your site is based elsewhere in The USA, join The American Banner Exchange NOW! If your site is based OUTSIDE of The USA, we will suggest The Worldwide Banner Exchange and/or the new Leaderboard Banner Exchange for the largest size banner ad standard (728x90) ONLY! These last 2 services are still under construction.
