Banner Ads in general
What are banner ads?
Banner ads are internet adverts that try
and get website users to your website by
enticing them to click on the banner. The
user is then taken to your site by an invisible
link behind the banner. They are often
placed on websites that attract your kind
of customers. Websites often swap banners
with each other to trade traffic and customers.
Are they effective?
It is proven that banner
advertising is an integral part of any
online advertising campaign. But banners
have to work hard because they are often
like the ads in a newspaper or magazine.
If they're not done
properly, they get ignored. Their great
advantage over paper adverts is that they
are alive and linked to your website. Flying
Flea has years of experience in grabbing
viewers' attention
and we have a feel for what makes them
look, want and click.
How do they work?
Banners are static images glued together and animated like the frames in a film.
They are usually in an animated file format
called GIF. The banner is then given to a banner
network (or swapped with someone) to be displayed.
The network puts a bit of code behind your
banner as a link, for example:
<a href="http://www.yourwebsite.com"><img src="yourbanner.gif" width="468" height="60" border="0"></a>
The network
puts your banner into banner spaces reserved
on other suitable websites and sends anyone
who clicks on your banner straight back
to your website. We can code your banners
for you if necessary. Why are there different sizes and what
are they?
There are many different
sizes to suit many the different shapes and
sizes of spaces reserved for displaying banners
on websites. There are lots of industry standard
sizes that many websites use. Click

How do I find free banner swapping
networks and how do they work?
There
are many thousands of free banner networks
that will display your banner for free.
We can send you a list with your banner.
All you have to do is send them your
banner. They will then ask you put a bit
a code into one of your webpages. The principle
is that they will display your banner
somewhere else in exchange for your displaying
banners they send to you.
How long does
Flying Flea take to design my banner?
Because
we have a network
around the globe, we can take advantage
of the time difference. It means that a
banner takes our team roughly a day to
design if:
- The payment has been cleared
- We have got a clear brief on what
you would like
|
What format does my banner come in?
Your
banner will come in GIF format and can be viewed
in any internet browser. All our work is
checked for speed and performance on a number
of different platforms to make sure that you
have the minimum of technical problems.
How do I get my banner?
We send them to you
by enclosing them in an e-mail. It is by
far the easiest and preferred method of delivery
by our clients.
Do you design other banner
formats like Flash, html etc?
Yes we do.
In fact, there are very few things we can't
do. We and our partners and associates execute
work from the simplest displays to the most
sophisticated campaigns with full animation
and real-time data-mining. Some of our senior
designers started way back when computers
had push-pad keyboards and monochrome monitors,
and we still stay abreast of the latest industry
techniques today. Please feel free to contact
us - we'll
do the rest.
Who
owns the copyright?
Yes, we design the banners, they become your
property and copyright, and you are free
to use them however you like.
