I’ve done a lot of banner advertising, and there are some very simple ways to increase your click through rate and the success of your banners.
I’ve actually taken a bunch of banners and re-worked them to show what I would do to improve their effectiveness. The actual critiques start at the 2-minute mark:
In the above examples I’m dealing with some very small banners, 234×60 pixels, which is the size allowed in signature files on the Warrior Forum, but the same ideas and techniques apply to all other banners as well.
If you have any questions or comments about it, let me know.

Hey Tim, it was good meeting you at Ad:Tech in San Francisco the other day! I really love this video! Being a web usability consultant myself, I can really appreciate the value of the simple, but very effective techniques you’re demonstrating here. These are great methods for combating banner blindness. By the way, here’s a few pics from the party the other night(you’re in one of them):
