Recommendations for Banners

  • Did you know that you can get a better return on investment with simple banners? Our experience shows that static banners (in JPEG and PNG) have a better click-through rate than Flash banners. Given the profile of our visitors, they are more receptive to informative advertisement (nice pictures, simple texts) than to a animated ad.
