Dimension of banner: There are some standard sizes for banner ads. You must follow these while creating the banner. The dimension is important when you want to run your web banner ad in different websites for affiliate marketing. The bigger size banners get more attention and hence more clicks than the smaller ones.
Text Content: The phrases used in a banner must be well thought of. It must not only speak for the product but also create some curiosity in the mind of the viewer. Often marketers use promotional offers or special events as the subject for the content. There should be a proper ‘call to action’ phrase in any professional banner. It is action statement that instructs the viewer to make a ‘click’. It can be something like ‘click here’, ‘join now’, ‘avail this limited period order’, etc.
Animation: The main idea of animation is to increase the visibility of the web banner and get the click. The text in different frames also creates a curiosity and makes the viewer pause to read it completely. Animated banner ads get better clicks than static ads.
If you follow the above ground rules, you can come up with real professional web banners which will get you good traffic.
