How many people on this site actuall click the banners up the top?
Some of them look great, but I've never thought about clicking on one.
Do they actuall generate a high click rate?

Not being funny, but that figure is a bit tragic. Is it really worth having? No wonder loads of internet sites are closing. Are they all that low?
People may not click on them as they may think it takes them away from the page they are looking at. You may get more clicks if the link opens in a new window. Or if it's possible, when the link is clicked, a little dialogue box could pop up asking if the person wanted the link opened in the existing window, or a new one.

Perhaps the banners are too informative, with most you know whats being sold..or what the ad links to before you click it. Therefore you dont, unless you want to by that product.
Maybe thats why the click rate is so low.
The exception is probably ads like the getdotted.com advert , people wouldnt know that that was associated with SR unless they are a member.
Why not try a banner without as much info to see what happens to the click rate??

Tony, Darkus never told me if that was a good click rate! My brother says its an excellent click rate for a banner??
Is it? Or is it not?
Also, I have done about another 15 of them, which are much better than any others I have done? Does SR want them?
Thanks

I'll give you one example:
er-no's GBA banner (with the hands) achieved 0.77% click through over its life. i.e. one in about 125 viewers clicked on it.
I wonder - do people think they lead off the site? Some banners go off-site, but most don't. Do people realise they are mainly for internal avertising on this site?
