Banner advertising forms the majority of advertising on the Web.
It is a powerful advertising medium that can be used for both brand
awareness and direct marketing campaigns.
An advertising banner is a graphic image on a web page that is linked to a
location chosen by the advertiser (e.g. the advertiser's web site).

How Banner Advertising Works On Oyster |
Displayed in Figure 1 below is an example of an advertising banner designed
for the Oyster Web Site. Just below and to the right of this banner are
width and height measurements for Oyster Web Site banners.

The above advertising banner has the following features:
-
When an Internet user clicks-on the banner they will be taken to a page on the
advertiser's web site or to another page on the Oyster web site designed for the
advertiser. The page the Internet user is taken to usually contains the full
advertising material that you want to present to your customers, such as a sales
brochure, product catalogue, special offer etc.
-
Research indicates that animated banners are more effective than
static banners, generating higher ad awareness, recall and click-through.
The banner in Figure 1 is an "Animated GIF" file. The banner image
is an animation created by combining multiple GIF image files
into a single file. The result is multiple images, displayed one after
another, that give the appearance of movement.
-
Advertising banners on the Oyster Web site appear in the upper
right-hand corner on nearly every page throughout the site.
Recently, extra banner space has been made available for several placements on
the Oyster Site. Each time a user visits a page on the Oyster web site they will see
a different banner, selected from the pool of advertising banners.
By rotating the banners in this way we make our web site advertising
more appealing to our customers.
-
When an user moves their mouse pointer over the banner a brief message
appears, usually instructing the user to click-on the banner for
more information.
-
When you place your advertising banner with Oyster, you will receive

When a banner is clicked-on we call this a "click-through". These are
standard terms used in the Internet advertising industry.
