RE: UKNM: Search Engines

[Sue McCarty]

Possibly - although there has to be a way they can click through to our site

as it could be as equally annoying for those that want to go through - I am

not totally in agreement that they are a complete waste of money, I do

however think the price will come down dramatically in the near future.

Banner ads are often just viewed as an irritant or detractor on many

website pages.  I gather their placement on the web page is also an issue,

as if they are at the top of the page, people often scroll down to read

information and their impact is lost.  Many web design companies are now

advocating their placement in the middle or lower down a page.  I think the

most 'friendly' banner ads are of the call back variety where you click on

the ad because you are interested in the product, a box pops up and you

enter your details and when you want to be contacted re. the enquiry.  Once

you have submitted the details you are directed back to the original site

and can carry on browsing.  This is good for the user - you aren't moved

from the site of primary interest - and good for the host site as the

traffic is not directed away from it.
