Banner Advertising - Best Practice

Banner advertising is at its most effective when it combines great design with a clear message for the target market. 

This ensures the banner ad both generates leads and overcomes banner blindness.
Successful banner ads use effective, standard sizes, such as those defined by Google AdSense:

Leaderboard

728×90px — Leaderboard

Half Page

300×600px — Half Page

Medium Rec.

300×250px — Medium Rectangle

Large Rec

336×280px — Large Rectangle

Different forms of online advertising call for differing ad placements, and banner ads are no exception.

Web banners have maximum impact when placed above the fold and close to the main content of the web page. At Publift we create ad layouts that maximize viewability without sacrificing ever important UX.

This form of online advertising works best when the design is clear and simple. When using a multimedia object or image, it is essential it is of a high quality.

Likewise, the brand messaging should be clear and succinct, containing the business logo, value proposition and a strong call to action (CTA).

At Publift we partner with top ad networks across the globe, serving quality ads, in the right place, to the right people at the right time.

Question 1

What is a Banner Ad?

Banner Ads, also known as display ads, are rectangular advertisements that are displayed in high traffic locations on web pages- above, beside, or below the content of a host website. Banner ads move out of view when a user scrolls through the web page.

Just like a billboard, banner ads are image-based display ads that work to increase brand awareness and engage potential customers through the use of a still image or multimedia object.

Their bright, welcoming appearance, with little text to distract the user, makes this image-based creative a popular form of internet advertising that has been shown to successfully increase traffic, build brand recognition and ultimately drive revenue for publishers and advertisers.

Banner advertising can be implemented on a range of devices, including desktop computers, tablets, and mobile devices.

Here at Publift, banner ads are our most popular ad format, due to their eye-catching, user-friendly nature and their undeniable ability to drive a website’s revenue.
Question 2

Where are Banner Ads Used?

This form of online advertising entails embedding an advertisement into a web page.

A web banner is generally placed in high traffic locations on a landing page or website, in order to generate leads, and increase click-through rates. This includes the top, side, and bottom of a website, places where browsers’ eyes have been shown to wander to, then linger. 

A successful banner ad blitz not only relies on intelligent placement but also on contextual targeting. 
By pairing advertisements with relevant and applicable website content and selected keywords, marketers and companies see higher click-through rates, and publishers become known for their premium inventory. 

Through the combination of visually effective banner ad design, smart on-page placement, and Publift’s programmatic advertising solution, Fuse, your banner ad expertise will really start to stack up.
