2003-07-25 - 11:26 a.m. My Bad (ass?) Banners Okay so the banners ran. It made me a few friends, and got me a little exposure. They let you know that the average pop up ad gets clicked on .1% of the time, or something really low, and I bet that�s by mistake as you are trying to close them. Diaryland banners get a much higher viewing where between 2-3% is the average and that�s decent they said. Anything above 3 is really good, and something into the fours and fives is pretty amazing. I had the pleasure of seeing Scanzilla�s now illegal banner that got up into the fives. It was very funny. However, I must tell MY tale of three banners. The first one was good. Lobster Chick made it and did a damn good job. I gave her the picture, and that was banner number one. A total of 39, people clicked on it I believe which worked out to like 3.9% of the people who saw it. It went with the entry. It was great. High Fives all around. Great Job! However, then I decided that I would try my hands a some banners. I decided to make them, and I was pretty bad at it, but I managed to make up one from the book �Generation X� which can be seen below. This one didn�t go off nearly as well. Only about 19 people clicked on it leading to like 2.8% people who viewed it. This disappointed me, but I accept it, and it wasn�t that bad. About average. However, holy suck tits batman, did my last one suck. Six people clicked on this banner. That�s it. Six. It was viewed 0.9% of the time. I mean yeah. I should try to avoid the VGA look. And yeah; maybe it�s a little weird. But I think it�s really funny. It doesn�t make any sense at all. I would want to click on it and see who the fuck would write something like that. I guess they probably just thought it was a stupid whacked out 12 year old girl obsessed with Anime, who had a strange fondness for Dung monsters and monkies. Hamptaro; Little hamster Big adventures. (I watch the theme song to this everyday before I leave for work; God am I amazed by the Japanese culture) Anyway: the shitty monkey banner is below. I will be making another one later. A good Bruce banner, not a shitty monkey banner. | |||||||||||
