They didn't load for me either. I'm not loading them anyway :)
hats pretty much what I thought, is there a way to what pics might be displayed on your site / or is it just random to the people that set up banners, like google probably charges them more to show pics instead of ads. I like the text idea better, because you can have a few choices, instead of just one pic Anny one else using them or have reviews? peace henry m
I haven't even ran across one yet, but CTR is definitely the problem. They also have to get around the programs like Zone Alarm which automatically detect and ban them. I'm not too sure about the strategy here. Been there, done that is what I think of with banners. I guess if the target the text on the image it might be something worthwhile. It gives you a chance to run multiple banners on one page though, so that may end up boosting earnings a bit.
