Though this may be a great excuse to just toss a bunch of referral banners out there, I really am interested in knowing which banners are more interesting to you. Which one(s) catch your eye? Which one(s) are you more likely to click? Any other input?
When you pile all of these referral banners together, they all kind of jumble up and blend together. Does one stick out to you more than the others? Why?
Let’s also take that a step further. Visit some of the sites and tell me what you think. Are you a member of any of these? After visiting them, would you want to be?
Be sure to leave a comment with your input on ANYTHING about these sites and/or their banners! Your opinion really does matter.
I like for a referral banner to be clean with clear text, and being animated is ok sometimes (though I’m not a big fan of animated banners) so long as it is done well and looks good. A site’s banner is their representation out there on the web. Would you hand out business cards if they didn’t look good and give a good representation of who you are? No, or at least you shouldn’t. Banners are the same way!
