why is a ad hoarding called a "banner"?

cause if you look like it it looks like a banner like you see people holding at footballmatches for example, they have a rectangualr peice of cloth with stuff about there team on it, in other words they are advartising there football team.

I agree with the comment above. Also a higher frequency  will lead to a higher memory rentention on the commercial's message. If you can only air your ad once during Idol then chances are your target market won't remember the ad. Not only are you trying to grab the target markets attention you are trying to compete with other ads during that same time slot.

I would guess that it is because it was not properly commercialized. Don't worry I will explain. It doesn't cost much to celebrate. When I was a kid we would get some dixie cups and pipecleaners and make those into basket. We would then put a few candies and flowers in there and take it to our friends and neighbors house. Set it by their front door then run away. It's way too cheap nobody profits. So it was not promoted and was forgotten about.

It's called SEO spam or blog spam.  \n\nBasically it's computer-generated randomness but the purpose is to show up in the search engines so people click, then (hopefully) they click again on one of the Google AdSense ads that are on the spam page.  You can buy software that churns out these pages automatically by the thousands. It's a typical case of "scam of the week" because all the money is made by the guys selling the software to suckers who believe that spamming people is a legitimate business.\n\nGood luck,\nScott

I have clicked on banner ads, but never because I actually wanted the product or believed what was being said. The only time I click on them is if I am really bored or waiting on something and it is one of them where you get to try and hit the celebrity or something like that. But I have never purchased anything that was advertised on the banner and never clicked on one because I was interested.\n\nHowever, I do feel they can be a useful source for advertising. I think you have two different type of people; the people that see advertisements, believe them, click on them and look around and the person that sees an ad, is annoyed by it or doesn't believe it, so they avoid the company. But I think the ads help to get companies names out there so that the name is registered in your head. So if you see an ad for a company, then sometime thereafter you are looking to purchase the product they were advertising, that ad is likely to pop in your head and you will check out the website. I guess it just depends on the person, but it is useful to get your name out there. \n\nActually, now I take back what I said. I was at the Disneyland site not too long ago and seen the ad for the Adventures By Disney site and clicked on that. So I suppose on ocassion I have clicked on them, I guess it just depends on what they are advertising.

Ad-Aware is a respected program that removes junk from your computer.  Did your new computer come with any antivirus software?  I recommend that you get some if you don't have any, and keep it updated.  If you are running WinXP, make sure you have SP2, there were many security updates.\n\nThe google toolbar and yahoo toolbar both come with popup blockers, you could use one of those.\n\nYou might consider running both Ad-Aware and Spybot.  They are both fre and do an excellent job.

Pop-ups and advertising banners.  It's the same way that we can listen to the radio for free, or aren't charged for each individual tv show we watch.  Advertisers pay the bills.

Those ads pay for the free something.   A company can't stay in business very long by giving away money/product.

It's a loaded phrase that advertisers use to grab your attention. It doesn't really mean anything....kind of like "virtually spotless"

I get lots of these lately too.  I don't even open them, just delete them.  THEY'RE SO ANNOYING!

Firstly, look at how the ad is organized, where everything is placed (text at the bottom or top?). Next determine what the purpose of that ad is. What does it want the reader to believe? How does it attempt to persuade you to believe that? (colors, objects, text).\n\nHope I could help you.

Well let me try...\n\nYou need a photo editor, but you might be able to use the paint or image program that comes with your operating system.  \n\nBut your question makes me think that you'd like to see this banner deployed somewhere.  Could you tell us where you intend to use it, or how you got the idea?  These details might help us figure out what you are trying to say.

It's a cool online message board for classifieds.  It has local pages all over the US and the world.  It is free :)

Because he probably filled out info like junk ads and stuff and then got placed on internet listings.  I wouldn't advise it, because it will only cause a lot of junk and clutter to suddenly converge in your life.

Probably loads, but it is a genuine user supported nonprofit. I doubt they ever will sell advert spaces. It would ruin everything they have built.\n--CJ
