You’re right there are a lot of banners out there that are hurting 🙂 ..but there are some good ones, too.

Generally the strongest Affiliates use product feeds to drive sales, rather than banners, and we push merchants for a feed standard that is often times leaps and bounds better that what can be found out there from other networks. We also import feeds daily, for fresh inventory and pricing.

All our ad widgets, tools and scripts are driven off these feeds.

And are any customers tired of the ‘free shipping’ hook they know is usually overstated or at least based on an order price? And what about some smiling faces, attractive humans, or calls to action? Most of the ads I’m seeing look like they were designed by a middle school student in Photoshop class who has some kind of aversion to the human figure. Strange, as I thought the idea here was to sell stuff via advertising.

So, in terms of ‘optimizing’ me as a publisher, give me some stunning hard-to-resist-a-click ads!
