Website Advertising Software Options
There are a variety of software solutions available for bringin to light particular specials, products, or third party websites to the visitors who come to your site. In the pioneering days of the Internet, banner ads were all the rage. This quickly led to banner blindness on the part of most websurfers.
To the rescue came the first generation of popover creators. These worked by opening a framed second browser session either behind or over the page that your visitor was busy reading! Unsurprisingly, the majority of people found these pretty annoying, and the counter-attack came from popup-blockers, which soon became commonly installed on browser toolbars and the most popular browsers.
Then a new generation of dhtml popups came into being. Rather than opening a fresh browser window, these would overlay a popup note, hover ad, or fly-in ad within your existing browser session. They are less irritating and much harder for popup blockers to detect and eliminate. They also come in many varieties: from instant popover notes designs, to fade-in lightbox overlays, to slide in and fly-in windows. They can be attractive to the eye as well as very versatile, allowing you to embed videos, audio snippets, or an optin form right into the popover.
Software programs continues to progress of course, and the newest generation of attention generating programs allow you to add peel away ad graphics to the corners of your webpages. These are far less intrusive than even the newest evolution of popups, and yet they obtain a good response rate from visitors. A Peel Away Ad example can be seen on the following page about Hans Jakobi, advertising the Success University website.
There are numerous webpage peel ad creator programs on the available. Some are better than others. The more rudimentary scripts only enable you to display a small 500 by 500px peel, and when clicked, they open a new browser window by default.
The more advanced scripts enable you to choose between 500 by 500px and larger 600×800 pixel ads, enable you to choose whether they will open a new browser window or not, and will enable you to add scrolling text both over your small animated peel in addition to your large peel away ad. The most affordable program which provides all of these advanced features is version 2 of PeelAwayAds.net. At only $17, it is in effect a package of four scripts. One for 500 by 500px peel away ads, one for rotating and split testing your peel away ads, one for affiliate promotion, and the version 2 script for the 600×800 pixel peel ads with scrolling overlay text options.
