John Wall from the Ronin Marketeer blog and Marketing Over Coffee Podcast recently opened my eyes to a firefox plugin called AdBlock Plus that is internet equivalent to DVR. I just installed it and it claims to eliminate 99% of banner ads. It's scary good.Banners are often ignored anyways but if people start using effective ad-blocking software it will really make them into ineffective marketing tools. The benefit of using AdBlock is not only eliminating ads, but since these ads take time to load, your page will load faster. If enough people downloaded this free software it could have some serious effects on the business model of many sites that rely on ads for revenue.
If at first you don’t succeed, try and try again. Right?
I can’t say that I am at all surprised that Fred Thompson has withdrawn his bid for the White House. I am, however, surprised as to why. I have bitched, moaned, whined and complained to no end about the lack of GOP and media support [...]

If a picture speaks a thousand words then this new addition to our newsletter ad network is good news. FeedBlitz now supports IAB Universal Ad Package banner ads. Pricing is similar to text ads, except that the CPM rate a banner ad is charged at depends on the number of text ads it displaces, so all banners start at $4 CPM except for the 468 pixel wide banner, which is $2 CPM (it only displaces two text ads).Agencies, networks and direct buyers interested in a media kit should email me at our info@ address.

Oddee has posts like, "10 Most Bizarre People on Earth" and "15 Unfortunately Placed Ads" (which may need to add #16 after you read on..) and "50 Greatest One-Hit Wonders".Anyway, today's topic was, "World's Most Bizarre Political Candidates", which included the likes ofMitsuo Matayoshi (Japan), The self-proclaimed Jesus ChristJonathon "The Impaler" Sharkey (USA), The Satanic Vampire that ran for Governor in 2006, now runs for US President 2008Jackson Kirk Grimes (USA), Running for US 2008 election with "the ideologies of Mussolini and Saddam Hussein"...and so on.

I’ve written about usability expert Jakob Nielsen before. And while I don’t necessarily agree with everything he says, there’s always a lesson in there for us mere mortals, most recent of which is the argument that users do not notice banner ads.
This is something I covered a few weeks back. And yes, it’s true that [...]

Hi, my name is Goddess and I am unAmerican.I know this because, today, when I was in the grocery store shopping for overpriced crap to feed my family, I passed over Stephen Colbert's Americone Dream Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream for the ever popular Banana Split. I actually bordered on treasonous when I lovingly held Willie Nelson's Peach Cobbler, but I settled, people. I settled for the politically impartial Banana Split. But, I did HOLD Americone Dream for several seconds. That should count for something.And may I just say that when you're lusting for a banana split and can't get to a Dairy Queen near you [or you don't have your teeth handy], nothing is better than eating all of the banana split ingredients pureed into ice cream.Sign me,UnAmerican in PA
You may think that Banner Buddy is another free ppc ads system. Well, it's not..But what is it then? Banner Buddy is a program that will help you create custom links and banners which you can place them on your website, using a html code.You don't have to be a HTML geek to do this kind of links. Banner Buddy does everything for you ( every html code is generated by BB, all you have to do is to copy it and paste on your website ).Why would by BB a good program for me? The reason: all internet users this days search for money making methods and affiliate programs online. When they sign up for such a program, they receive a link to promote the website, product or program they are involved in. Usually, this links are long and sometimes hard to remember. So it's normal for an affiliate to want to make his affiliate link ( or URL ) shorter and even to customize it.Here's an example of what I wanna say:Let's suppose that I'm an affiliate a certain website. My affiliate link would be som

These are the mini-banners that have rolled of the production line so far as part of the free mini-banner exchange scheme. I am freely offering to design something like the banners above for you, if you will host any two of my exisiting banners and their URL hyperlink on your blog or site. If this idea appeals to you (includes guaranteed link on the next update...), please take a look at the original post for rules and the banners that I am asking you to host.What have you got to lose? Nothing...What have you got to gain? Free guaranteed link and a fresh new banner that you can use to promote your site or blog.I have also created a few larger banners like the one promoting this scheme at the top of my side bar, so if you want me to put my mind to something different, but in a similar vein then just leave me a comment...Related posts:free mini-banners - part 2free mini-banners - part 3
I have spent far too much time lately playing with Adobe 'Fireworks' software and making small-scale banners for websites and blogs. These mini-banners are very popular in the world of social bookmarking for 3 main reasons:Good publicity - a mini-banner offers more functionality that a mere text linkPublishers like them - bloggers and webmasters are happy to host them as they are neat, compact and generally quite appealingThey look good - it gives a positive impression about how you want your site or blog to be integrated into the internet communityThe specifics are that they can be made up from .gif .png or .jpg files (no doubt other format will work, but these are the three types I have used) and in in general around 80-82 pixels long and 15-17 pixels high. I have used MSpaint (at the beginning) and fireworks (more recently) to ceate them, but you can use any graphics software that will allow you to manipulate the size, colour and text content.I have recently completed six of these
