Help me choose a banner!

[stogie bear]

I'd be interested iin your input on the three banners above.

We will start an advertising drive in the next few weeks and this will include a banner in the shape of the ones above. My boss likes the one on the left best and my preference is for the middle one...

We are not allowed to use any nudity in this set of banners!

Maybe your thoughts can help swing it for us...

Thanks!

The one on the right..........more variety and gorgeous pics of gorgeous ladies!!!

I think the one on the left does the best of "selling" the site, by extolling the virtues of # of pics, # of videos, # of models, etc...

That said, I think a little more skin on that banner would make it a bit more appealing, but as is, I think its the best one to attract more people.

BTW - are you making all these banners yourself Stogie?

[dummy_plug]

Maybe you should hold a banner contest? I'm sure there's plenty of members out there with excellent photoshop skills and it might be fun to see what some of the forum members come up with.

I notice when I look them over, I scan straight to the pics on the middle and the right one. However the left one like d_p says, is busier, and causes you to slow down to take it all in. Therefore I read the captions between the pics as I go. I pick the left one.

Yes I am, but I don't mind at all if anyone else wants to have a bash!

(125 X 600 and no nudity!)

I like the center banner.... people don't really care what they say when it's on a page with 50 other banners. The center banner with Pookie is striking and it pulls eyes to it... People will click on a banner that is sexy and visually pleasing.

You're dead right, Mr. Bear.

The one in the middle, absolutely, no question about it.

Much classier, much more evocative, much more likely to make the punters smile. The one on the left looks like an ad for an undistinguished and not very imaginative real estate broker (...well, methaphorically speaking, of course). The one on the right is just too predictable and, therefore, dull.

I'd agree with the middle one, but not so sure about the actual girl. How about putting Jay in the pic instead?

[Guest]

Nice banners, now which one? They are all just as good! let me explain.

Left - Good: for advertising the site to say what is within the site and what is about. Bad: to much faces and lacks body pose to tease.

Centre - Good: nice body pose and more pleasing to the eye. Bad: don't says what is within the site, just says AsainTS mostly.

Right - Good: nice varity of body poses. Bad: lack the left abnner info of what in teh site.

So to have an ideal banner have bit of each form each banner. But if I has to choose 1 then it have to be the right one.

I like the style/format of the middle one - but maybe with the bottom two girls from the right banner instead

[Randyman]

That's why the left one works for me. If I'm advertising, I want the site address to be what you remember when you're sitting at your computer. Pretty girls? sure they're everywhere out there in cyberland, and as easily forgotten, and what looks good to me, you may pass by. It's easy to look at a face or two quickly and be on your way, but to me the left one is busier, and the blend of caption and pics cause me to slow down and take it all in.
Not looking at it now, if I recall correctly;
...the left one has 5 pics and site links between each
...Middle has 2 bigger pics, a site address and a quote, "best ts site..."
...Right one has a couple of pics, probably a site address and......well any one who votes for it is probably retarded anyway

Definately the middle one.

As Bam says - the eyes have it.

RR.

Middle one, but with an extra picture. Too much bare arm/leg. Cut that & you have room for another head shot. Needs the ".com" bit adding to the URL. I prefer the light blue colour with the graph paper and that may look better on the Left banner rather than the purple.

[stogie bear]

Fascinating mixture of answers and opinions. Keep them coming please.

I guess different syles will appeal to different users and there's no such thing as a perfect banner.
