    Are banners a totally outdated marketing tool or still necessary?

    Does anybody still look for banners when you join an aff program or do you just hit up a rep if you need some created?

        My tracking shows I still generate sales from them. Other methods do better but they still work.

          I can come up with ideas for banners that actually work.

          Imagine that!

                    nothing worse then having to ask for banners to be made, would just move on and find someone else to promote instead

                          The standard ones should be there but being able to hit someone up to get custom ones is nice. Like you can do with me and ER ;)

                              Display advertising is on the decline.

                              For affiliate programs they may be in demand but they are being replaced by more cutting edge products. Video overlays are just one of them.

                                  Need to be more specific.. are sponsor provided banners utterly useless? Yes. Are banners in general useless? Not at all.

                                            No, I mean those roll over expanding banners that become videos. Mainstream has been getting very strong results with that kind of ad. It is cutting edge now but will lose its strong effects with more common use. In advertising, familiarity can either brand a product or receive less attention, thus effectiveness. In extreme cases it will breed contempt.

                                            On the innerwebs, banners will be added to ad-blockers if served from an ad network ...

                                                yes, but most banners from sponsors looks like they are very outdated.
                                                Sponsors - update your banners, nobody want to use them if they look like they are from 1998

                                                    we make lots of revenues from banners.. more than all other verticals combined
