Creative ads look pretty with my business name on them. Make all the banners you want I love free branding!

If affiliates want to make money directive advertising is the best way. Today's consumer on the Internet is a lot more sophisticated than he was 10 years ago -- there is a multitude of choice.

If you don't understand the reasoning behind the Intention Economy you need to get a new day job. If you don't recognize the new visual media and its obsoleting of the traditional display ad you are going to get left in the dust.

Learn what CTA is all about and use that to trigger your own popups. Banners are just "pretty" decorations if you expect more from them you are drinking the Kool Aid.

We only produce affiliate banners because affiliates think they need them, IMHO. But I do appreciate the initiative of the OP I just see the media as misdirected and offer some contemporary alternatives.
Wow, you actually seem to take yourself seriously, using a lot of big words!

OK, let me explain this to you at a level you should be able to understand: Banner = graphic image used to advertise a site. Now, does a banner have to only contain (pretty) images? Does it have to only contain images? Is it prohibited to include a CTA in a banner? Must it use the URL of the site you're ultimately selling?

From what I understand, your program only offers revshare. Which means that big media buyer affiliates aren't exactly tripping over themselves to send you traffic. Otherwise you would probably be more familiar with how banners are being used to drive immediate conversions nowadays. 'Cause if you still think banners can only be used for branding then you're either way out of the loop, or you simply got shit for brains.
