do Flash banners pull clicks better than text? - GoFuckYourself.com

Hey, I don't have much experience using Flash banners... but I'm curious, do they pull clicks better than just plain text links?

integrated · 04-30-2003, 12:41 AM

my guess would be yes

but u have to consider that many uses dont support it or havent installed shockwave and shit like that

xenigo · 04-30-2003, 01:47 AM

Ok, I'll be more specific. Are webmasters more likely to click a flash banner than a plain text link?

TurboTrucker · 04-30-2003, 01:52 AM

I don't know but they look a lot cooler.

xenigo · 04-30-2003, 01:59 AM

I'm wondering if webmasters are affected by the same "banner blindless" that ordinary surfers are affected by. If you see a flash banner is the first thought "just another fucking advertisement" or "damn, that's fucking cool, I'll click that shit"?

Hmm, I dunno personally. I think I'd click a cool flash before I click an ordinary text link...

Yeah, I think flash banners rock...I like the nice colours

I would rather click on a flash banner.

Fletch banners pull harder.

If done right, flash banners will alwais pull more clicks.

Sweet, I think I'm gonna have WebINC do a flash banner for my sig... for my new content domain StudioContent.com. They're shit looks like it rocks...

"Are webmasters more likely to click a flash banner than a plain text link?"

... not if the text link says: "BRITNEY ASSFUCKED BY GIAT BLACK COCK"

You can't tell me webmasters don't want to see Britany assfucked by a giant black cock... most of you would jump at the opportunity...
