Rick, I tried to download several of the hi-bandwidth movies, and they failed for me. I wanted to make some higher quality screencaps.

Thanks,

Zipped And Sent Yesterday :) Waiting for your reply :)

If any other designers are having a bitch of a time with the PLUMBINGS logo...

http://www.esbee.net/cjbanner/pshow.jpg

I recreated it pretty damn close. Not spot-on perfect, but at least it's on a transparent background. Layers are intact so PS users can fine-tune to make it even closer.

Also saved a PSP version, though had to flatten to transparent background so not so easy to fine-tune.

Pick them up here. Hope it helps :)

a little tip, work with paths to extract the logo.... it looks very smooth after a few modifications...

i'll post my entry soon.

Well there is my entry for today's plumbings contest :)

The Full Sized HPA

Nick, you are certainly getting better. I like the fact that you picked an odd size banner yet a standard tower. It's good to mix it up. Here are a couple of tips for you:

1. Use the full URL somewhere in the banner as type-in traffic is very valuable. Find a way to always actually put http://www.plumbings.com or at least www.plumbings.com. At the minimm you should have plumbings.com in there because othewise plumbings is just a word and meaningless in the banner.

2. The handjob image does nothing to promote an anal site.

Email chris AT dollars.com for PSD files on our current logo or desigs.

Zip received. I'm in Albany, NY right now. When I get back I'll pay everyone.

Nick, this one is actually a winner. Good work. Please add the URL to the image and email me a zip of the PSD file with layers and include your payment information so I can send you your reward.

The other daily winner is:

Strife with http://www.hottiefiles.com/plumbling_01.gif

There unfortunately weren't that many entries yesterday. :(

Wow Nick!! Your work is impressive. Good job :thumbsup

Nice work, congrats fellas.

cool

My favorite part was the chicks nail next to the anus. It's a nice advertisement.

Thanks dude:thumbsup

Rick I will zip em up and send em over shortly. Thanks.

Some awesome entries yesterday guys! great work!

Had to comment on #1 rick.

I have worked as an affiliate marketing manager for years...as well as running my own sites....I have to say, if a banner has a full url, as an affiliate, I won't use it.

Type in traffic is certainly valuable, however, if my surfer types in the url instead of clicking I don't get credit for the sale.

As a site owner, your point makes sense, but as an affiliate, it costs me money. ;)

I'd have a nice mix of banners with and without urls so your affiliates can choose for themselves. ;)

[added]
I usually use mouseovers with the url to the site....so you can always suggest to your affiliates to use those instead if they don't want to use the url banners
[/added]

BTW, I'm waiting for a usr/pass to the sites so I can join in the fun!
:Graucho

I appreciate the feedback. It is definitely useful to me as I am new to all this and don't really know what sells best sometimes. What sells for a car dealer or realtor has no bearing on this lmao. I will take all the tips you guys and gals have and I honestly appreciate every one of them. Thank you.

Damn there are a lot of horrible designers on GFY. Anyway, good work zvik and congrats.

Nick...your add is probably the most effective, no doubt, but how PRACTICAL is a 200 K HPA? How many affiliates will actually use it? Most HPA's are in the 50-70K range.

He didn't indicate file sizes he desired. I can make 1k if needed. I was just going for flashy. Tip well taken though. I am still learning.

you can also crop the image (read cut in pices) a bit, the right side (movie frames) aren't animated so cut that off and animate the left part for instance.

Will save a lot of Kb's

This is so kewl! For a GFY thread, and a contest thread to boot people are actually being helpful and sharing tips! woohoo! haha

Does it help to slice it all up and put it in a table?? Or do advertisers not want a table but a solid image?

a table is better....imageready will create the table and input the slices for you at the click of a button ;)

Well, I am the site owner.

Rick have you received the email I sent you with the Zip file attached?

I just got back in town and I am going through my emails. I'll get to it before the day is out.

Only one I have for tonight. Lots of other projects.

http://www.bannerbabe.com/contests/c...300x200-01.gif

Didn't mean to step on your toes m'dear...just wanted to point out what an affiliate might be thinking....as they are the ones that will be using the banners. ;)
