Do banner ads reduce signups?
 

What's your opinion, do you think that a quality clean gallery with 21 images and 1 rotational banner ad at the top is going to reduce signups?

banners/ads dont reduce signups :thumbsup

If you're going to rotate banners of the various "facebooks of sex" at that spot, it'll surely reduce signups. But if you're going to rotate different banners of a site you took content for your gallery from, it's not going to hurt sales, you'll just find the one that works best in the end of the day.

Wouldn't happen to be in the banner creation industry by any chance now would you...

would people buy banners if they REDUCED signups? LOL

my opinion has nothing to do with nature of business.

As guy said above, if you are silly and put a banner for something other than what you are selling it could, but if it matches the site you promoting it will HELp signups.

What I do matters not.

and if you go that far, im in the GALLERy business too

Ive designed thousands, upon thousands of galleries and many clients specifically request banner space .... ;)

Plug away my friend!

You do some really nice work. But you already know that :upsidedow

As for the OP: Banner ads won't reduce sign-ups, but putting 21 of anything in a single gallery might. :2 cents:

21 gallery thumbs he meant.

thanks! I didnt even plan on getting involved in this thread when I made my original "banners dont hurt sales" drive by post lol but thanks for the kind words.

always good to hear compliments it keeps the energy positive

That would be correct.

If anything, it drives sign ups, for me anyways. I typically use gallery pictures to promote the main pay site, and banner to promote another pay site of mine.

Taking more than one bite at the apple so to speak.

21 pictures is too much...
