Hi all,
I sat in on the webinar but it’s left me slightly confused, Tim Ash said animations and rotating banners were a no-no, most of the programs I’ve signed up for use this type of advertising? Also on the websites he reviewed he basically said some of them contained too much text which looked no where near 300 words? Am I missing something here?

I believe he was probably saying this due to the fact that banner blindness is prevalent. On our sister site, pokeraffiliateprograms.com, I implemented some facebook style banner ads with a small static image and a small blurb of text, and saw our CTR more than DOUBLE to these kind of banner ads. Have a look at this example: [ATTACH=CONFIG]742[/ATTACH]
Keep in mind that just because a program has an animated banner ad, doesn’t mean you’re stuck with it. Screenshot it, resize it, and make it fit to your needs to boost your conversions.
