• Can have multiple website accounts within your one Freebanners account.
  
  
• Website targeting - Can target where you want to show your banners. They have categories, plus language and geographical targeting. This is excellent if you only want to advertise in a particular country or language.

• Can have multiple banners and vary display of each individually.
  
  
• Have a multi level referral system. You get 20% of traffic from a referral. And 10% of traffic for two levels deeper.
  
  
• Small logo on bottom of their banner acts as a referral system.
  
  
• Logo on base of banner is small and not too obtrusive, good for sites that don't want much extra stuff on them.

• Claim to have a LOT of members so your banners get well spread.
  
  
• Can logout of system.
  
  

DISADVANTAGES

• There is no blocking option. Cannot state don't want certain adds on your site.
  
  
• Code has to be modified for each page you put it on. More upkeep.
  
  
• Target categories are very broad, it's not easy to decide where to put a lot of sites.
  
  
• Insist you have a hit button on your site. If people click on it you get more credits, however you do have to find somewhere to put it.
  
  
• Banner size is limited to 12K which is small for many banners today. (most are 14 - 15K)
  
  
• Banner is not clean has logo on bottom, but it is only small.
  
  
• Website is a little slow to load, makes for slow going when updating or checking stats.
  
  
• Site has lots of buttons and info, however you need to be fairly familiar with the internet to use the site correctly. Takes a bit of poking around to get everything you need.
  
  
• Make sure you check the ‘no email’ button on the profile update to prevent the deluge of mail.

CONCLUSION

A fairly good system. The stats are very good and the multiple banners allows you to determine which is performing best.
