BANNER SYSTEMS


VESPER EXCHANGE.

Advantages

  • They give 2:1 most of time but 5 days month they give 1:1.

  • They have one set of code for all pages. You don't have to bother with changing code numbers from one page to another. This makes setup and maintenance much easier.

  • They offer a payment system where you earn money for click thrus (when someone clicks on a banner on your site). You get 10 cents a click. However this money can only be redeemed at the site for advertising. It's not ‘real’ money that you can use.

  • You can have up to 5 banners at one time, which means you can compare designs.

  • They also offer a variety of default banners for those who don't have any banners of their own. This means you can get started right away without having to wait to design a banner if you want to. (We would not recommend this for long term use. )

  • New clients can sign up from the piece at the bottom of your banner so you don't have to promote the site to get new clients.

  • They do offer categories for your website and targeting for your advertisements. However the categories are so broad and there are so many gaps finding something that your website fits into might be hard for quite a lot of sites.

Disadvantages

  • They don't allow you to filter banners from your site. This means you can't screen out the competition, which can be a BIG disadvantage in some cases.

  • The referral system sends new ‘clients’ directly to a sign up page. There is no way for them to find out any information about the site while still listing your referral id. This means if they go to check out the information you loose the referral.

  • They have a referral service. If you sign up others you get more of those advertising dollars to use in your account. However it's rather poor and you don't get much for it. Don't sign up because they have this it won't get your far (probably won't even buy you a coffee)

  • They do have a piece tagged on the bottom of the banner with their name on it. If you want a ‘clean’ banner this could be a drawback.

  • Even if you log out of the system. If you then click on some portion of the site which is members only, it automatically logs on back on. This is not secure at all.

  • Categories are too broad and it may be difficult to find something that your site will correctly fit into. This can mean that others trying to target to you also miss your site.

  • From our experience on earlier uses of this site the number of different banners that were shown on our sites were very small. We seemed to keep getting the same two or three banners, this does not offer much variety for your site and makes it boring to the user.

Conclusion.

Quite a good system. Stats are fairly comprehensive even if the website takes a little more time to navigate than some others. Banner are delivered fast. As long as you don't mind their advertisement under the banner.
Recommended.
