Forgive me if I fail to understand your point, here Sajid. My point is that

banner advertising can work very well if done properly. Your example of 17%

CTR on *banners* "in your advertiser supported content" would seem to

support that view. I repeat that I have no particular love of web ad banners

as opposed to other forms of online advertising.


If the campaign you mention took a creative view of how to place banners and

whatever else was placed, that's great. Well done! I'm all in favour of

creative media placement as well as creative creative.


As to telling you who my blue-chip clients are, as I told another member of

this list a while back, if I tell you who my clients are (sorry, not sure if

any of them _are_ "blue chip", where does one find the list of blue chip

firms?), you would only have to wave that 17% CTR to steal them all from me.


When it comes to willy waving I prefer to keep my modest offering well

inside my pants.


Moderator please note, I will not make any further comments on this thread

as I think it has worn a little thin.
