The success for SpyZone (http://www.spyzone.com) with banner ad placements
has been achieved through very targeted marketing planning. Each audience
is studied and the banner is designed addressing its needs alone. As
exemplified below, international placements have been made with banners in
the native language. Generic banners may only produce mediocre results,
but specifically targetted, rotating banners of various colors can be quite
successful.

Site selection is crucial, and often the large, high volume sites can only
deliver numbers of people, not qualified customers. The well-targeted
marketing program should select only sites that fit your company's
definition of a prospective customer. In the end, the click-through is
only a measure of viewers, not prospective customers and only the company
can judge the true effectiveness of the response by the generation of
direct interest or sales.
