Make banners

Have you tried to make banners for your own website. If you don’t have the money to pay someone then you can use the online banner makers to make digital ads that will work for you and will make you more money.

Before you start to make your own digital banners for use on the internet you need to do some research on the niche you want to use the banner ads for. If you don’t do the research you might not use the right colors, words and keyword phrases that will get people to click on your banner ads so you can make some money.

For instance, when I had a website selling insurance I found out that the best colors were a cream colored background with the text as a darker green. I also discovered some trigger words that would encourage people to click on the banners. That find was a great help to my efforts on the insurance website.

You may think that people are smart enough to click on banners when they see an ad that they like but, unfortunately, you would be wrong. You absolutely need to tell people what to do and when to do it. Adding click here or click here now will improve your click thru rates(CTR). If your banners don’t have a good CTR you are wasting that space on your website. Always tell surfers what you want them to do next.

After you have your colors and keywords figured out then you need to figure out the sizes you want to use before you go to the online banner makers to make some ads for your site. I recommend you stick with 3 or 4 sizes.

The best sizes, according to google are a wide banner that is 768 x 90, a tall one that can be used on the sides of your site or in the menu row. It should be 160 wide by 600 tall, then a 300 x 250 box and last but not least I like to make a few 468 by 60 or 80 for use above the fold.

Now that you have your words, colors and sizes picked out head to the online banner makers site and make yourself the banners you need. Make several of each size and change the wording a little bit on each one. You can also try some different colors and fonts.

After you’ve made your banners and are happy with the way they turned out you need to get them up on your site. Figure out which you believe to be the best and then out them up on your site. Now that you have them up you need to track your stats very carefully. If your stats show that some banners aren’t working replace them with a slightly different version and again keep good stats.

Test all of your ads to see which ones are the best, which colors and fonts work the best and which placement on your website gets the best CTR.


If you aren’t testing and keeping good stats you are costing yourself money. If you have problems finding ways to check or verify your banner results you can signup at Google for Google website analytics and that will help you figure out which of your advertising banners are the best banner ads for your website.

When you have some stats go back to the banner makers site and make some more banners in the style that has the best CTR and then put them up and test them. Reality is if you are serious about making money on the net you need great stats and the will to remove the things that aren’t working.

Using the online banner makers to make banners is very cost effective if you do watch your stats closely. Cheap banners made yourself can work well so give it a try today.
