Banner Advertising Is Not Dead! (see our packages below)

As an online business owner you already understand the importance of advertising. One of the most important factors of advertising is "branding" yourself. The best form of branding yourself is through banner advertising.

Banner advertising gives you an opportunity to be remembered by prospects as most people will remember an "image" more than words. Now, associate that image with a slogan - and you're on your way to great branding of yourself!

Below you will see a banner. Take notice of the banner. Now, click Refresh on your browser and look at the banner again. You'll see it's a different banner. The banner your saw first received one impression when you came to this page. The new banner you see - that banner now has a new impression.

If you see the same banner refresh your browser again. The sample below is called a banner rotation account. For this example we've put four banners in the below rotation. Every new person that visits this page - a new banner appears and thus another banner impression for a client. (If you don't see a banner - check your internet security levels and make sure javascript is enabled)

Now what you really want are click-thru's. If you were to click on any of the above banners that you viewed - this would be called a click-thru. It's our goal to put your banner throughout a vast network that receives a minimum of 1,000,000 visitors - some will be repeat visitors - which is to your benefit. This will increase the chances of people clicking on your banner.

You might be asking yourself if we are a banner exchange. We are not.

Michelle Raybourn (owner) has been marketing online for over 8 years. She understands the importance of an advertising budget and she understands the importance of branding a business. In addition to six other advertising services, Michelle launched Virtualbanners.us on 05/07/02. Over the course of three years we have put together a network of banner rotations for the sole purpose of offering "Affordable Advertising" for our clients (YOU!).

We are not a banner exchange program. Instead, we have our own private network where we target those seeking business opportunities online. Your banner campaign is placed within this network that receives a minimum 1,000,000 hits per month!

How do I get a banner? Do you make it?

We can create a banner for you (see pricing below). However, if you are wanting to purchase impressions to advertise a program you are an affiliate of - login to your member's area of that program. They most likely have banners for you to use.

We can also refer you to a few places where you can customize banner templates - free.

Let me stress something - the biggest part about banner advertising is you are branding yourself. The places that allow you to create your own banner for free, some may include their own "slogan/label/site" right on your banner. Because you are trying to brand yourself online - you may want to stay away from using those services. People viewing your banner and seeing it was made free by such and such - the viewer may question your professionalism, the seriousness of which you take your online business. I am only speaking from experience - not trying to lecture. :-) If you are wanting to make your own banners using a free service, try finding one that doesn't advertise on your banner.

I have a banner but it's only on my hard drive - can I use it?

Yes, we can host it on our server free of charge. You simply need to send it to us inserted and attached in an email.

What size banners do you accept?

Because our banners are served throughout a private network, we can only take industry-standard size of 468x60.

Do you provide stats so I know how many impressions and click-thru's?

Yes, we provide live stats. These are sent to you once your banner is uploaded to the network.

Once I purchase, how long until my account is loaded?

Usually within 48 hours. If purchasing Sat - Mon, expect your banner account to be uploaded by the following Wednesday.
