They work by increasing the visibility of the product or service being advertised, much like a magazine or TV ad. It is the perfect tool for announcing your web presence or conveying a short commercial message to perhaps millions of cyberspace surfers.

A banner link is typically a GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) or JPG image. The size is range approximately 40 x 40 pixels to 500 x 70 pixels. The file size of the image should be less than 15 KB. The smaller the file size of the image, the quicker the image will load on the page being viewed. Unusually long downloading times may cause a viewer to become impatient and move on before the image has been fully displayed.
The image will contain a short text or graphical message to persuade the viewer to click on it and be swiftly transported to that particular web site.
