    Looking for a set of banners to promote Cookbook sells!

    Prefer animated banners but might accept static in all these sizes,
    I need 728x90, 468x60, 125x125, 120x600, 160x600

    The ads will most likely be displayed on only one site.

    To get an idea the 728*90 banner will display at bottom of pages replacing Adsense ad on this site Ethnic Recipes

    And will be used to promote sell of this Cookbook Collection

    The colors being used in ads right now for adsense are:
    color_border = EAEAEA
    color_bg = EAEAEA
    color_link = 0088CC
    color_text = 000000
    color_url = FFFFFF

    You are free to use those colors or something else entirely it's up to you.


    Below are some ideas for thing to include but please I am looking for something Creative and productive so pick and choose or make it workable as you desire!

    Still looking for something creative that would create impulse to click/buy/look at more closely.

    It doesn't jump out at me as anything that would promote someone to click the ad and the font is too hard to read.

    It's trying to provide too much info without compelling the visitor to click it and find out more details. IMO

    Maybe if the animation was a little slower. Perhaps drop the fourth column list and replace with something like "all these and many more .. click here"

    Maybe change up the slogan " Complete your cookbook collection with all these" Something like that

    then use the extra space created when dropping the that fourth column list to complete the concept.

    Your's is first to break the mold but I think it needs to use animation to convey more information and compel the viewer to click the banner.

    Glad to see you picked up new text to use.
