Clarification Needed On Advertising Banners

    Hello,
    I just submitted a banner ad for approval. I noticed that when I was completing the form, I was asked to fill out the ad in text. This confused me, if I am interested in banner advertising, why would I need to write the ad in text?

    Kindly clarify.

    Thanks

    A few reasons... you would need to have some sort of description for reporting, and also if you don't upload all possible ad sizes, it will have a text-based banner to fall back to.

    Thanks for the clarification. I just uploaded one banner (468 X 60) and I want my ad to only appear as a banner and not as a text ad. Is this possible?

    A banner can be an image banner or text banner. If you always want an image banner to show, you would need to upload an image for each size supported by the site.
