    I believe a too busy banner takes attention away from the core of the site.

    I think it looks good and is they right type of design for that age of car (meaning a big flashy flash banner would be too much).

    I would run a static and animated version and see what gets the best CTR.

    I would go with the static. Most people just scroll past ads, you only have a second or two to appeal to their interest, and only showing part of the ad in that time frame probably wont be too effective.

    Hi,
    Your Banner is good but I would prefer Static banner.
    And, ROD is right by saying
    "I believe a too busy banner takes attention away from the core of the site."

    !!! Enjoy !!!

    Text is readable but not that clear. (Automotive directory), otherwise looks good.

    I second that. It's fine, but can definitely be improved.

    Having read the other comments, then looked at the actual site, I think you could get away with that banner, as the site is simple and plain.
    It would add something dynamic to it.
    I agree that you should try and both and see what works best.

    Banner is for advertising on other sites, so isn't this a good thing? ;)

    You have a point there, I didn't notice it before but first part can be difficult to read. Thanks. :)

    What is wrong with navigation buttons? :confused:
