Building Your Own Banners!
by Kevin Needham
Your web site is up, you have traffic coming and going, and you’re thinking now is a good time to join a banner exchange or two. Great plan, let’s start trading traffic for traffic. The only problem is, you don’t have a banner to advertise your site.
If you are an artist and like spending the time playing around with new software, you may want to download a copy of Paint Shop Pro. It is shareware from jasc.com. You can use it to create all your web graphics.
If you are like me, however, you may want to build your banners yourself, online using one of the great web sites that let you build your own banners. The best part is they are FREE.
If you want to go further and create an animated banner that will move and groove while visitors look at it, jump to The Media Builder at mediabuilder.com.
At the Media Builder you can choose from 22 different types of animations. Simply choose your text and choose an animation type, and they will create the banner right before your eyes.
Now for the most awesome, jump over to ZyWeb at zy.com where 3D is the name of the game.
So there you have it, no more excuses for boring, plain graphics on your web sites. Create those banners, sign up for a banner exchange or two and start driving traffic to your web site.
