Do Banner Ads Work? On topic.

Hi everyone.

Here's a question that was sparked by a, what I consider to be, SPAM email I
just got. Do you think banners ads work? Most of the time they just annoy
me. But I do have to say, on www.WetCanvas.com sometimes I'll click on one
because they *are* for the right audience, for the most part.

The email I got was from Bravenet, who manage my mailing lists. The thing
that makes this on topic for here is that they said it will target
4,000,000, yes 4 MILLION related sites...which I take to mean people
interested in beads, since that's what I do. My other question is....do you
really think there are 4 MILLION targeted sites that would have people
interested in lampwork beads?

No, I'm not considering doing this. Sometimes I just wonder if I narrow my
world so much that I don't realize that there are that many people out there
that would be interested in something I do.

I think I've had too much coffee, to even be thinking about this.

Banner ads are a funny thing. DH does get a little traffic to his site via
banners (on targeted areas), however he usually has better luck using Google
Adwords or Overture.

Do you think banners ads work?

Personally, as a matter of over-caution and principal, I never, never, never
click a banner ad!

I think they work only if they are targeted very very well. WC does a great
job of targeting the ads. Most places don't. I think Bravenet is
exaggerating.

I never click but I am not much fun (as in adventurous) when it comes to the
internet. In the past, I have clicked on links that downloaded stuff to my
computer that completely bunged it up. So I quit clicking at all. I think
things are safer these days but don't care enough to find out, LOL. I only go
where I want to go, and it is usually shopping.
