The Psychology of Banner Ads

The Psychology of Banner Ads

The researchers have jump to the conclusion that by exposing yourself to a product, time and again via banner ads envelope positive feeling towards that product. From Banner people can understand more about your product The good news for consumers is that a critical revaluation of the product can make these positive feelings disappear.

To test, they asked students to read a multi-page essay under the impression that they would be fielding the questions on the essay’s content. Instead, the students were ultimately quizzed about a fictitious brand of camera, Pretec, which had appeared in the banner ads on the pages that contained the essay. Different pools of students are exposed to Pretec ads zero, five, or 20 times.

When asked about their negative vibes towards the brand, the number of exposures made absolutely no difference. In contrast, those students asked about their positive feelings towards the brand see those feelings increased based on the number of exposures.

There are apparently two models striving to explain this phenomenon. The first proposes that people will more willingly assign positive properties and can retain things in their memory more readily. The second suggests that the processing of even minimal exposures can create an actual positive evaluation. That positive affect then influences future evaluations.

To conclude which of these may be at play, the authors took another pool of students and asked them to make a similar evaluation but in attempt to do so without considering the familiarity of Pretec, the positive effect can be vanished, suggesting that the first model was correct.

Hence, psychologists have a better grip on their theories, and advertisers have barely few things to consider. Banner ads may provide a valuable function in fostering familiarity and the familiarity-based advertising may work best for impulse buys, where more detailed evaluations aren’t likely to occur.

    I use a site called Cellyspace for my business (real estate). Cellyspace has a broadcast feature that lets me create broadcast alerts with pictures and text of new listings. It's really amazing once you get the hang of it. I'd say try it out.

    You can apply at affiliate programs and promote some of their products. From there you can get the banner ads that these products have. Commission Junction (cj.com) is one site you could go to.

    There are several ways to do this but I recommend the following:

    If you haven't already, download Firefox. This is an alternate web browser to internet explorer. It is the safer alternative to internet explorer (and it looks no different).

    Method 1:
    Download the 'NoScript' extension. This is an 'addon' for the browser which gives it the capability of 'blocking' scripts on the internet. With the sites that need scripting, you can just allow them in your 'acceptance list'. As well as blocking ads, you will also be browsing the web much safer than usual. This is a good security measure to have in place.

    Method 2:
    Download the extension AdBlock Plus (for firefox).

    Banner ads are primarily used as an advertising tool — whether as branding mechanism or to get clicks and hopefully conversions. It is not typically used for organic search results

    The only time it can have some SEO impact is when the link to the banner ad is hard coded to the site, that the search engines may pick up the link and count it as a vote towards the site.

    But that is only done by the very small sites who have no banner ad server or the few sites who really sell hard coded advertising on their sites. Most sites that accept banner advertising use a banner ad server that allows them to rotate the banner ads on their site — and those are typically javascripts which the search engines cannot read.
