Can´t Afford Banner Ads? What About Buttons?

One of the problems with web advertising is the high Internet advertising cost. If this is an issue for you, then consider looking at Internet buttons to advertise your site.
Internet buttons are more cost effective than banner ads but are still highly effective. So if you are ready to enter the world of online ads, then consider advertising buttons!

What is a Button Ad?

A button ad is like a banner ad, but smaller. Such ads contain web button GIFs, which create interesting pictures that draw the reader´s eye. Web buttons come in four main sizes, 120 x 90, 120 x 60, 125 x 124, and 88 x 31. (Sizes refer to the pixel dimensions of the buttons.) There are also non-standard button ads that are common. (Note that non-standard sizes might cost a little more than a standard button size.)

Banner advertisements usually show up at the top of a website. Buttons, on the other hand, tend to be placed on the right or left of the page text, towards the middle of the page. The best placement for advertising buttons is "before the fold," which means situating the button in the site before the user has to scroll down. Internet readers tend to scan-and-go when they read information. If they have to scroll down before they get to your link, they might miss it.

Sometimes buttons appear in a combination block with three different ads. This can help to make more affordable web advertising as the cost is shared between three sites. Buttons are often seen on blogs because they do not distract from the content but allow the blog owner to earn some income.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Web Buttons

As with any form of Internet advertising, there are advantages and disadvantages to advertising with web buttons. By thinking through these pros and cons, you as the advertiser will know better if web buttons are the right option for your needs.

Disadvantages

The main disadvantage to Internet buttons is that they are smaller than banner ads. This might mean that you cannot fit quite as much information in the ad. You will need to make the button as striking as possible to draw browsers to your site.
