Pixel Ads, What are they and why do you want one?

They’re catchy… they’re hip… they’re just flat compelling!

No more big ugly clunky banners screaming at you like the
used-car salesman on late-night TV.

Pixel ads are like little jewellery boxes, you’ve simply got to
open them and see what’s inside.

Pixel ads are tiny (10 x 10) ads delivered on high content
web sites.

Your little icon and powerful ad copy begs the viewer’s
attention. It’s just plain irresistible.

When the viewer moves his mouse to the icon, your
ad jumps out, grabbing his complete attention.

There’s only one thing left to do… Click!

It’s just that simple. Clean, crisp, hip… ads that
capture your reader’s attention and move them to
action.

How to get your Pixel Ad done right!

Pixel ads, those catchy little icons popping up everywhere demand
new and creative thought.

You get 10 x 10 pixels of space to grab your viewer’s attention,
captivate their curiosity, and compel them to action.

Pretty tall order!

Actually it’s easy as 1, 2, 3.

1. Find the right pixel ad provider.

**Here are 5 things to consider when selecting your pixel ad service.

**List size, can they get your ad in front of millions of eyeballs?

**Do they have the server resources? “Banwidth limit exceeded” doesn’t make you any money.

**Can you call on your ad service for help?

**What kind of experience does your ad service have in the industry? Are they professionals?

**Will you have access to your stats? You want to know your ad is working for you.

2. Create your icon.

Use the dominant colour of your web site.

Keep your icon as simple and crisp as possible.

Generally reducing an existing logo is not acceptable.

3. Captivate your viewer with a catchy slogan

Your “alt tag” is the all important message. You get
50 characters to pique your reader’s curiosity and
move them to action.

Use short description words and strong action type
verbs. Your only goal is get your viewer to click on
your ad.

Choosing the right pixel page

Monday, November 22nd, 2010

As you are probably aware pixel mania has spread across the internet over the past couple of months. This form of internet advertisement is just like any other form; apart from you buy your ad space in the form of pixels.

One of the factors that make pixel pages so great is that you don’t have to navigate round the site, all you need is the homepage. Pixel ads are perfect for companies interested in getting their websites viewed.

First off if you are looking to purchase pixel space you need to be certain to choose the right website. There are quite a few around now, so deciding which ones are the best can be quite hard. I have stated a couple of pointers you may want to take on board.

1. Look for a legit stat counter on the website. Most of these sites don’t show one because they can deceive people with the number of visitors their actually getting. The ones showing stat counters be careful not to believe them all. Anyone can pre-set a counter to what they want to appear very popular.

2. Look for sites with a bit of publicity; it all helps in getting your website noticed.

3. Look for a site that has already got big name companies registered.

Remember on popular pixel pages, for a small one off fee your link will be on the homepage for a life time in most cases. Therefore increasing your internet traffic and potentially increasing your sales.

Pick Wisely

Monday, November 15th, 2010

A new form of Internet advertising has exploded and it is receiving a lot of response lately – pixel advertising. Essentially, it is where people purchase a set of pixels on the homepage of a Web site, inserting their company logo that links back to their own site. Potentially, the end result can be increased Web site traffic to both the pixel site and the advertisers placing their images there.

As a potential advertiser seeking unique online exposure and increased traffic for your Web site, use precautions before spending your money on just any pixel advertising Web site.

Don’t be impulsive with your advertising money. Do some comparison shopping online first. Take a few moments to browse different pixel sites, read the content on their sites about their company and what makes them unique among other pixel ad sites. Compare their pricing, the sizes of pixel ads available, the placement of your ad on their homepage, and the length of time your ad will be placed on their Web site.

Seek out pixel advertising sites whose owners already believe in natural search engine optimization, and are paying an SEO company for natural and ethical search engine optimization. How can you tell without directly asking? While it may not be the best indicator, one method is to look for keywords in the META titles, META descriptions and META keyword tags on many pages of the Web site. Look for those same keywords throughout the content on the site.

Find pixel advertising sites that will genuinely keep its word on leaving your ad on their Web site for the 5 or 10 years as promised. Many of these new pixel sites popping up everywhere will no longer be around one year from now, because they will have taken everybody’s money and stopped paying for their domain and hosting fees. You do not want to advertise on a fly-by-night-take-your-money-and-run type of pixel site.

Pixel advertising is fast becoming the latest online trend. As a potential advertiser, first take the time to shop around before choosing which pixel advertising site to pay for, and find out who will profit from your advertising money.

Small but Very Effective!

Tuesday, November 2nd, 2010

People in general are very curious about things that surprise or confound them. They want to find out the answers about something when confronted with questions or a mystery. Advertising is all about grabbing and keeping attention. This is what Tiredmouse has based their whole business model on, using the world’s smallest ads, and it seems to be working if their advertisers are asked it. One should also ask one of the many people who have rushed to see the unique ads at www.tiredmouse.com since it launch.

When Tiredmouse designed their unique homepage, they knew that people would be intrigued by this big checkerboard page filled with micro-ads. Each of these ads is linked to the advertiser’s web site. Tiredmouse then uses a hi-tech array of promotional tools to drive a tidal wave of consumers to the big homepage. The visitors then have their curiosity peeked as they look at these micro-ads. One feels compelled to start looking at each of the ads. This is what Tiredmouse calls the “what’s that”effect. You just feel like you have to look under at each of these seemingly microscopic ads.

Anyone in business knows that with Christmas coming up, now is the time to start your advertising campaign and a very good place to start that is with Tiredmouse!
