Banner Questions

[Susan A]

There are a couple of places I would like to advertise the GDI banners, however, I am a bit confused.

They ask for only a banner URL, and a website URL.

Others ask for a banner URL and an image URL.

I've been able to do this to advertise other businesses, but can't figure out how to do it with GDI's banners???

One thing you have to make sure of is that java & flash are accepted where you're advertising. Some places only allow banners without flash or java (meaning they don't move or change).
Usually, you only need the URL link & the image source.
If where you are advertising at they do allow flash/java....you can go into your back office and click on "banners" and copy & paste the code of which ever one you are wanting to advertise.

Usually, a simple banner code looks a little like this
<a href=URL LINK> <img src=IMAGE URL LINK> </a>

Hi Susan,

Go to the banner section.
Scroll down to Gif banners - right click on the banner you would like to use - click on properties - copy the  adress Url. Now you have the Banner url.
You can do the same with any picture.

All the best

Hi,

Anyone who has a small 5kb banner I can use?!

Hi Stefan,

Banners are available in your affiliate members area.

Yes I know. But I need a really small one, just 5kb. I don't know how to create one.

[Roxanne G]

You can use this one



I save my images to my computer, then upload them to www.photobucket.com (it's free).  Then you can resize them if need be.  To find out the size of a banner, right click on the pic and then click on properties and it will give you the size (among other info about the pic).

Is there a way the banners that we can use on the website can point to the cartoon ferarri movie, other than the one of the two human representatives giving the presentation?

Okay so I finished my site (so I thought) and had everything looking the way I wanted it to!  Then I found a banner I would like to ad to my site.  I wanna ad it near the top of the page but when I click on add content it ads the block thing at the bottom of the page.  Any ideas or suggestions on the easiest way to get this at the top of my page?  I might have missed something but I can't figure out how to move things around without having to clear something and insert it in another spot.  Please help before I throw my computer outta my window! 

My site is:

Thanks,
Michelle

P.S. It is weird that I'm sooo frustrated with trying to figure this out yet I'm having a blast and loving every minute of it?

Yes, you must be trying to use a space (or more than one) in your file name or path to the file, so instead of the file name being something like "my file name.gif", it needs to either be "my%20file%20name.gif" on your web page, or rename the file and remove the spaces.

Helo and good - what? Day, morning, evening -  to wveryone!

Much better to rename the file - change name in one simple word or instead of spaces you can use _, too. That would be My_banner.gif for example.

Have fun - we have it already!

FWIW Gdi should add a banner section to the site builder so you can plug a banner in easily. I would have thought this was one of the most basic things to do.

You can find banners in your back office area. Then copy and paste the html into site builder where you want the banner to be.
