 At the time this article was written, the I5NET Ad network was average 1
Click thru per 119 displays.  This outperforms most other ad networks
because it is a closed advertising environment.  Most ad networks average 1
in 300. 
Below are some examples of the best performing ads and worst performing ads
that have been run on our system: 
EXAMPLES OF THE GOOD! 
  
    | 
         
      Averages 1 Click-thru every 35
      displays (www.tomscards.com) 
      Disney always puts people in a
      good mood!  Can't explain why else this ad is so popular.  | 
   
  
    | 
         
      Averages 1 Click-thru every 64
      displays (www.i5net.net) 
      Cheerful i5net URL bouncing
      back and forth make this ad pleasant but not overwhelming.  | 
   
  
    | 
         
      Averages 1 Click-thru every 76
      displays (www.civilsolutions.com) 
      Good information was provided
      for the targeted audience.  | 
   
  
    | 
         
      Averages 1 Click-thru every 81
      displays (www.i5stores.com) 
      Simple ads sometimes get the
      most interest.  | 
   
  
    | 
         
      Averages 1
      Click-thru every 90 displays (www.i5net.net) 
      Back to that
      simplicity thing.  No animation, no overwhelming colors, yet this ad
      was very successful.  | 
   
 
The last three ads above show that animation isn't necessarily a good
thing.  Actually as we show below, it can hurt your ad's chance for
responses.  People usually see the ads out of the corner of their
eyes.  If the ad hurts to look at, the eyes register that message and will
keep the visitor from looking at that part of the screen. 
Examples of the BAD! 
  
    | 
         
      Averages 1 Click-thru every 310
      displays (www.civilsolutions.com)
      .  This ad had too much blinking and loud colors for it to be
      attractive to the customer.  | 
   
  
    | 
         
      Averages 1 Click-thru every 257
      displays (www.i5stores.com) This ad
      has too targeted an audience to receive a significant number of click-thru's.  | 
   
  
    | 
         
      Averages 1 Click-thru every 240
      displays (www.i5stores.com/mall) 
       
      I think it may have been the
      colors?  | 
   
  
     
      Averages 1 Click-thru every 239
      displays (www.i5net.net) 
      Important message was
      displayed, but the attitude of the banner kept visitors from wanting to
      click on it.  Reds are not an inviting color for this ad.  The
      ad is hostile in nature.  |
