If you've spent any amount of time surfing the internet, you've seen more than your fair share of banner ads. These rectangular advertisements appear on all sorts of web pages, and vary considerably in size, appearance, and subject matter.  Because of its visual nature, a banner ad is somewhat similar to a traditional print advertisement you'd see in a newspaper or magazine.  But banners have the unique ability to transport potential customers directly to your web site with a simple click of the mouse.  Imagine touching a printed ad and being immediately teleported to the advertiser's store - that's the kind of business-generating power we're talking about!  A banner ad also differs from a print ad in its dynamic, animated nature.  Although it (usually) stays in one place on a web page, it can cycle through multiple images, making it both more eye-catching and able to present more informaiton than its size would allow in a print publication.

Example of Banner Ad

But a banner ad does more than just direct traffic to your business' web site.  Having banner ads on high-traffic sites will raise potential customers' awareness of your brand even if they don't actually click on it.  Just as Coca-Cola, The Gap, and Microsoft raise awareness of their brands simply by pasting their name and slogan anywhere and everywhere they can (television, billboards, signs at concerts or sporting events), you can gain widespread recognition for your products or services on the Internet for a tiny fraction of the cost of other media outlets.  So even if people don't follow the link on a banner directly to your website, your business' name will remain in their memory, to be remembered when the customer finds themselves in need of your product or service.
