Hi everyone!
How about having some fun? You're invited to take part in our
Banner Contest.
We're working to develop new banners for promoting our products, and anyone is encouraged to join this creativity feast. We'll use the winning banners in our
affiliate program, which you can also join any time you like.
The
first nomination we introduced is: "
The Best Banner Developed". Here are the possible banner sizes - feel free to stick to any of these:
468 x 60 Full Banner
392 x 72 Vertical Navigation Bar Banner
234 x 60 Half Banner
125 x 125 Square Button
120 x 90 #1 Button Banner
120 x 60 #2 Button Banner
88 x 31 Micro Button Banner
120 x 240 Vertical Banner
120 x 600 Skyscraper banner
160 x 600 Wide Skyscraper banner
180x150 Rectangle banner
336x280 Large Rectangle banner We believe you've got something on your mind to surprise us.
You can make an individual banner for any of our tools
LinkAssistant,
Rank Tracker or
SEO SpyGlass, or a banner promoting our SEO software in general. The main goal of a banner is to tempt people to try our tools.
These banners can be in JPEG format, PNG format, GIF format with animation, or Flash format with special effects or anything else you want to use to dazzle a potential user.
We know, we know, some of you guys may not be drawing geniuses (just like most of us). Hence the
second nomination - "
The Best Banner Idea". Simply describe what could be written and/or drawn on a banner, in plain language. We're not putting any boring restrictions: use any words, any kind of jokes or whatever

So choose any or both nominations to compete. The rewards are waiting!
For each of the two nominations, we've got two prizes to give: one will go to the
favorite participator that gets most votes from forum members. The other one in each nomination will be the
winner of our choice - someone whose banner and whose idea we also personally choose to use.
So each of the four winners of our Banner Contest is getting, up to her or his choice, one of our licenses, for:
LinkAssistant,
Rank Tracker Professional, or
SEO SpyGlass Professional. We'll announce the results in the beginning of June. And you can use this thread to ask any questions you have.
To participate, post your banners or describe your ideas here and also please save your banner source file(s) - we may need to modify it slightly if we end up using it. Also, don't forget to vote for the authors you like - simply by leaving a comment expressing your vote.
How about some examples? Here's what Alison, the daughter of our Marketing Director did for SEO SpyGlass. (Her pet dog also took part.) Isn't her drawing cool?
With this girl, you've got serious competition guys.
And we're already waiting to praise the winners!
