Samsung Notebook Ultra Series 5 Banner Ad

Samsung Notebook Ultra Series 5 Banner Ad as seen on www.youtube.com on 26 June 2013. The banner ad was placed on the top frame of the Home Page. Banner Ads on Youtube.com home page are our all time favorite. They are Big and Better simply because of the unparalleled capabilities that Youtube.com Banner Ads provides.

One they are inescapable. Two they are rich media. Three you can embed a video to demonstrate either your TVC or your product features. Now that is especially attention worthy cause unlike banner ads on most of the websites wherein you are taken to a new browser window (for landing page) as soon as you click the ad thereby disrupting user browsing experience, a Youtube home page banner Ad is allowing you to demonstrate the product features/offer details/TVC etc. right there as a part of the banner ad area.
Hence, a better overall browsing experience!

Have come across some great banner ad and want to share with everyone. Drop the link in the comments section and if we like it enough you might be in for a surprise gift :)

Intel Perceptual Computing Challenge

Intel Perceptual Computing Challenge Banner Ad as seen on www.thinkdigit.com on 23 June 2013. The banner ad was placed on the right hand side of the webpage visible only after a scroll down.
The picture of the landing page that is a dedicated website for this challenge is also shown.

Given that the target audience for the competition is technology enthusiasts, thinkdigit.com seems like a good choice. The size of banner ad is also good enough to attract eye balls. Two things we feel could have been better are:
a) Placement of the ad - As the ad was visible only after scrolling down some users would have missed it altogether.

b) Coloring of the ad - Colorful ads tend to attract more eyeballs and this ad with its single aqua coloring is not very appealing.
