I'm not talking about Flash banners, I'm talking about people who think
people should stop bashing people who make Flash banners. If someone
creates unsavory content, I and others will associate them with such. Fact
of life.
If they do not want negative comments directed towards them, they need to
stop associating themselves with the negativity they create.
A larger question is why do banners have to be unsavory? Ad banners
serve a needed purpose: generating revenue for a site owner. I'd agree
that the vast majority of ad banners are annoying. Large flashing
objects and bad techno do not make for a compelling experience.
It would make more sense to engage a visitor with a banner they actually
want to interact with. Flash provides a unique opportunity to do this.
My guess is a good interactive banner will generate more brand
awareness and better click through rates for the advertisers.
The problem involves selling the idea since developing a compelling
experience takes time and money, whether it's an ad banner or a web site.
