Over the past few weeks, I come across at two plugins which if installed into any website will help you getting more attention by your visitors or potential customers.
I’ve already mentioned about called “Peel Away Ads” and “Corner Stay Ads“ on two of my previous articles and said that could help you making more money through pay per click affiliate programs.
Recently, I’ve put both banners in two of my sites, peel Away Ads on my coupon site(at the top right corner) and Corner Stay on this site, just for a test period.
Just as you need to track the traffic coming in and of your website, it important to track the performance of your banners ads. So, I left it there for one month, to measure how many real click I was receiving daily (often services that provides these software distort the numbers).
Thus, I thought, If the results are good, probably I will leave it inside my blogs to be able to sell some products through affiliate programs and make additional cash online. If the results are not that good, I will just leave it out.
First to see the results of the test, I want to summarize both features:
Peel Away Ads – Is a cool script that makes the blog look like a paper page and the ad is revealed when you move the mouse over. (look Peel Away in action in this site).
It can show multiple rotating ads on your site, and accept all types of blogs(WordPress, Drupal, etc). Peel Away Ads required two creatives: one 100×100pixel image for the teaser and a 500×500pixel image for the main banner. Images can be jpg or gif.
Corner Stay Ads - Is a piece of script that create a pop up image at the corner of any page(look image below) and the ad is revealed when you move the mouse over. You can put any thing you want(images, videos, etc) and use any graphic you like.
And The Winner Is?
As I said first, recently, Peel Away Ads and Corner Stay Ads were running into two of my projects for a brief test.
The click-through statistics provide interesting insights about how they work.
As you can see in the image below, with a few simple changes of my site( the two script are very easy to install), the click-through rate perform well to Pell Away Ads(2.76%) than Corner Away Ads(2.61%), but the difference is minimum.
Does Banner Ads Works?
The test revealed that Peel Away Ads seems be even better than Corner Stay Ads. In my view, the different results are due to how they show the ads in each website pages.
On one hand, Peel Away ads makes the blog look like a paper page and there’s more chance that users will be attracted by it, rather than Corner Stay Ads where people might ignore ads due to the similarity with other banners. So, I prefered to keep Peel Away Ads in both my two blogs, the3dtechnologies.com and nickdeiana.com
I’d love to hear your experiences with this banners. Have you used them? What did you like? Which of them could improve your site income?
