Banners without links make great promotions!

Normally a banner has information about a website at another location.
When you click on the banner it links you to this website and you must
click 'Back' to return to the page you were originally on. Even though
this is the most common use of banners, it is not the ONLY one.

You can also create an animated banner for promoting the very website
it is placed on. This banner has no link. It is called a "promotional

image".

Marketing Competition
The worst thing you can do to yourself is having a website where your own visitors struggle with navigating around your site .....

A promotional banner can be used to:
a) provide an exciting title
b) announce an upcoming event
c) feature a new product or service
d) send out a public message
e) welcome visitors
f) give an explanation or definition
g) announce a feature article

You can place a linkless banner anywhere on a webpage: at the top,
in the middle, to the side, or at the bottom.

There are several websites on the Internet that allow you to create
your own free animated banners. You can quickly create a banner
and have it emailed to you as a "gif" file. Then you can upload the
image to your webpage in exactly the same way that you would
upload a photograph.

If you already know how to create your own animated banners, simply
omit the link and the "click here" (or minimize it at best).
