Internet and Web Marketing Tools

There are many different software solutions available for bringing to light particular specials, products, or third party websites to the visitors who come to your website. In the pioneering days of the world wide web, banner ads were the popular choice. This quickly led to banner blindness with most websurfers.

To save the day came the first generation of pop up programs. These worked by invoking a framed browser session either behind or over the webpage that your visitor was busy reading! Unsurprisingly, the majority of people found these highly irritating, and the counter-attack came from popup-blockers, which soon became commonly installed on browser toolbars and the most popular browsers.

Then a new evolution of dhtml popups came into being. Instead of opening a fresh browser window, these would overlay a popup note, hover ad, or fly-in ad within your existing browser session. They are less intrusive and far harder for popup blockers to detect and zap. There are many varieties: from sticky popup note designs, to fade-in lightbox overlays, to slide in and fly-in windows. They can be attractive to the eye as well as very versatile, allowing you to embed audio snippets, optin forms or a video right into the sticky popup notes.

Software programs continue to evolve of course, and the newest evolution of attention generating programs allow you to add peelaway ads to the corners of your webpages. These are far less intrusive than even the newest genetration of popovers, and yet they obtain a good response rate from visitors. An example of a peel away ad can be seen in the corner of the following page about Hans Jakobi, promoting the Success University website.

There are numerous peel away ads programs for sale. Some are better than others. The more basic programs only enable you to show a small 500 by 500px peel, and when clicked, they open a new browser window by default. The more advanced programs enable you to choose between 500 by 500px and larger 600px by 800 ads, enable you to choose whether they will open a new browser window or not, and will enable you to add scrolling text over both your small animated peel in addition to your large peel away graphic.

The most affordable one on the market which provides all of these advanced features is version 2 of PeelAwayAds.net. At only $17, it is actually a package of four scripts. One for 500×500 pixel peels, one for rotating and split testing your peels, one for affiliate promotion, and the version 2 script for the 600px by 800 peel ads with scrolling overlay text options.
