They can appear as static images or can have dynamic and interactive text and graphic elements.
Other than size and elements, banner ads may also be available as expandable banners, drop down banners and scrolling banners.
Compared to other advertising methods, banner advertising has proved to be more effective. The click through rate for banner ads have been recorded to be from 0.5 per cent to 2 per cent. Even this small percentage can be helpful when you are having large volume of traffic on the web site.

Re: Gorilla playing the drums... now at 1.8m views

Re: Gorilla playing the drums... Let's a better perspective on the ad stats: btw it's now at 1.8m views. AND, 3000 text comments and 16 VIDEO responses. Finally, hundreds of blogs have linked to it as well. So I'd disagree that the Gorilla playing the drums piece is like a poor spot on TV5. That TV slot is one hit, for 90s. Ads on Youtube and other places are spread over the 'long tail of time' as it were... it will remain popular for months and months.
