New EntreCard ad

I was doing my daily EntreCard drops and ran across one of my own and decided it was time to make a custom ad. I've been using the generic orange and black with text ad that EntreCard has available if you don't have a 125 x 125 advertisement. Decision time should I make the advertisement PSP related or PS3 related. Any thoughts?

I think it'd be best to at LEAST have the name of your blog [the title] on the ad. We want to make it memorial for the website you know? Think about how some EC cards we drop on and how we always forget which blog they belong to. But then think about *my* EC ad for example... You'll always know it goes with my site right? Because I at least included my name on the 125 x 125. I designed a 125x125 for another site and HIS is memorable wouldn't you agree? :)

So there you have it. My $45 an hour internet consultation on graphic design as it relates to internet promotion for the low low price of FREE. LoL

Droppin' on ya,

Agree with Samsara. Though I think a nameless ad can also spur some curiosity, especially the one with a good and unique design.

Agrees with Ori there too. Would like to add that THAT sort of ad, yes, would have to be unique in order pique the curiousity enough for people to *want* to click it without knowing what's in store for them.

Still yet. I believe you risk the audience forgetting to associate your site with the ad once the initial curiousity has been sated.

I may be wrong! Just my thoughts.

Dropping by,

Anything is better than stock, wherever you are. And as for what it is that the ad should relate? Relate it to that which will encompass the largest audience. Do not form a target market until after your initial reaction.

Thanks for the feedback everyone. I'm thinking of a pic of a PS3 along with some text.
