    Geek opinion please

    Not for KB - another job - entertainment site.

    What do you think is an reasonable file size limit* for banner and standard skyscaper ads?


    * I was going to say 'in kb' but that only confuses the first sentence!
    Nighthawk - 2kb is not reasonable.

    256-500kb?

    Are we talking animated gif's or flash animations?

    Personally I hate the video advertising that comes up on certain sites, especially when you dont ask it to.

    It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.

    Don't really care. I'm one of the enlightened few on Telstra Broadband.

    Unless your main demographic is Xtra clients you could look at 500kb easy.
    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

    I too am an enlightened one

    Yeah 500kb max should be sweet
    To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and to endure the betrayal of false friends. To appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded

    Ha! - I was thinking 150kb was generous.

    The banners on here average about 24kb.

    Anyone know what the NZ Herald max is - without dl-ing the .pdf ?

    500kb... fuck those on dial wouldn't even download those and it may choke the page...(could take up three to four minutes to download just the add not counting the page and content... depending on there connection speed) and they simply move on to another site... and believe or not there are still a lot of people on dialup . You may find most of those bigger tower ads are done in Flash which if done correctly can be a lot smaller

    me ad blocker... so don't see your ad anyway. And on broadband so don't care...

    Ya, i reckon. 500kb is a lot generous. 100kb or less. You want the advert to appear pretty quickly, not take 10 minutes to download. Plus make it change the home page and download some unwanted files to the profile and replace the desktop image with bigboobs.jpg

    Enlightened would be using cable. but, you'll get DSL2 in the near future so you can be even more enlightened.
    FINE. This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.

    Ad networks normally limit the size to between 15kb to 50kb for banners and skyscraper standard sizes, including:
    760x120
    728x90
    300x250
    250x250
    160x600

    Try to aim at around that filesize.

    If you need ad exposure, get in contact with me with your budget and goals, and I might be able to recommend something.
