You can buy a combination of banner placement plans to fit your marketing plans. You may use fixed or animated banners, plain or fancy banners. Be aware that some banners take longer to load than others and may not load while the page is being viewed. Try to stick to banners less than 8K.
Each reorder of a banner plan will receive 5% additional displays. The displays purchased will compound with each additional reorder.
Banner advertisers can login with their email addresses and passwords created at their banner placement plan purchase. Stats for banner displays will inform advertisers of the status of their placement plan. Of course these stats can be checked against the banner's stats on the advertiser's server where the banner is stored.
