I’m interested in knowing what kinds of banners folks want as well.

Re: Pay Site Banners - what to offer ?

The most common sizes for banners are:

button: 120x60
half standard banner: 234x60
standard banner: 468x60
leaderboard: 728x90

Skyscrapers:
120x600
120x800
160x600
160x800

Square:
125x125
250x250
300x300

I have recently read an article about banners and according to a study both the leaderboard and square buttons perform above average and the standard banner has the worst click-through ratio.

I use whatever fits in the space that is left - most of the times common sized banners won’t fit, so I resize them or make my own banners. I prefer static banners.

Regarding video clips: FLV, MP4 and WMV are easy to use. I will use any of these formats.

Re: Pay Site Banners - what to offer ?

Personally I like 468x80, not 468x60.

Re: Pay Site Banners - what to offer ?

300x250 for sure
