You’ve heard about banner networks a lot. But what about the banners? Is there any proven method how to ‘rule them all’? Actually, there is. And not just one, but six. Romance-net.com – the experts in dating banner exchange – will show you how to create efficient banners and get the most from your dating banner exchange membership.

Rule #1: do not put your company name or web site on your banner with those massive huge letters. Nobody cares about it, except the owner of the company of course. This element won’t generate any clicks.

Rule #2: do use vivid, contrast color palettes. Your banner must stand out. If it doesn’t draw any attention from web surfers – it won’t be clicked.

Rule #3: banner design should be relevant to your target audience. For example, men seeking women are attracted by images of appealing girls, so such images will do the job.

Rule #4: do not try to make “art banner”. Nobody clicks banners because of its fancy design, so art and banners are not really good partners. In most cases, efficient & working banners with high CTR aren’t looking as pieces of arts.

Pilot Group LTD is glad to announce its Dating Industry Sponsorship at the upcoming event IDate 2008 in Miami Beach, 31 January- 1 February.

We will also be speaking in the Latest Dating Software Trends panel session and will be glad to meet everyone who is interested in our Dating and Social Networking Software.

On the whole there will be 2 conferences at the same time at Convention center this year: Internet Dating Conference 2008 and Social Networking Conference 2008. Both the agendas are very interesting: lots of industry executives not only visit the event but speak there and share their knowledge. You'll be able to learn more about software, marketing trends, payment ways, new projects in the industry, find partners to promote your own Dating or Social Networking Site and get an idea about the future of the industry!

It's a unique opportunity to meet with Google, AOL, IBM, Digg, Technocrati, Intel representatives; talk to greatest Dating Site owners like OkCupid, Mary.com, College Tonight and many more; negotiate with partners and find new ones.

What I like about IDate is that it's always open to new thoughts and industry trends, the sessions are very informative and all the speakers try to teach the audience and not only to advertise their products. As I'm sure that the aim of every conference for many people is not only to learn about new companies but also to study new spheres to be able to use them for their business development. I'm sure that this year, IDate 2008 and SNC 2008 will be same professionally organized and people there will be same or even more business wise and helpful. See you there!
