I think the URL is unnecessary, as they can visit the site by clicking on the banner. If I'm interested in someone's banner ad, and I know the URL, I can just make a mental note to visit there later. Knowing where the URL leads takes away the 'sense of urgency' that tells me I have to click through RIGHT NOW! Also, the extra real estate you'd get by removing the URL could be used, as Christian suggests, to make the 'It's Free!' more prominent. In any case, it's very impressive and professional looking, and I think you've done a great job with it. -Charlie Christian Ambrose To: Rebecca Visger , Sent by: freebsd-advocacy@freebsd.org owner-freebsd-advocacy@F cc: reeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Any artists interested in doing a FreeBSD animated GIF 11/23/00 01:24 AM That is really cool, but the "it's free!" part may be a little too subtle. On a banner ad, a person (at least I do) seems to stop looking after the first few points have been made. Just my two cents.
