Me Buying my First Banner ad with adbrite

The other day I made some money so I decided to get a banner designed for my directory BluenoserLinks so what I did was open a contest at NamePros and got a really cool banner for only $15.

Then today I decided that I wanted to show this banner off on a test site. So I browsed the directory at AdBrite.com and found a site that I thought fit. Then I started through the check-out procedure, but wouldn’t you know it, the animated gif banner that I had made was too large, and me being at a computer that isn’t the one that I usually use, didn’t have any editors. That is when I came acorss a cool site www.gifworks.com

GifWorks.com allows you to do image editing online for FREE, and as far as I can tell no catches either, there wasn’t even a pop-up, or notice of one getting blocked. That is what I call a clean site, and as far as ease of use goes, it was great. Mind you I don’t think that I would like to use it to create design banner ads, but it worked great in a pinch when I had to reduce the size of my banner a couple kB.

    Oh, but where is the banner? I expected to see an image or a link to it in the article :)

    I’ve seen some folks offer banners for $5, so I’d love the opportunity to compare them with a $15 banner.
