Banner Ad Campaign Effectiveness Contest
October 6th, 2008 by Tony
This is actually very easy.. you don’t have to do a banner for us or anyone else…
*edit* this should be called the banner ad defectiveness contest or why banner ads suck contest**
I was just looking through some data from an unnamed company and happened upon some reports about banner ads…
So guess how many actual clicks Company X received from over 500,000 impressions (times the banner was on someones screen) with this banner ad network company
Comment here to be entered.
The first 5 that get exact or the the closest win $100.00
There were over 500,000 times this banner was in front of someone… how many clicks did that visibility generate for the advertiser?

October 6th, 2008 at 12:30 pm
My guess would be around 5256 clicks. Am I close?
October 6th, 2008 at 12:35 pm
I’ll set my guess at 4131 clickthroughs
October 6th, 2008 at 12:49 pm
I’m going with 5,000
October 6th, 2008 at 1:11 pm
I”m just guessing around 11000?
October 6th, 2008 at 1:39 pm
Okay, I’m going to say 400 clicks.
October 6th, 2008 at 1:41 pm
I’ll say 2,000.
October 6th, 2008 at 2:32 pm
If other folks are anything like me… they got ZERO clicks!
October 6th, 2008 at 2:56 pm
I’m guessing 100
October 6th, 2008 at 3:02 pm
I am going to guess 10,000
October 6th, 2008 at 3:24 pm
I am going to guess 6587
October 6th, 2008 at 3:24 pm
999? =-)
October 6th, 2008 at 3:28 pm
2!
October 6th, 2008 at 3:29 pm
999
October 6th, 2008 at 3:29 pm
OOPs, sorry. =)
October 6th, 2008 at 3:31 pm
Oh, wait, I guess Jen posted the same number. I’m officially changing mine to 799 — if that’s allowed.
October 6th, 2008 at 3:31 pm
OK
Nobody has hit it yet.. so time for a hint.
its less than 5,000 yes its true with over 500,000, impressions the total clicks was less than 5,000 … so that should narrow it down some for you.
pretty bad performance huh.. I hope it didn’t cost them much.
October 6th, 2008 at 3:32 pm
Can we guess more than once? LOL! =)
October 6th, 2008 at 3:36 pm
Do we get second guesses? If so, I guess 2,500
October 6th, 2008 at 3:37 pm
I’m shooting in the dark here, but I’m going with 3141
October 6th, 2008 at 3:40 pm
OK, let’s go with 65
October 6th, 2008 at 3:45 pm
I would say 2595 =P
October 6th, 2008 at 3:46 pm
I’ll throw out another number: 2870
October 6th, 2008 at 3:50 pm
if we get second guesses I’m going to say 1 click
October 6th, 2008 at 3:54 pm
Well the average is 8% per impression rate, so 4000 clicks?
October 6th, 2008 at 4:16 pm
oh wow I am going to guess a second guess if it is ok to say 2
October 6th, 2008 at 4:16 pm
sorry guess that was suppose to be 22
October 6th, 2008 at 4:27 pm
If we can have a second guess, mine would be 1640 clicks.
That would be a lousy click through rate, that’s for sure. If it’s less than one percent, maybe banners aren’t the way to go anymore.
October 6th, 2008 at 5:22 pm
My guess is 4699
October 6th, 2008 at 5:40 pm
ok, how about 4500
October 6th, 2008 at 5:51 pm
500? Even that amount would be too good for them
October 6th, 2008 at 8:03 pm
I’ll guess 50
October 6th, 2008 at 8:06 pm
I’m going to guess they got around 79 clicks.
October 6th, 2008 at 9:08 pm
it’s easy … all of them!
October 6th, 2008 at 9:15 pm
I’ll try 98
October 7th, 2008 at 12:03 am
I’m going to go with 592, and I’m probably way off!
October 7th, 2008 at 12:05 am
Ok, I’ll guess 1,072
October 7th, 2008 at 12:18 am
725
October 7th, 2008 at 12:33 am
What Jen says, can we guess more than once?
October 7th, 2008 at 5:11 am

October 7th, 2008 at 5:18 am

October 7th, 2008 at 10:05 am
My next guess would be 235!
October 7th, 2008 at 10:20 am
Okay then. What the heck. If I am allowed one more guess, I will guess 256 since that used to be my truck number when I drove one.
October 7th, 2008 at 10:29 am

October 7th, 2008 at 11:17 am
I never actually saw an answer to the question about whether second guesses were allowed, but since everyone else seems to be doing it . . .

Thanks For playing!!
October 8th, 2008 at 9:14 am
That is just nuts that out of 500,000 only 273! Doesn’t the company pay for the number of impressions, or can they just pay for the number of clicks? I am so excited that I at least got close! =-)
October 8th, 2008 at 10:33 am
Only 273 out of 500,000? That’s just sad!! But, like others have said about themselves, I don’t click on banner ads unless I really have a reason to or it’s something I’m generally interested in! WTG Suni!
October 8th, 2008 at 12:09 pm
I’m guessing 3!
October 8th, 2008 at 12:10 pm
Sorry, I forgot to scroll down. I’ts been one of those days. Congrats to the winners.
October 8th, 2008 at 7:36 pm
My guess is 15
October 8th, 2008 at 7:37 pm
Opps… sorry.. one of those days for me too.. lolzz!
October 8th, 2008 at 9:39 pm
I will have to say 1 because why would they click more than once? I never click on banner ads - they are annoying.
October 8th, 2008 at 10:10 pm
Congrats to the winners!
October 10th, 2008 at 7:49 am
i’d say 200 clicks, more or less.
