"click here" on banners

[fresh]

so looks that if there is a text "enter here" on sponsor banner is bad
"click here" too? Just looked at the banners and all had clcik here or enter here on them...so what make a site without baners

[ladydesigner]

I only have a problem with the banners that say "Enter Here" if it's on the index page of your free site. Surfers are looking to "Enter" your site to see the free pics/movies. If they see a big flashing "ENTER HERE" on a banner and click to the paysite, that's a big blind link and a no-no.

I (and most others I know of) don't have a problem with the words "click here" on banners.

Yep, ladydesigner is correct.
Steer clear of the word "Enter" anywhere on that first page and you should be fine. I'm starting to experiment with dropping the "Click Here" text too to try and get some of that juicy Hoes traffic, as Hoes reviewers don't particularly like "Click Here".
Trouble is "Click Here" is very powerful text and very much needed. Trying to replace it with "Go Here" or "Look Here" or "Get It Here" or "Don't Click Here Unless You Want The Best......" etc etc just doesn't have that same click-pulling-power.


I've had a few successful freesites with zero banners by the way.
I've also had some success with writing stories to go along with a set of pics in the galleries. It's quite entertaining to think up a scenario and try and build the arousal of the surfer with a story.
Here's an example of one of those mini-stories that snagged a few sales:

I've no problems with CLICK HERE either.

My only problem with it is that it's so boring I have to remind myself to add it in on my own sites, otherwise I completely forget.

I can vouch for this sort of practice with my own sites too.
