Mustapha,

I agree with you on the vertical ad orientation. It is not the greatest format. But have a loot at my site http://www.360east.com. It’s not too bad. And I do hope we’ll have you on this or a future campaign.

Having said that, this is our first campaign and we’re happy that it’s for a great client like Air Arabia who understand the power of the net (they sell a lot of tickets online).

After this test, we’ll be in a better position to advise companies on what the best blog friendly ad formats are. We also want to give bloggers the choice between different format for every campaign.

We’re all still learning here :)

I was thinking maybe there was a technical solution where we can float the entire thing to the right of the wrapper like you’ve done on your main page.

Could the technical guy advise if its feasible on blogspot?

Thanks again

Well Mustapha we realize that. However, we can’t always obligate the advertiser to give us the banner sizes we want. I hope we’ll offer various banners in future campaigns.

I think it’s a great program, but, I have a remark concerning the first campaign:

The skyscraper format will simply not “fly” with most of the itoot bloggers. most of us have 2 column blogs and the information on the right is just too important for us to push down.

I registered to the program but because of the format, i’ll simply forgo the Al-arabiya campaign..
