I am on the side that it is not. Pixel ad boards are a great way to enhance your business reputation on the web. Many people are likely to go on a web site and browse around these sites to see what they can find. I for one admit to this, the exact reason why, I, myself have set up my own website. There is even more chance that if the websites of which these pixel boards are situated on, should they have other reasons for people to visit, to give better advertising opportunities.

On my own site, www.easyclickings.com, I wish to establish an area of the site where people can submit ideas of which make them creative. These people could be like me, writing this article, musicians, game designers or authors etc.

The pixel board on my site, I believe is therefore a good choice to advertise upon as many people who visit the site for another reason are exposed to your ads and may take their time to flick through these ads. Pixel ads can also boost your business elsewhere through areas such as search engines, the more links to your website there are, the more likely your are to be noticed by search engine such as Google and Yahoo, putting you higher up their pages.

My pixel board is currently offering a few free ads along with some money off deals and is experiencing a growth in number of hits since it came online last week. We have had enquiries too and are currently dealing with these. I think this says these ads are not a fad and that they do have a place on the internet, it is those that do not make a go of their sites that gives these pixel sites a bad name.

I hope you'll recognise that pixel ads are here to stay and will visit those sites that can do much to enhance your business profile.
