How To Use Your Own Banners
Banner Basics
When thinking about the use of the 468x60 web banner most people will immediately think about the use of an affiliate banner either on their own website or in a Squidoo Lens. What many people overlook is that web banner creation is fairly simple, especially when you start from a template.
There are many ways to promote a Squidoo Lens to draw more traffic, but the use of a 468x60 custom banner on either a Lensmaster's personal website or in another Squidoo Lens remains one of the best ways to draw traffic. People are very used to seeing the 468x60 web banner, and when they see an attractive custom 468x60 web banner they become more interested in seeing what is at the other end of the web banner.
Banners For A Squidoo Lens
Each of the banners shown below is 468 x 60 pixels in size. The banners vary in shape and design, but the primary colors used are the Orange (RGB 255,153,0) and Blue (RGB 0,81,138) as seen on virtually every Squidoo Lens.
To use one of the banners shown on this page simply right-click on the banner image and save the graphic to your local hard drive. Once the banner is on your system you can use the banner graphic as the foundation for your own banner design.
If you have a graphic design program like Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, Microsoft Image Composer, Corel Draw, or Xara Xtreme, you can download some excellent freeware graphic programs such as Gimp or Open Office Draw. You might also look at Freeware Files for additional graphic editors.

- Flip That Lens On Squidoo For Pure Profit!
- Squidoo has a lot of potential - not only for those who use the website to build a Squidoo Lens where they link to their own products or affiliate items, but also for those who want to get into VRE (Virtual Real Estate) with zero cost and zero risk.
We all know that for a long time, people have made money buying domains and selling them. Squidoo's a little different. A Squidoo Lens is not a domain - but can sell your Squidoo Lens and Squidoo even provides an in-house marketplace just for that purpose!
Squidoo Lens has the potential to perform great in Google, and many marketers want to capitalize on that fact without spending any time themselves trying to figure out how Squidoo works and building the content that goes into it. - The Complete Guide To Social Networking
- What was once a strange little "toy" for bloggers is rapidly maturing into the Next Big Thing. Millions of people are abandoning traditional search engines and directories in favor of social bookmarking services.
That can -- and should -- put a big lump in your throat unless you have a solid understanding of the social bookmarking phenomena.
Not only are you missing these people now, every minute more users are wandering away from the "old ways" and are joining them. Social bookmarking is changing the way people use the web.
This new user-driven means of categorizing and ranking resources is fluid, flexible, non-hierarchical, democratic and GROWING. It defies our usual expectations about how people can find us and our offers.
