Tailgate is helping the banner ad make a fresh new comeback
We have learned to pay little attention to those banner ads that loom at the top and sides of websites everywhere.

People will buy from banners on sites they trust.
Also, this type of technology is also being used for the mobile content site www.bikinicocktailgirls.com to sell mobile content directly from a banner. Further, the banner can be syndicated, as I’ve seen it on a number of MySpace sites.
