A web banner is a famous method of online advertising which was started before other methods of online adverting on World Wide Web (www). This method of online marketing entails embedding an advertisement into a web page.

The main reason for this form of advertising is attracting the traffic of web users to a website by linking to the website of the advertiser through the banner. Therefore, internet users will access the website once they click on the advertisement banner which is shown in another similar website. These advertisements can be in different formats from an image (GIF, JPEG, PNG), or JavaScript or even flash files. Images are the high-demand ratio shape between advertisers.

This kind of advertising could be via affiliate programs or direct advertisements on the same domains and have fixed costs for per thousand clicks or based on monthly contracts. Google also has a Pay Per Click Banner advertising on its Partners Websites.
