@ozexec,
I am sure that they probably are quite effective if people figure that out. I remember being told years ago that the awful banners that look like windows application buttons often converted better than the sparkly casino banners did.
It usually depends on your visitors. Different traffic responds to different types of banners. It always makes sense to cycle through a few different banners and see how your visitors respond.
