flashing. text. ouch. view nominee |

Fun text, but unreadable text in the image says "we didn't have the time to worry about your eyes." view nominee |

Gee, hit the web's hippest audiences with text-only ads touting FREE STUFF. There may be some branding value in this, but there ain't no kharmic vibrations or clicks. view nominee |

Flashing image, no free text, grainy image, redundancy between the title and image text. Expect $50 CPCs! view nominee |

No text, flashing stuff, FREE! If you are fishing for dumbies, this is the right bait. view nominee |

Peddling a product that makes things bigger, this ad failed to make its own image big enough. Heck, give us a funny image with a tiny baseball players head in the midst of a 150X200 black background... it will get more clicks and make people think about what's on offer. view nominee |

Two big problems with this ad. First, this a classic case of telling, rather than telling. The product being promoted is video. Video is AN IMAGE, right. A picture is worth 1000 words... so why use a dozen words in a jpeg to describe a video service? Second, this is a news service, why not link to some specific news videos? view nominee |

Uggg. Though this ad has been ordered a number of times and so is apparently working, this ad could be a lot better. Instead of a contentless "buy this newsletter!" pitch, I'd love to see a topical image and contentful links to real content... like the rest of the ads on this page! Blog readers are info junkies, feed the jones! When you've got the goods, always show, rather than tell. In all, a good view nominee |

Fuzzy text, cluttered image, bland text describing what should zap you as one of the hottest vacation spots in the US. EB White said, "show, don't tell!" but this ad just tells. view nominee |

MTV's new Gay America channel should have offered fabulous images and flirtatious text. Instead we got slogans and logos -- branding. view nominee |

Selling nifty stuff to nifty people? GOSH, show, don't tell. view nominee |
||||
|
Need I say more? OK. Fuzzy image. No information to challenge or intrigue. A lot of telling and no showing. view nominee |

Wow, talk about missing the point of the blogosphere. You've got the attention of an influential somebody who can get 10 other people excited about your service... quick, sell him a $10 domain name. view nominee |
