Animated Banner maker for Amazon Products??

derh · 04-24-2011, 05:54 PM

Is there any decent software that I can use to make animated banners....wanting to make specific product (with photos) product banners for Amazon Sites.

I've search the web..and did not see anything that excited me.

There should be gigs on fiverr. I usually use photoshop for my animated banners :3

I tried to use Photoshop to create or edit animated .gif, but could never quite understand how to do it. I wish I could find a decent tutorial on it.

I've created my own Amazon/Adsense clone Ads before, like this. I never really pushed the Ads to test CTR.

You can find one of my old WF threads here:

Does this Violate Amazon TOS?

I know this isn't exactly what your looking for, just saying it's all basic HTML code.

Back when I did animated banners, I used Adobe After Effects to create the video and just exported it as a gif. You could always just host a contest on a place like WarriorForum or DP for the banner though.

Thanks guys...

No specific software though...Photoshop is expensive!!!

I do have gimp (love it)...but not for sure you can make flashing (animated) banners with it??

Maybe you should Google how to make flash pic with Photoshop, there are online websites providing banner making service, but they are not free.

Yukon, this seems to be an excellent idea!

What tools (plugins?) do you use to position these ads on your page/post? I think you should include the ad in some kind of 'container' like table to preserve formating and easily position the ad where you want it to be.

The easy way out would be to create the ad in Word or PowerPoint, make a screenshot and create a picture for uploading to the blog post. The problem is that you will not get the SEO benefit (except from file name and ALT tag).

Cheers!
