Banner advertising costs are tracked in 2 ways:

Cost per Click (CPC) - Online banner advertising with CPC means you only pay a fee when someone actually clicks on your banner and goes to your website. The click through rate varies greatly based upon website topic and target audience.

Cost per Thousand (CPM) - Web banner advertising with CPM means that you pay a set fee per thousand times (impressions) your banner is viewed. CPM costs can vary, from as low as $10 and up to $50 per CPM depending on how targeted the website traffic is. So if the cost for banner advertising is $10/M (Per one thousand impressions) and that your campaign cost $500, your banner will be viewed 50,000 times.

Banner Design Tips

Here are some tips, in no particular order, on how to design effective banners:

Keep your message short and simple.

Use a large font size for your message text.

Use attractive images to grab the viewer's attention.

Use attention grabbing words like "FREE" and "NOW". "FREE" is a very powerful incentive for the viewer to click on the button. Example: Receive a FREE report on how to succeed in real investment"

Convey your "Unique Selling Proposition". Make an offer they can't refuse. Show them you are different than your competition. Give them reasons why they should do business with you and not your competitors.

Don't use bold bright colors, such as bright yellow, bright red, lime green, etc.

Call to action: Encourage action from the viewer. Put "Click Here!" "Click Now!" somewhere on the banner, usually in the bottom right hand corner.

Create different versions of the banner. Test different banners to improve your click-through rate.

Animate your banner, but use as few frames as possible to convey your message. No one is going to wait to read through 10 frames of animation just to find out what your banner is about.

Add a border to your banner to make it stand out from the page. Most people use a blue or black border.

Although most sites accept a maximum file size of 10kb or 12kb, we recommend that you keep the file size as small as possible. The quicker the download, the more likely your banner will be seen, before they have scrolled down the page.

Do not hesitate to use humor to convey your message.

How to Measure Success With Your Banner ad Campaign:

It is crucial for every marketer to accurately track his advertising results. In the direct marketing industry, marketers track the responses to their direct mail pieces so that they know which ads work best, which headlines are winners and which products/services sell.

For the online marketer, it is just as important to track your ad results. Knowing the exact response rate to your advertisement enables you to know how well it performed and this knowledge can help maximize your profits.

If an ad is not performing satisfactorily, improve upon it. Change the headlines, ad copies, graphics or layout and re-test the ad. Always test your ads on a smaller scale before launching a full advertising campaign. That's how successful marketers do.

Tracking your ad results also allow you to verify and compare  that the publisher has delivered what you paid for. If you are supposed to get 50,000 clicks you will be able to compare with the results the publisher gave you since all publishers offer their own tracking tools. All publishers have their own real-time tracking system.

The most basic way to track online ad results is to measure clickthrough,  how many people clicked on your advertisement. There are other vital measurements such as conversion ratio. But measuring clickthrough is good for a start.
