BIX banner rules for all members

Do you want to use the BIX = banner exchange to publish a banner and have not prepared it yet ?
In case you have not used the service until now you maybe do not know that the banner for MarketHive has some specific features.

It is not the usual size 468x60pix used for instance on traffic exchanges or other most used size. Your banner has to be 960x80 pix.

If you click on BIX and then My banner ads you can read there the following conditions for publishing:
Banner rules and standards are as follows:
No adult content, hate speech, porn or otherwise controversial material.
          Design rules:
Ensure your banner is sized to 960px x 80px.
No Borders
Backgrounds must be white
Images must not touch the border and can only be 20% of the banner area
Unprofessional banners or those that violate these guidelines will be rejected.
Animated banners (gif) are accepted.
Low resolution, chopping edged fonts, will be rejected.

For designing the banner yourself you can find also some online programs which will help you with it. I myself make my banners with different programs which I use as well for working with my photos as hobby photographer.
Here some example of two banners I made to be used here

After you upload your banner you have to wait until it is approved.

           Good luck in using this wonderful feature
