Presently, the best ad format for a blog is 125x125. You may check out great blogs like ProBlogger, BloggerBuster, etc... These people use 125x125 ad spaces mostly rather than any other ad format. These dimensions are very perfect to display text and banner ads attractively and more over, they remain in the side bar permanently and do not interfere much with the blog's content.

Follow these simple steps to include an Advertise Here banner as shown in my blog.
1. Create a post specifying the importance of advertising in your blog. This should include an approximate amount of page views per month in your blog. You may also include Google page rank, Alexa rank and other stuffs which you feel will convince the advertiser.
2. As always, you need to back up your template before making any changes in the code. Navigate to "Layout>>Edit HTML" from your dashboard and download the template there.
3. Now, Navigate to "Layout>>Page Elements" page. Click on "Add a Gadget" and select "HTML/JavaScript". Take a preview of what I am saying below.4. Paste the following piece of code in the box that appears.

<a href="YOUR BLOG DETAILS URL"><img border="0" width="125" src="http://img60.imageshack.us/img60/2389/advertisehere.gif" height="125"/></a>

5. Replace "YOUR BLOG DETAILS URL" with the post URL that you made in step one. That is it. Now, save your code and take a look at your blog.

You may use these banners too instead of the one used in my blog.
| Banner One | Banner Two | Banner Three |
Click on each of the links and view the banners. Note: To change the banner image, you need to change the URL pointing to the image and not the link pointing to your site. That is, replace following code:

src="http://img60.imageshack.us/img60/2389/advertisehere.gif"

with the following code for the "Banner One" link

src="http://img198.imageshack.us/img198/9649/advert125x125.png"

Look at the URL carefully, it has been changed. So, you just need to change the URL and nothing else is required. Come on bloggers!! Add this widget to your blog too and show the advertisers that your blog is worth advertising!!!
