There are many different software options available for highlighting particular specials, products, or third party websites to the visitors who come to your website. In the pioneering days of the Internet, banner ads were all the rage. This quickly led to banner blindness on the part of most websurfers.

To save the day came the first evolution of popover creators. These worked by invoking a framed browser session either behind or over the webpage that your visitor was busy reading! Unsurprisingly, most people found these pretty annoying, and the counter-attack came from popup-blockers, which soon became commonly installed on browser toolbars and the most popular browsers.

Then a new evolution of dhtml popups came of age. Rather than opening a new browser window, these would overlay a popup note, hover ad, or fly-in ad within your existing browser session. They are less annoying and much more difficult for popup blockers to detect and eliminate. There are many varieties: from note popup designs, to fade-in lightbox overlays, to slide in and fly-in windows. They can be attractive to the eye as well as very versatile, allowing you to embed audio snippets, optin forms or a video right into the fly in ads.

Software continues to progress of course, and the newest evolution of attention generating programs allow you to add webpage peel graphics to the corners of your webpages. These are far less intrusive than even the newest evolution of popovers, and yet they garner a good response rate from visitors. A Peel Away Ad example can be seen on the following webpage about Hans Jakobi, advertising the Success University website.

There are multiple peel away ads programs available. Some are better than others. The more rudimentary ones only enable you to show a small 500px squared peel, and when clicked, they open a new browser window by default.

The more fully featured ones enable you to choose between 500px squared and larger 600×800 pixel ads, enable you to choose whether they will open a new browser window or not, and will enable you to add scrolling text both over your small animated peel as well as your large peel back image. The most affordable program which provides all of these advanced features is v2 of PeelAwayAds.net. At only $17, it is in effect a package of four scripts. One for 500px squared corner page peels, one for rotating and split testing your corner page peels, one for affiliate promotion, and the version 2 script for the 600×800 pixel peel ads with scrolling overlay text options.
