Worst banner of the year? (NSFW)

LOL.... figured I'd share this with ya'll.... we've been laughing our asses off with this one all day long.

hired a few banner designers on odesk to do some animation banners for a big porn affiliate... So far, not going too well.

one of the 4 dudes (indian guy) sent me a banner sample this morning and I swear.... this has gotta be the worst BANNER OF THE YEAR. :-)

you're either gonna laugh your ass off, or puke. (sorry if its the latter)

Keep in mind, i sent them a swipe file of like 40+ banners from different niches, sent him the copy and gave him specific directions.

WTF?!?!?

hahahahaha..thats disgusting..nice hairy beer belly...i would pay to NOT get laid by "her"...haha..


odesk is hit or miss...especially banner design is pretty hard to outsource..i'm looking for a good banner designer for months but in the end it takes more time to explain them what you need than doing it yourself..so i always end up doing it myself with way better results...but if anybody can hook me up with a talented banner designer that understands the affiliate business let me know

LOL... sorry guys.... hey, great for a laugh though.

didnt pay yet.... i mean, shit, i cant pay for that.. i can design better than 99% of those fools with my eyes closed and drunk... but i f'n hate doing animated banners.

I've been having a hard time finding decent designers on oDesk, I should have kept some of the sample work I've gotten, but this takes the cake.

BTW... you should test it would make a nice case study.

HAHAHA... dude, omg... if that thing worked i think i'd haveta quit marketing. j/k

the affiliate saw it and almost threw up from laughing... dont think he's gonna run that thing.... but hey... it might work REAAAALLY well for nigerian porn or something like that. :-)

It could be the new 2 girls 1 cup...

Hell there might be a market for it. There's some pretty strange people out there.

lol.... oh man that 2girls thing is scary.... lol.

shit, i'd pay NOT to get laid by that chick. :-)

told the guy the banners aren't what we were looking for.... and sent him 30 more samples.

Lets see what he comes up with next. LOL

LOL

But why not split test it anyway

this might work for a tranny campaign or something equally gross.

have to change the adcopy tho to something like : Once upon a time I was a man with a beer belly. Now my clit is my dick! wanna hook up?!

The stats don't lie, and the do say "ugly banners" get more clicks.. split test it mate

I didn't sent across my designer's samples as I thought they weren't good enough (Moreover they did it in flash). But if you are getting this kind of work then I think I should send them as it may take less time for my guys to know what kind of banners to create.

split test that MOFO... FOR SCIENCE! :-D
