		<description>I noticed the widgets here and the banners on &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.compassion.com/share/freestuff/Promote.htm&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;compassion.com&lt;/a&gt;.  My suggestion is to make banners and widgets in the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.iab.net/iab_products_and_industry_services/1421/1443/1452&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;standard IAB ad unit dimensions&lt;/a&gt; which are used by &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.google.com/adsense/static/en_US/AdFormats.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Google&lt;/a&gt; and others.  Why?  Beyond any kind of research that went into developing these specific sizes, many blog and web site templates are designed to accommodate these dimensions.

Also, only half the widgets seem really &quot;clickable&quot; having obvious buttons.  Along these lines, the &quot;everywhere else&quot; widget uses a really weak-blue-color link.  On my blog, I increased my banner CTRs by switching from a non-blue to a strong, standard color blue link, but YMMV. :)


Just my two cents.  :)</description>
