So as the Marketing guy what I really need to do is have the bottom banner attached to your cursor. As you move it around, the banner follows. Obviously I'd make it so the banner move to the left or right depending on where you were on the screen so as to ensure it wasn't blocking anything important (ie. other banners).
It's not like the marketing people didn't try, didn't they? :laugh:

With regards to our banners, having it at the very, very bottom fits with 3, but could possibly be affected by 3a: it would be lost. The trick is not losing it without violating 4.
At least for you it's all about placing as many ads on a page as you can without affecting the intended user experience. This is way better than to just punch a user with as many ads as you can before he leaves and never returns. :) I regularly encounter those sites with these newsletter popus as well (usually by following links from the daily news). But those definitely aren't sites that I keep visiting after that. The hassle simply isn't worth the chance of finding valuable or interesting content. Some news pages used to suggest some other article with a small box on the bottom right. The content then rotated through different articles there. Found this kinda nice, but I don't really see it anymore. I supposed, that didn't really catch on.
