If you are on the business of promoting online ads, conducting studies on how webpage visitors react to certain type of ads in relation to their placement on the page, as well as their size and color, can prove to be very beneficial in terms of being able to better help your clients set up such ads on their page.
If you own a website and is considering placing ads on it, it might also be best to have broader understanding on how such ads can benefit, or harm you instead.
Below is a sample of a campaign you can run for the same purpose, although you may modify the approach or content, to exactly match your objective.
