* Opera Browser Banners *
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Opera's browser banners offer a unique advertising solution because
browser banner ads are incorporated into the browser interface.
Integrated browser ads in the interface create higher impressions
than those provided by traditional Internet advertising on Web pages
because Opera's users do not leave the browser interface while
surfing. Unlike other ads, you do not pay when the browser ad
is covered by reloads or other applications.
The average Opera user is extremely knowledgeable about computers
and the Internet. She is online almost every day, shops online,
has a college degree, and is interested in computers and technology,
science and entertainment.
If this is your target audience, consider advertising with Opera.
