Banners are branded graphics that have a referral tracking link included in the embed code. Referral partners who have strong website traffic can embed banner ads onto website, driving traffic for the business. When the referral partner's website visitor clicks on the banner, they will go to the specified web page. Some referral partners may also use banners in email newsletters or other email marketing. Referral partners can copy the banner code from the Referral Partner Center and paste it into an email or website.
