Especially a cloned banner that appears to be a legitimate one. I'm not much of an impulse buyer, so I'll probably stay away, anyways. Sorry for the double post. Maybe this is just another lesson in researching your product, then researching for the best price, and not to trust a single ad/price/transaction. ;D http://uktech.blognation.com/2.....he-banner/

I mean I know you state the concerns - but there has to be a way to show securities without making ever page that it is on, a secure site page. The idea is nice. Direct advertisement. I can see this having great effects with reviews and such, where the people are searching for product reviews before they buy. Now instead of doing 2 searches, they can search the review, then buy off the non-retail site via the banner ad. If implemented correctly I could see this being popular with impulse buyers.
