Im not sure if its just me or not but lately i have seen a decline in banners from sponsor programs with this on them, has the whole 'click here to join' animated text on banners become obsolete these days do you think?

Personally, i find that if a banner has this on it, click thrus are actually much higher than on banners without it.

Do you think call-to-actions like the old 'click here' have become obsolete and instead sponsors are opting to use alternate methods of getting clicks, like hotter models, raunchier pics, etc?
