With so many online stock brokers to choose from it can be tough to sort through all the advertisements you see throughout the web. It seems that the bigger the stock broker the more money they have to spend on a variety of different advertisements targeted at investors.
I went searching for online broker ads as a result and found 10 that I thought were pretty good. For the sake of fitting them all I only focused on smaller button ads.
Which one do you think best grabs your attention?
TD Ameritrade Advertisement, "No maintenance fees."
TD Ameritrade Advertisement, "$9.99 trades. No surprises."
Charles Schwab Advertisement, "Back test your trading strategies."
Charles Schwab Advertisement, "Learn how to keep more of what you make."
Scottrade Advertisement, "Up to $100 back when you switch."
Scottrade Advertisement, "No-Fee IRA."
Zecco.com Advertisement, "$0 Stock Trades."
Advertisement, "$4.95 A Trade, Join Today."
Advertisement, "Get $50. Switch now."
Etrade Advertisement, "100 Free Trades."

Etrade or Zecco gets my vote as the most "instant interest" response ad
For active trades I would say the 100 free trades is pretty attractive
The $100 cash back when you switch sounds nice, sounds like a good deal to me.
...beats Tradeking's $50 too...
I think I'll vote for Zecco.
With that color & "$0", it should catch visitors' attention & curiosity instantly.
Zero ("$0") mean FREE, Is there anythink really free in this world. Today I saw the ad of e-trade: trade free for 60 days. Plus get up to $500. Is it for real?
Yes it is real

Both Zecco and Optionshouse have great advertisement, and I'm personally using Optionshouse because they offer the cheapest commission and is great.
