I just want to second point #2. I spent 5 minutes creating some horribly ugly test ads in The Gimp, just so I could get our campaign started quickly. Afterwards I had our badass graphics guy create some beautiful banners. My ads performed 5x better than his over months.

I think sometimes pretty will sell better, sometimes ugly. It probably depends what you're selling. What were you selling?
