Banner vs Anzeige

advertisement / report / display

'die Anzeige' and 'das Banner' can both refer to advertising on the internet. An 'Anzeige' is the more general term: it can appear as text, an image, or a short post, and it can also be in newspapers or on websites. A 'Banner' is a specific form of online advertising, usually a rectangular graphic that you can click on. That is why the words can be confused, especially with advertising on websites. If you are speaking about advertising in general, 'Anzeige' fits. If you mean the graphic area on a website, 'Banner' is more precise.
