Great question as so many of us are using these in our advertising.
We've heard mention of the K.I.S.S. system in the forum lately. K.I.S.S. means Keep It Simple Stupid.
I really believe that this is the best advise I would give any one designing a splash page. To many times you come across pages that are so cluttered it makes it very difficult to read. I close out of these very quickly.
I think all you need is 3 items.
1. The question. (Do you need extra cash?) (or something along those lines)
2. A few quick Statistics. (Read Gery's New Year Message)

Obviously all the examples above need a bit of tweaking.
This is especially important if you're using traffic exchanges where the splash page is only shown for a few seconds. You need to grab peoples attention real quick in that instance.
Don't go mad with graphics, sounds or even videos on a splash page, chances are they won't even have time to load before the next ad appears. Save these for your website.
I hope this helps a little bit at least.
