Text Ads vs Image Ads

    Yesterday a guy on this forum had started a thread regarding his eraning through Adsense. Short summary: His site had 98.000+ pageviews a month, and his total month eranings were below $50. As it appeared he only showed image-ads on his site.

    In the past I tried it as well, my CTR rise. Which was great, than I looked at the payout for the ads, which were very poor. In my case the ads paid +- 90% less than the text ads! Therefore I am not a big fan of image ads.

    Anyone got a good:) or bad:mad: experience with Google Image Ads?

    It would be nice to have an overview or something regarding this subject. I tried to insert a poll but I failed..:( Therefore comments please..

    In my personal experience, text link ads works well comparing to image ads, both in CTR and Earnings.. but I think it will vary depends upon the sites...

    The image ads are easy to catch the eye and yes image ads pay less than the text ads.

    I never prefer image ads over text ads. They are the text ads that give us not only maximum clicks but also give us high amount of money per click
