Image Ads -> More Clicks, Less Earnings...

    I recently decided to give image ads a go on my site in place of text ads.

    As expected, the CTR rose, but the clicks are worth nearly nothing now. (Page content is identical to before)


    Text ads gave -> 8 clicks, total: $2.55
    Text ads gave -> 2 clicks, total: $1.04

    Image ads give -> 7 clicks, total: $0.54
    Image ads give -> 13 clicks, total: $1.15

    (I know it's not a great number of clicks too tongue :p

    Sorry if this is common knowledge around here, but I am fairly new to it all. Is this normal?
    Is it because there are less image-advertisers and hence less competition?

    What is your experience with the different ad types?

    Cheers :)

    Image ads always have paid the most for me, depends on your niche.

    Image Ads are low paying for most people compared to text Ads.

    I have the same experience.
    Depending on your niche image ads tend to get more clicks though...

    sometimes i like to add image adds to the site because they bring some color and liveliness to it
    but i think they pay less as well, but that could depend on the niche

    Image ads pay less on most sites. I like text and search to make the most money

    your right, there is a pretty big difference. I guess you just have to get lucky too sometimes to who is advertisng on your site and how much they are paying.

    Can't guess it because the Amount depend on keyword of the ad.. But in my opinion text ads pay well.
