    What generally pays more out of Google's text ads, link ads, and image ads? Per click that is.

    I would think Image ads, I have never done an A/B comparison though.

    Text ads all the way... contextual advertising doesn't really apply when it comes to images...

    Your best bet is to a/b test image ads versus text ads with the same size ad unit and with the same placement. the data from that test will give you sufficient information that will help you determine the use of image ads vs. text ads. i presently use image ads and i am seeing a better ctr with them over text ads. based on my historical data, text ads have not performed as well as they use to for me. i think site visitors are becoming "ad blind" to adsense text ad units.

    With the little experiences I've had, I think text links are the best.
