Does image ads pay more for per click????

Can any one suggest me whether to put an image or text only ad on my Blog. Which pays more per click.

 

Try one for a while, then try the other for the same amount of time and compare yourself. It can vary depending upon the site.

 

Do you have access to the new Adsense CP, the one that includes "/v3/" in the URL ?

Using that version you can go to "Performance Reports" and then on the left side of the page there is a small menu with "Sites" and a small drop-down where you can select "By Type".

If you go to "Sites" you can narrow the report down to the site in question, and then on top of the report columns there will be a box that says "By Date" that you can change to "By Type". That will give you the CTR, eCPM, etc for Text, HTML, Image, Dynamic Image, and Flash units.

 

text links are proven to most niche so i guess text links is better.

 

In my experience I've received more per click using text links than image links.

 

I don't like image ads as an AdSense publisher but like it as an AdWords advertisers. As an advertiser, I can take over all the pixels with my ads and pay a pittance. As an AdSense advertiser. Image ads pay less, my experience.

 

no it does not depend on image...it depends on advertiser how much they pay....images may impress visitors ...

 

text links are known to pay more

 

I think this is the best strategy cause only you know what your site is about and the types of ads you get.

 

AdWords advertisers pay less for image ads than they do for text ads, so it should stand to reason that your cut would be lower with the image ads than with the text ads.

 

This is fully depends upon your site layout and contents.

If you have more contents then suppose you have more users to read texts then you can have text ads in same format and color which will show text related to contents and user may clicked on it.

Same way if you have more images in site or full articles/news then it would be good if you use image type of ads.

 

I believe image ads have higher CTR on generic sites, as the catch someones attention easier, but overall pay less. On very specific niche sites I believe text links work better, as they have about the same if not higher CTR rate compared to image ads there and seem to pay better, this is the result of all the test I've done at least.

 

From my experience text links pay more and also more clicks as well

 

I am under the impression that image ads are paid for CPM ( so number of clicks does not matter, only pageview matter) . Am i wrong?

 

In my case, image ads are more likely to attract links but payout ratio depends on other factors like geographic location of the link and time of the click etc.

 

Images are sometime not very relevant, so chances of less clicks and also you will get less per click. Text links are best.

 

Yes text links are best and give maximum output

 

ctr for text links is high in most of the times

 

Thank You All!!! I think I can conclude the answer Now !!!!! Thanks a Lot....

 

Using both of them is good.
But most of the time you will get better rate in text links only.
