    Text ads.. Image ads are normally made for CPM ads and have a low CPC.

    Probably the text will perform better but if you are talking about a forum fo example, which has low CTR in average, probably the skycraper could perform better.
    Only testing will answer this...

    text ad units always perform better but not the link units. some sites do well with link units but most do very poorly because visitor have to click twice for you to get paid. use text ad units but every site can be unique and you should test several options till you figure out which one works best for your site

    text ads surely,
    though image ads sometimes pay-per-impression

    text two 250*250 one below the other. Works wonders.

    Usually Text ads will outperform image ads, however I do have one site where my earnings triple when I have image ads on, so the best way is to test, Use image ads only, tesxt ads only, or both and see which format earns you the most from say 10,000 visitors.
