    Hey guys,

    Hope you are all enjoying the rest of your Labor Day Weekend!

    I am using AdSense on my website (www.Date-Rater.com) and I'm puzzled on which ad styles to use; Text Links or Banners. Which ad style do you think would suit my website best?.....I have a great spot for AdSense in the header of my website...please leave me any comments, suggestions, or even ad placement strategies to help me which style best suits my site and increase my CTR at the same time.

    Thanks in advance! :D


    ~Sean

    Text ads seem to work best. you can experiment with header and side areas.

    Banner has small CTR and stake, text ad is definitely better

    Image ads have low cpc as bidders are less

    I'll go for text ads as banners tend to turn the users off often times, your ctr will benefit if you have carefully placed text ads

    I had both in my blog, and for whatever reason text links seem to work better.

    Banner ads usually do convey more professionalism though.... useful to fill inventory when you are trying to directly sell image banner ads.

    Although some image ads by google adword advertisers ARE TERRIBLY NOOB.
