    If so how are they converting for you? I ran a couple campaigns about a year ago. Cheap clicks but nothing seemed to convert. Almost seemed like a complete scam by Google.

    Any feedback is appreciated.

    When running image ads, I recommend you find highly targeted sites pertaining to your niche. Let's say that's exotic dogs.

    Find a popular site for exotic dogs (example: ILoveExoticCanines.com).

    Enter your image campaign then select content network only and make iloveexoticcanines.com the only site to recieve your ads.

    Low-ball the CPC and give it time. You'll start to get clicks and your QS will eventually meet your bid.

    I would say Image ads are good for branding. Even though you don't get clicks, but user sees your logo and that could leads to confidence in making a purchase from you in the future

    Never tried the image ads before with adwords. Though the contextual advertising works a charm as long as you can set up your ad right.

    John is spot on. Fellow Canadian to boot. Although low-balling the CPC is not what I'd do.

    I am also kind of thinking about image hosting for my forum.
