Contextual and Placement - What is the difference?

    Hi

    I got a $7.82 click from adsence on one of my sites last week. Normal clicks on this niche range from 0.03cents to 0.25cents so it was a lovely surprise :D

    I have gone in further to get more information about this click, and found that all of my other clicks are coming from contextual ads. This large click was however from a 'placement' ads. I got this information via the reports on adsence.

    What is a placement ad? What is the difference between the two?

    I have one large picture ad most of the time, so I'm a little confused but of course would like to optimise to receive more 'placement' clicks ;)

    If anyone can help, I would appreciate it

    Thanks
