Do not underestimate the power of link units

    I've never placed link units on one of my sites (do not ask for url) - until today - and surprisingly I got 14 clicks in one day :D
    I'm using only one 468x15 link unit and I had no idea it can convert so well. I know it might depend on your niche and placement but try link units as well - they can do miracles :)

    Do not overestimate the power of link units.

    Everything is relative and there are no absolutes.


    The point being people should test the available ad units and see what works for them.

    WoW. I usually use the banners and squares. I will try the links, starting today.

    14 clicks - that's Awesome. Imagine that (or more) everyday. Ching$. ching$.

    +1 for link units.

    Try different placements man, you will see more clicks. Link units are good, depends on the placement :D ;)

    -1 for link units. There are better options. than something that requires 2 clicks to get paid.

    Sure there are, but link units can make you some money while using other options.
    Sure they are, but we are saying link units can work and it's something that is worth a try - for those who haven't tried link units. On some of my sites, link units work good and on others they don't. But I do get a little money for free while having these link units. In any case, we should stick with what works for our sites :)

    People will really click your ads no matter what type of ads and sizes it is especially if you only put one ad on your site.

    Well I have added Link Ads few days ago and I am getting more clicks on that in comparison to text and image ads.... but the payout is less... I am confused as whether to continue with link ads or not.

    Everything is possible as long as you are doing your homework... Sometimes, you can't even think where the money come from.. :)

    It depends. On some sites link units work and on some sites ad units. Same is the case with text and image ads

    I can confirm the method works even the second day (5 clicks in 6 hours) so I recommend link units if you haven't tried yet.

    Do not overestimate the power of link units either. For me, they pay shit.
