I dicided two days ago to change all of my ads to image only, and my earnings doubled from about $5 to $10 a day. Not bad for an easy adjustment.
I did the same about a month ago (not all of them but most) and noticed about the same, double revenue.
But that's if there's someone clicking on your ads, right? Does it mean that image ads are more appealing?
yeah sometimes it depends on the look of the website.. Other website earn more money with image ads rather than text ads.. but i prefer image+text ads.. thats the one im using and my ecpm is steady..
Of course image ads are better, that is one of the reasons so many people get banned for putting images next to the ads..this is better cause its goog legal....
I think it's because if you use texts, you will display 1,2,3 or 4 ads in an ads layout, but with an image, there will be only one ads because it contains only one image, and i think it should get more $ for the ads. cmiiw
There aren't that many individual ads for images though. 8/10 times, the same advertisement will appear for the "AdTextGenerator" tool! As I type this, it is even on the above banner, at the top of the page.
Happy to know your Opinion, But I learned some conventional way to increase the earning only by Text ad not by Image. Anyways, I will keep it in mind.
Its about test, test and test.... Test which kind of ads suit your blog..... Not every blog are the same.... Some of my blog better with just text ads and some are better with image ads....
It is a general opinion among the webmaster community that the image ads don't pay well when compared to text ads. Of course, it may vary depending upon the niche and position of ads. Just do the experiment an see what fares well for you and stick on with it
I've given it a go, changed all of my ads at a forum to images - I'l let you know if I have any success
For my header ad I use image banner ads. On sidebar is contextual-image (combination) And below contents - only contextual!
