    In case no one has noticed, most pages within digitalpoint.com come up with the same 2 ads at the top. Which means they are SiteTargetting and paying per impression, not click.

    CTR was much better with the banner ads vs. AdLinks, so I switched it up a bit. Guests (if you aren't logged in), you see a banner like before... users just see the AdLinks.

    Sorry to hear adlinks did not perform as well as banners. As you said they really look elegant.

    The banners don't look terrible either (you can see them if you log out of your account and look at a thread), but they are too big to subject users to them IMO.

    LOL........ That is me..... well I'm one that like the idea so I had it installed on one of my forums. Actually put adsense after the first post on forums has been around I just like how Shawn did it with just the text links. It looks better not so trashy looking.

    BTW, Shawn has a link I gave him from a while back http://www.site-sift.com/105 :)
