Is there any difference in the number of impressions I get on other sites if I choose Graphic/Text banner, text banner or just a text link?? A text link only would make less "clutter" on my site, but it's not as effective for the "advertiser" as an graphic or text banner......... So what should I choose? How do you calculate the number of impressions I "earn"? Thank.
No, regardless if you show text banners, graphic banners or plain text links, you do not get higher/lower weight based on how you display ads. Use a text link if you want to keep it uncluttered. If you want to change it, you will want to clear your ad_network_ads.txt file... as that will have different formats cached in it. Check #10 in the FAQ for some info on the weight assignments... the biggest factor is how many unique pages you display ads on.
Thanks. I'll experiment a bit with both text banners and text links only.. Don't want to clutter up my forum too much, but I want to be a bit helpfull to the "advertisers" as well..
