    SEO Guru - Not sure what CTR you're getting but you might want to try blending your ads a bit more to see if you get a decent increase in CTR

    Thanks, I'm always trying new things, I have had a ctr of more than 10% with blended ads, earlier it was like 0.5% or something like that, but then you get greedy, you see. ;)

    Not sure if this helps, but stats from my link units (well belended at least imho) compared to my highest paying normal ad unit on one of my site.

    Normal Ad : 4 x (Link Ad clicks / CTR) , 8x (Link Ad eCPM)

    But they are doing fine, and thus i am still sticking it on my site.

    When this thread first appeared I had no link units on my sites. Since then I have tried them out and checked their progress via channels. Half of the time the blended text ads and the link ads get the same number of clicks, the other half of the time the link units get twice the number of the text ads. But whatever the ratio, my link unit clicks are earning me three times as much as the blended text ad clicks.

    So I'm glad that a) I read this thread to start with and b) I added the link units. Thanks for the tips!

    Link units perform the best when you fake them as your main navigation menu, and text blocks perform well when you wake them as your main site content. :)
