In my experience text ads get more clicks than image ads the reason being I think image ads are recognized by viewers as advertisement from the start but text ads may look as more options rather than advertisement. In my experience I have received more clicks from text ads
Yeah I agree with MCD. I have observed spikes of traffic hitting adsense when there are text ads. And also, text does provide several options because of the contextual ads we serve. Ads are focused on a single product which might not be needed by the visitor. Would like to hear other's views too!
yes i agree image get better result then the text ads. When i change all to image i get better result.
My experience is same. I believe text ads gets better click-through rate than image ads. Image ads has only one message where text ads may have more than 3/4 piece of text.
Completely new people on internet click on image ads. While the one who are experienced a little bit click on text ads. But I see more clicks on Image ads on my site. - Mr.President -
i am getting good result from image ads, people like to click on image ads because it seems little bit attraction.
These days I'm seeing more clicks on my image ads. This might be a good change in the behavior of visitors.
i have honestly been dealing with this for over 6 months now. I have not seen any difference in my pay from image ads to text ads. for two months i did all text ads and then the next two i did all image ads. The clicks were about the same granted i made about $12 more with the image ads but i think that was due to a traffic spike a few days in the last month of my tests. I think image ads will prevail. I have left image ads on my site for now and we shall see once my traffic builds.
I find on my jokesite that the image ads are clicked more than the tex ads. The ratio is about 5 to 1 on image ads.
