I know most of you have selected both image and text ads for your adsense format. But what is your experience over image only ads ? Do they convert visitors to clicks more? have you tried image only ads too?
Text ads gets more click than image ads Images ads get more earnings than text ads this is my experience
let me have my say on this::: If you have excessive of text content on your page then its always recommended to have text ads because its make a similar impression and this pertain visitors to click on those ads... vice verse - if you have some image gallery or something similar you can use image ads or may be on the page where you have image more than text then also you can use image ads it will produce high yield hope this helps...
For me text ads mostly pays more, but image ads gives me high CTR. I use combination of both text and image ads. I mostly use text ads. placing ads above the fold will give you good CTR
On a few blogs and forums of mine, I have a large rectangle (image) next to a large rectangle (text). Here are some firgures from one such forum. free-advertising-forum3 LR i -- average=$0.35 (18 clicks) free-advertising-forum3 LR t -- average=$0.22 (8 clicks) The image only ad unit has had twice as many clicks and a higher value.
Image ads just look nicer on a site but I think theres more chance of people clicking the text ads especially on a forum if you put them in posts.
Well, personally I prefer image ads; they look better and adds to the design and colors of the site itself Although, I am speaking of a blog that's updated frequently and has tons of unique informative content...
I have tried image and text ads on my sites and from experience, text ads almost always perform better. I've switched to fully text ads for my sites these days.
image ads are good,pay more then the text ads,but only if you have selected both text ads and image on your ads,because if you select only ads,you will get less money on clicks
The best option is to select both image and text ads, that way google will display the highest paying ads on your site, if you choose image or text only, your potentially loosing out on higher performing ads.
Most veterans recommend text ads? But statistics prove that images are better? I'd like to revert back to image and text ads later on.
i have bad exp with image ads for exmp: 10 click on image ads = 1 or sometime less then that and with text 10 click i get 1.5 to 2.5 i think test is the best and specially the 460*60 one
It really depends on the ad placement. I notice that I get many clicks when I put an image ad at the center of the page below the header.
To each his own is that right? I'm still on my 20th click for my blog so I don't know what are better. Keep those replies coming.
