    hi
    i think image is the one, if you offering the good image then you'll get more clicks on the images then to text.

    On my Websites I find that Text ads get me alot more income, Although you woulf think image ads would be more attractive to the users.

    Images are more attractive thus people click on image ads more if they are placed at a position where a visitor can see it well.
    Although cpc is sometime is higher for image ads than text ads. But mostly its text ads which pay you more.

    You actually can track the data from your adsense account.
    By the way, It highly depends on your niche, those entertainment/game niche works better with image ads and those finance/lawyer niche work better with text ads

    Hey Matt -

    Really depends on the type of site you are running. I run a lot of sites that are article related so my text ad units make me a TON more money then images or interactive ones. But I still normally keep my Adsense units set to all so I can get the best of both worlds. Pick up the earnings everywhere. I still get some earnings from the image ads too. I've done tests where I did only text images and it didn't increase my earnings at all so I stuck with all types of ads.

    Hope that helps.

    Yeah exactly what lifeplayer said. Check your stats and see which type of ad is earning you money. But I'd stick with both types of ads.

    in my opinion, the image ads have high CTR but low value clicks, while for text ads instead

    It depends on your traffic. There are visitors that more interested to click image and it also visitors that click the text, it depends on many factors brother. I recommend you to use "Text & Image" as Adsense says it will gives us more clicks.

    I believe image ads attract more click.
