Picture ads stink compared to text ads

    Ok so I changed my ads around, I'm still testing, and I put a picture banner ad up and I got a bunch of crappy 3 cent and 1 cent clicks on them. Must be fewer companies who use the graphic ads. Oh well I'm going back to text! :) Did you guys experience the same thing?

    Very interesting. I always assumed that I was making much more for those, but then again I have not been able to explain why my earnings per click has gone done in the last 3 months.

    I've read somewhere that image ads pay less than text ads. Image ads also caused banner blindness to people. Smart move on getting back to text.

    Hmm, good call. I've found my click cost to be down lately too. I think I'm going to try going back to text links too. Nice one froghat
