Should we replace the Text Images on our Site with Text Links?

Should we use Images or Text Links for navigation?

    Hi guys,

    We recently released our new Price Comparison site ( http://www.seewhosells.com ) out of beta and are still currently fine-tuning the design, some people have suggested that we take the fonts (like the "Deals of the Week" line" and change them to text so that they lose the pixellation.

    What do you all think? :confused: It will help with SEO to have the links as text too right?

    Opinions would be greatly appreciated :cool:

    You got to think also about how it looks to users and not just to a bot, why not try having both and depending on coversion rates change them out.

    cool site... great design..

    I do agree on the 'DOtW' pixelation...
    little bit of anti-alias in photochop should fix that though..

    Those buttons wouldn't be much different if they were text and you'll find it easier to expand the categories.

    I agree, but some of our brain trust argued that they "prefer" it the way it is now :/
