What Is "Image Ads" In AdSense ?

As this DP thread says.

1. What is "Image Ads" in AdSense ? Is it like just a banner-ad ?
2. Is it the same as "images close to AdSense text ads" ?
2. Is the CTR of "images close to AdSense text ads" is more than "just text ads" without any images next to them ?

 

1) ads using images only
2) what do you mean? They both look different
2) Yes you can do this. It's kind of like an alternative to images.

 

I also agree with 8everything

 

1) Yes they are banners. With adsense, you wouldn't get paid by PPC ( Per Per Click)with them, but instead you'd get paid per 1k impressions.
2) No its not, there are some webmasters who put their own images next to Adsense Text Ads, they do that to bring more attention to the ad. Though this is against TOS of Adsense.
3) Yes, that's the reason why they would put images close to their text ads. Many webmasters that I know of put a good looking women next to their ads, knowing that the visitior will glance at it, and think that the ad corresponds with it on some cases.

 

do you use adsense at all or do you just make blogs and put 37 banners on them?

image ads can be cpm and so can text ads,but mostly they are ppc.
weather image ads have a higher ctr depends on the site and what ad is showing.the cpc on image ads tend to be lower though.

 

you can use the images (small images not banners) near your adsense but before you do this i suggest you to read http://adsense.blogspot.com/2006/12/ad-and-image-placement-policy.html

 

i dont like how they changed the rules on how you can use images by your adsense

 

Tnx for the link.

 

I think you mean on how we CANNOT use images by Adsense ads.

I never tried it before, so I didn't see any difference .

yeah it's kind of banner but in many different size and style. always rotate as same as text . youc an choose to show both text and images ads at the sme time. ^^

2. Is it the same as "images close to AdSense text ads" ?
"images close to AdSense text ads" is the image you put near to the ads.
image ads is the ads itself. so it's different.

2. Is the CTR of "images close to AdSense text ads" is more than "just text ads" without any images next to them ?

it varies for each per son. for me it's less than text ads. and i didnt put any image next to my ads.

 

I make blogs and put 37 banners on them and pocket in over $200 per day and sleep happily.

That doesn't mean that I don't know anything about adsense.
