Hi, there has been a lot of talk on the internet about google adsense and which is better, image or text as well as what are the best alternatives to google adsense, so i thought i would throw out the topic on here and see what real website experts think about the topic.

I have experienced google adsense image as better than text and would like to know what other people think and beside affliate ads what alternatives to google adsense do people like

Text ads gives more CTR ( Click Through Rate ) than Image Ads.

Links units works brilliant if placed on proper place.

The above is not same for all websites. Based on the type of the websites the ad performance may change.

You have to test it for every ad types colors, placement etc to find which works better.

i use google adsense on www.in2town.co.uk but i am not sure the text ads are working as since the 1st april we have not had any clicks and tried contacting google to find out if the text ads are working.

how do the image ads compare to the text ads in revenue, and the links ads, do you have a good example of how these are used. can you have three google adsense ads and a link ad or do you have to just have three in total
