Hi

With adsense you have three options with your adverts

text only
Text & image/rich media ads

Image/rich media ads only

Out of those three I'd presume that "text only" is the best converter and best ad type to have on your page. Is this true? If not which is best for getting people to click?

    Depends. Need more info on the niche, ad placement etc.

    For me image only banners and the large box ads work best.

    Test them all and see which works is the best advice I can give.

      It depends on your niche and content. If your visitors are looking for a solution to a problem, they're more inclined to click around so text ads normally do better in that situation.

      If your content has more of an entertainment point of view or just news in general, image ads tend to perform better but are rarely better than text ads. But you've to test around and see what works for you in particular.

      Actually, having both image and text ads tends to be better for you because there are more ads competing for space on your site that way, which increases the CPC, which in return increases your earnings.

    It depends on your website. For some website and some designs, image ads work better and for some others, both of them can be used. I myself think text ads make more money than image ones but its not guaranteed. Maybe some image ads generate more money than text ones and some text ads generate more than image ones.

    its a standard fact that generally the 336x280 text box always works the best

    i always use it wrapped with content as per googles recommendation

    oh and also the 160x600, doesnt work as well but its the best vertical ad

      Actually, it's a standard fact that each site stands alone.
      You have to test, test, test, then keep testing. In fact,
      you never stop. If people would read google, even they
      tell you to mix things up from time to time. Your site
      gets stale. Ad blindness.

      Some sites cannot fit all ad sizes. Again, it's all about
      your site.

      Nobody should even attempt to answer the question.

      Google tells you to use image and text to get more
      bidders in the mix. But, some people think images suck, so
      they tell you otherwise.

      Nobody should be running your site except you.

      Only by testing with colors, sizes, and placements will
      you know.

      Just for fun, I decided to look at my custom channels.

      160x600 got the most clicks and most money.
      Next is 728x90, but got the highest CPC.
      My 336x280 got the most impressions, least amount
      of clicks and money.

      But those stats are meaningless to anyone buy me.

      If you were disappointed in your results today, lower your standards tomorrow.

    For me 336X280 works best. Many people complain about image ads paying a low amount, but having high click thru rate. Varies from site to site generally however.

    I think media can be good, but typically text is a winner as others have said. It really does depend on its placement though. Remember max 3 a page!

    It basically depends on the site, if you are providing services then you can use text ads but if you are providing products then you can go with text and image.
