[Adsense] Image ads vs. Text ads

I think it really depends on your blog and target audience too. But I found text ads inside each post (300x250) more effective than image texts.

I know Google puts lots of effort to persuade people to use both, but really, image ads rarely work for me...

What is your experience?

    Sure glad you ask these questions as I was just going to start a thread for the same.

    I just had an adsense site made by a warrior firm and we had a discussion about this.

    Per the site maker, text ads pay more that image but get fewer clicks, image ads pay less but get more clicks??

    I have trouble understanding this looks like the price would be the same although the CTR could be different.

    How do you get Google to shows ads that are revelant to your website?

    I changed all my sites to text ads only, my adsense income is down last few days but I think it is because the ads do not match the sites, I mean if you are loking to buy baby products why would you be interested in a Hostgator ad?

    Hope we both get some answers

    Exactly the same works for me OP. I usually put the same ad block as you after the first paragraph and it gets a high CTR if google are displaying decent ads that day.

    The reason why it is effective because it blends well with the content compared to image ads.
