I noticed all these ads from Text Link Ads

Now I have great respect for Patrick, and we should always try to get inside a marketers mind, so which ad would you click and which would you use on your site !

3rd is most clickable but did not click it :P
Top left as it sells the benefit, the other 2 there is a bit of a step to the benifit buy links-> better rankings or more traffic -> more income from my advertises
Definitely 1 or 2. My problem with number 3, a visitor might not see the entire ad, I guess it really depends on the placement.
#2 “buy relevant links” sells it to me.
#1 “monetize your website” not giving me enough info. I see the word “monetize 49,000 times an hour
#3 I never look at it long enough to read it. I multi-task and reading ads is wayyy low on my priorities unless your showing me relevant search ads.
3 without a doubt. I will scan over the other two, but if the animated is going it’s going to catch my eye and at least make me read it.
#1 or #2. When I land on a page with an animated ad I leave. The animation attracts your attention, but it also keeps you from doing anything else on the page. There are a few very popular blogs with animated ads that I spend less and less time with just because of the ad.
I’d click #1 and have #2 on my site. (from directly looking at the ads, but #3 might be good if it’s on the sidebar and I’m not directly looking at it because the animation might catch my attention)
(btw - thanks for the link on ‘link love monday’ a couple of weeks ago)
I would go with the first. The second one promotes something that people may associate with risky behavior. The third… “Need Money?” seems like a pay-day-loan pitch.
Dave, tough one, I love them all! ;) btw, please shoot me an email have something to show you, thx!
I have published #1 on my blog. I don’t like animated banners although #3 the text is directed to both sides - link buyers and publishers.
You not thinking people. :-)
Test them, it means shit what we think, you need to see what Joe Consumer wants.
That’s why we developed this:
