I think that the fact that "text-heavy banners get high click-throughs" is pretty counter-intuitive. Also, have you tried using CPM rather CPC?

- hippo33 14y agoDefinitely counter-intuitive. And again, it may just be in our network -- who knows? What do you mean by the latter question?
- jiggy2011 14y agoI'm not sure if it is counter-intuitive. With text you can describe exactly what it is you are selling and thus provide a reason for clicking the banner. Stuff that is mainly graphics is easy to just mentally filter out with the rest of the website chrome.
- polyfractal 14y agoTo take it a step further, we are so used to obnoxious banner ads on the internet that I think most people automatically ignore them. Just a guess, but the less "bannery" the ad is, probably the better chance it has of being noticed. Ironic, since banners got so obnoxious in the first place as an attention-grabbing mechanism.
- lautis 14y agoIt's proven that people have become very good at ignoring banner ads. http://www.useit.com/alertbox/banner-blindness.html http://www.useit.com/alertbox/banner-blindness.html
