Adsense Tips: Graphic or Text?




By Rui Ludovino


With Google Adsense, advertisers and publishers can choose to place either adverts in both text or graphic format. As advertisers decide to put Adsense into their website over banner advertising, the question still remains. Which is more effective for advertisers and which is better for publishers? On one hand, advertisers may feel that image adverts are more responsive yet less likely to stimulate a sale. There is an ongoing debate on which is better.

Text based adverts are considered the least intrusive of the two formats. However does that mean that Graphic advertising is better? Consumers are used to graphic advertising from signing into free email accounts, and from using other web based services. Through being used to graphic advertising they have almost programmed their selves to ignore it. Through the adverts being untargeted, the consumer is used to brand advertising which they feel is generally less purposeful. This may cause the consumer to ignore the graphic advert from the assumption that it will be the same. Text adverts are not forced upon surfers. Through being less obvious some people will not see them at all, however those who do see them, and read them are significantly more likely to click on them. This is for a number of reasons, but the first is that they provide more information. Generally, someone who is reading text on a page is not going to be fully satisfied by what they read, and if they check adsense adverts they will most likely read something which will further supplement whatever their intention is next. With an image advert, it is far more of a gamble for the surfer.

Most of the graphic advertising is often paid per impression. This is because the advertiser may be trying to promote their brand, instead of promoting a specifically useful service. That is why they tend to have lower conversion rates than text adverts. However, if the text contained within an advert was placed in graphic format, which would be the most effective? Well firstly it can assumed that the surfer will be more likely to view it, however if there are a lot of other images around it, they won't like it. Graphic adverts are also harder to regulate. Let's consider Google allowing adverts to be changed frequently and without regulation. The advertiser could claim affiliation from the website they are advertising on, and contain keywords such as "ipod" which cannot be contained within a text advert.

You will also be able to get a broader market appeal with text ads, as advertisers don't generally have the in house resources to create an image advert, but do have the in house resources to write a text advert. This could mean that a wider array of advertisers find text advertising accessible, through text adverts being less burden on the advertiser, and it is easy for them to make any changes.

So, advertisers like to go for text ads.. They pay a CTR (click through rate) and only receive targeted traffic. This removes risks from businesses that previously had to worry that adverts were not only seen, but clicked on and stimulating sales. As CPC (Cost Per Click) is more relevant to text adverts, advertisers will be able to get more exposure.

So, advertisers would tend to prefer text advertising. They pay a CTR (click through rate) and only receive targeted traffic. This way, they won't have to worry about their ads to be unnoticed but clicked on and stimulating sales. As CPC (Cost Per Click) is more relevant to text adverts, advertisers are able to gain exposure without needing a high click through rate to be effective.
