OpenAds CTR

The first was a set of ads with a traditional banner, 468 x 80 or so, with text above and below the banner. Usually just a single line. CTRs were usually below 10%, with most being around 8.

The second was what I called a "review" ad. I usually used a screen shot of the sponsor's site, scaled down to around 250px wide, with an "honest" review of the site next to it. Lots of text. CTR on those were all above 15%, with most being around 20.

The best one I ever did was on a blowjob page where I used 5 animated blowjob gifs in a table row, with some juicy text underneath. That one was off the charts. I think the motion in the gifs helped draw attention to the ad. Can't say for sure though.

Yep like preacher said. I'm with you, or a little behind, I am using what was just barely "new". I've never switched because that would be so much work and so many ads to put in. One of these days maybe.

I had a similar ad as yours with a bunch of animated gifs in a row and ya, had a great click through. Not sure I even had text.
