Text Link vs Thumbnail question
 

I suppose that with enough traffic I will be able do determine this, but I'm sure someone will already have the answer.

Basically when I list MGP's/FHG's on my site which get more clicks the text links or the 88x88 thumbnails.

I'm currently running the experiment on my site www.spunkbank.com.

Can any one tell me what to expect?

If you visit the site and have any comments for improvement please let me know

The thumbs will get more clicks, especially since you have them at the top of the page, but the text links will get read by SE spiders and bring you some free traffic.

It's not a bad idea to have both on your main page.

I agree, thumbs will get more clicks, and text never hurts.

I find that when I use text links I get a lot of curoius clickers. The SEO spiders plus the ability to make a description to lure in the surfer makes text work better for me. I have better ratios with textlink listings than thumbnail listings.

Really it is all in how you market it. Both are pretty good.

I agree with the ones above...

Another factor that seem to work from my LITTLE experience is the amount of galleries.
Unless you have alot of bookmarkers I would put in more of your archieved galleries on your main page.

thumbs get about 70% more clicks - "nice" thumbs get about 50% more clicks than common thumbs

Thhanks for the feed back everyone

A mix of both is probably the way to go!

Makes the pages more attractive, and adds SE spider food (and productivity on text is better, too!)
