Banners or text links?

Excellent...thanks for the feedback folks

Yea, the few banners they have are ok...just not many of em. And I tend to build a lot of sites...those few banners will get stale pretty quick.

Looks like a good excuse to shake up the ol build style a bit...always a good thing!

Thanks much for the input

I've built a handful of sites using very few banners. One of those sent more clicks than any site I've ever built...and resulted in no sales. (I was so pissed.)

Overall, I don't see a huge difference between sites with banners vs. sites with no banners, but from what I can tell, it's text links that make the sales. (No surprise there.)

My gut tells me that having appropriate banners helps get the paysite brand in the customer's mind - potentially making him more open to buy - but I haven't really tested this. One of these days a bunch of us need to hook up and run an experiment or two.
