Most converting promo tools

[Mr Spock]

I have my LL's domain tattooed across my ass and find the click through to be simply amazing.

I take it your ass gets a fair amount of traffic then

Banners catch the eye and brand the item being promoted, but don't necessarily sell it. I've read a couple of articles on that subject. Hence, I'm an expert. Text performs the sale.

That makes sense, I find it strange that more freesites aren't text heavy - from what I've see a few lines of linked text and that's it.

Surely much more text is required (unlinked) with the punchline linked? What are your thoughts?
