Using the same contextual targeting algorithm that targets Google ads to your content pages, link units display a list of topics that are relevant to your page. Each topic, when clicked, brings the user to a page of related advertisements.</p> <p>What about the other factor of not using themat all, have u tested this scenario... Like will it result in more clicks on the main contexual ad.. with more revenue</p> <p>cheers </p> http://www.labnol.org/forums/topic/are-text-link-ads-from-google-worth-it#post-367 Thu, 23 Aug 2007 20:49:24 +0000 Anurag 367@http://www.labnol.org/forums/ <p>The text links ads of Google should not alter the pricing of your regular Adsense ads since they are non-contextual and hand-picked by the Adsense publisher himself. </p> http://www.labnol.org/forums/topic/are-text-link-ads-from-google-worth-it#post-366 Thu, 23 Aug 2007 16:36:04 +0000 mahendra 366@http://www.labnol.org/forums/ <p>Google allows three text link ads these days,<br /> and i have been using them quite regularly also... but they dont pay me much.. and i might loose a user.. who might have clicked on a high paying Ad if he had not left my website clicking the text link Ad...</p> <p>amit i have seen you dont use many text links ads , and give the first rectangle most importance...</p> <p>Well using text link ads before your first content ad? does it affect the first content Ad in any way, like showing highest paying keywords...</p> <p>any help would be great..</p> <p>cgeers </p>
