Google Adsense provides advertisers and publishers with the opportunity to place adverts in both text and graphic format. Replacing their website with text ads instead of banners are still in the mind of advertisers. We are still questioning which one is better for the advertisers and publisher? Advertisers may feel that image adverts may create more respond but it is less likely to give them a sale. On the other hand text adverts may convert more, whilst being less visible to the consumer.

Google Adsense provides advertisers and publishers with the opportunity to place adverts in both text and graphic format. Replacing their website with text ads instead of banners are still in the mind of advertisers. We are still questioning which one is better for the advertisers and publisher? Advertisers may feel that image adverts may create more respond but it is less likely to give them a sale. On the other hand text adverts may convert more, whilst being less visible to the consumer.

Text based adverts are considered the least intrusive of the two formats. However does that mean that Graphic advertising is better? Consumers are used to graphic advertising from signing into free email accounts, and from using other web based services. Through being used to graphic advertising they have almost programmed their selves to ignore it. Through the adverts being untargeted, the consumer is used to brand advertising which they feel is generally less purposeful. This may cause the consumer to ignore the graphic advert from the assumption that it will be the same. Text adverts are not forced upon surfers. Through being less obvious some people will not see them at all, however those who do see them, and read them are significantly more likely to click on them. This is for a number of reasons, but the first is that they provide more information. Generally, someone who is reading text on a page is not going to be fully satisfied by what they read, and if they check adsense adverts they will most likely read something which will further supplement whatever their intention is next. With an image advert, it is far more of a gamble for the surfer.

Graphic advertising is often paid per impression. This is the case because advertisers are usually promoting their brand instead of a product. That is why they accept the low conversion rate which is not comparable with the text ads. However, if the text contained within an advert was placed in graphic format, which would be the most effective? Well firstly it can assumed that the surfer will be more likely to view it, however if there were multiple image adverts appearing next to each other they may feel overwhelmed. It is also difficult for you to change graphics regularly. Let's consider Google allowing adverts to be changed frequently and without regulation. The advertiser could claim affiliation from the website they are advertising on, and contain keywords such as "ipod" which cannot be contained within a text advert. Although more regulation and quality control could be in place, some unrelated image might appear without any reason.

Text adverts also have a broader market appeal, as advertisers don't generally have the in house resources to create an image advert, but do have the in house resources to write a text advert. This could mean that a wider array of advertisers find text advertising accessible, through text adverts being less burden on the advertiser, and being easy to change.Text adverts are also cheaper for the advertiser to create, where as a graphically designed advert may cost in excess of $200. Through removing this fixed cost advertisers may be willing to allot a higher rate to advertising itself; thus benefiting the advertiser and the publisher.

It is also cheaper to create and put text ads, where as a graphically designed advert may cost in excess of $200. Through removing this fixed cost advertisers may be willing to allot a higher rate to advertising itself; thus benefiting the advertiser and the publisher.

The big brands are willing to advertise in both formats however the broad market appeal of text inevitably makes it the winner.
