Did you see info regarding Google Image Ads? I saw nothing new on this page.
[google.com...]
It's still updated til March 17 2004.
The reason I get higher click-thru is simply because they aren't graphics... people on my site simply hate graphical banner.
It also mentions another new case study [google.com...]
You are in Vancouver, right? But I don't see anything here...(Richmond)
I couldn't even access this URL!
[google.com...]
Do you see the new reporting time frames in the drop down selection box on the reports performance page?
[google.com...] is also a new URL, for selecting whether to opt in or out of image ads, and there is also an "Ad Type" option given second in the list of options on the javascript generator page in the control panel.
Google image ads are a new type of graphical AdWords ad appearing on select content sites in the Google Network. Image ads combine two powerful approaches: graphics and proven AdWords targeting technology. (emphasis mine).
If that is the reasoning, I wonder what the criteria is to be selected.
Nothing... Nothing and nothing...
The page is still update til March 18, 2004 on Adsense panel, and I don't see any of the things you just mentioned.
What seems to be the problem?
Google Image Ads (Beta)
Maybe only certain publishers were selected for the beta
I asked a huge publisher in downtown vancouver to take a look and he doesn't see it either... So i'm thinking its a limited beta?

Are you with Telus or Shaw broadband?
one thing I have to say... stupid Safari! It must have something to do with my Mac browser... after I switched to Windoze, i saw the new stuff.
Thanks guys.
One more URL to try ;)
Visi, I think it is still restricted to contextual based ads only, not all image ads.
I will try some of them out and see what I find.
There is also the possibility that AdSense has given the beta testing to publishers in markets where there is image ad inventory available. It will be interesting to see if it really is limited to some publishers but not others.
you force another to display banner ads.
There is no option for image ads only, at least not at this time. It is all text ads or a combination of text & image ads in rotation.
Check the site in a little while - I'm looking forward to hearing everybody's feedback :)
ASA.
Just curious, who is going to make all the flashy graphics banner?
Also, the banner took the entire 300x250. Will this advertiser have to pay more to get this click?
Should be interesting to see how it works. I don't see myself putting it sitewide on my main sites unless there is a LOT more money in it than with the text ads.
Allow us to have a text link only banner on a page, and as well as a banner ad...
Thats my feed back :)
Will we be able to see separate stats for these image ads?
Yes, I too would like to see separate stats for image vs text ads as well.
An image ad will replace 4 text ads in a 120x600 tower or300x250 box. Thus reducing my chances at getting a click thru.
Will they pay accordingly more?
