Are the image ads PPC? And get paid per click.

Or are they a CPM? And get paid per 1000 impression?

Image ads can be either CPM or CPC.

If you'd like more information about the affect of CPM ads on your reports, please see [google.com...]

thanks for the clarification asa.
i've been waiting for that statement for months.

this validates my opinion to stay away from image ads..

- minimal ad inventory, minor interest on both sides, advertisers and publishers

- same ads repeating everytime causing boredom and banner blindness

- if accounted in cpc, no "branding-fee" included (click price has to be huge to compensate the publisher)

- most webmasters report bad experiences income-wise

- they are mostly designed by amateurs, don't fit in my page design and look cheap

- no adequate reporting, unawareness of accounting method

- no opt-out of cpm/cpc

did i forget something?

to my mind the system obviously doesn't work. google should take action on this one.
