I found link units to be a very pleasant surprise. When I first saw
them I laughed them off as gimmicky, but then I decided to follow my
own advice of not knocking something until I have tried it.
They fit in areas that would otherwise likely just be white-space,
they are unobtrusive and yet still actually generate a lot more clicks
then I ever thought they would.
Placing them around navigation bars or columns, in headers and/or
footers where you may have some wasted space might prove very
useful...and profitable.
Do the link ads work just like text or image ads? If they click on a
link word--does that count as a click? Or does the viewer have to
click on the word..then click on another ad on that following page?
Thanks.

I use adlinks on my pages and they tend to work quite well. The words
they bring up are very targeted and the long leaders look more like
navigation than content ads. They fit nicely with the site and helps
maintain a clean appearance. I originally shrugged them off like Dan,
but am happy that I decided to try them. They work wonders! -Raw
Oh, by the way, for melbs, yes, the viewer has to click on one of the
words, that takes them to a google page with ads, and if they click on
any of those ads, that's when you get paid.

I have too placed the Link Units.They are good.But if any user opens
them ,they don't get the things they want.For example if a users open
a Link naming "Download".The page for the link opens and there are
other Sponsered ads by google.
On the contrary other units have Description as well as when the site
open the users almost gets the related matter he/she needs.
I still have better revenue from ad units. Eventhough, it's quite easy
to manage and need less space to put text link ads in our web pages
but since no description on the ads like the ad unit. I doubt that
visitors will click on it rather than on ad units. Actually, I used
both of ads to just to find out which generates better ads.
Actually, YES!! I hadn't tried them until recently (a few days ago)
and was pleasantly surprised -- more than that... quite happy with
them. The link units are performing much better than regular
leaderboards and towers, etc. Too cool. I had thought you could only
ad one of these per page, but I see it says 3... guess what I will be
doing in the next few days.
BTW, I had tried image ads, but all the were putting there were
computer ads and crap for forum owners -- doesn't work too well for a
site about historical reenacting. And yes, mine is a real site, a lot
of these scam sites that just promise to make you rich. So far, it
usually takes me about every other month to get a check, but in the
last few days, I have lept forward from under $2. a day usually to
over $5. not riches by any means, but better. Now, how do i get $100.
per day? I have pretty good traffic (13 to 27GB of pipe per month)...
I think I should be able to translate some of that to more ad revenue.
Best, Marsh
