		<description>I recently wrote an article that noted this point (which is a good one). People are used to advertisements that are images. They look right past em&#039;, its built in to our brains now that those image ads are just ads.

The most clicks are links, especially if you make the link ads look like your regular ol&#039; website links. Way more CTR.

Best of luck. Let me know if you would be up to exchange links someday. Great site.

		<description>[...] Instead, try text links, video or something creative and personalized. Think about yourself as a web surfer and a potential buyer. Would you click on something flashing bright red saying &#8220;Click here or we will Kill you&#8221;. I doubt it, so don&#8217;t expect visitors to your site to click either.

		<description>Because I was sick of seeing Google ads for the time being and I wanted to promote Affiliate Classroom.  Not necessarily to sell their services, but more of just getting their name out because I like the company and I enjoy supporting them</description>
