I was going to try this myself but couldn't be bothered, so being a lazy git I thought I would ask here, if the answer is different to what I think it is then I will try it myself, so what gets more people clicking on links, a nice graphic button or banner, or a text link for the same page?

Naked woman would get my attention, but a banner would get my click unless it was a really ugly banner.

I made up about 20 banners today, they have been seen in stuff that is relevent to the content by about 2-3,000 people so far, none of the pages show any increase in traffic though, well not that I bothered taking much notice of page views before putting up the banners, but also, none of the banners have naked ladies on them, I think I have found the secret to success in getting banner clicks

It's a job for some a-b split testing to see if your visitor demographic are more inclined towards banner ads rather than text.

As you can see, I vote two items, text link and a banner. I usually click a banner to a certain site before I click on text link. I want to see what products are on a banner, before I proceed on reading what's on text link.

A Animated Banner would grab my attention more than a regular banner. Animated Flash Banner or Animated GIFs can be really eye caching.
