a word about text ads
we can run text and links in your ad spot. Text ads should not be overlooked as an effective vehicle for your message.


Because of that precision targeting, "Many of us have known for a long time that text ads have a higher response rate than graphic ads," said Steve Yelvington, who is responsible for audience development strategy for Morris Digital Works, the Internet division of Morris Communications. (Disclosure: Steve Yelvington and Morris Digital Works provided technical support for the Eyetrack III research.)

"This is the first study I've seen that examines what happens among people who don't click," Yelvington said, a finding he hopes will "buttress the argument that legible, simple advertising is a powerful model that we should embrace instead of being lured away by bad ideas like pop-ups, pop-unders, and banners that talk."

Morgan echoes that sentiment and suggests that advertisers might do well to give greater visibility to simple text ads, which usually are consigned to the lower regions of a page. "What we see as the Web evolves is that a well-written sentence is more important than an animated GIF," Morgan said.
