I'm using Google cpc, which I think suits the site and provides a more regular income.

I try to make them that way. I have "yourlenses" affiliate in the opticians section etc

probably and that where they probably do better. I thought the fact that I can target ads on specific categories might be in my favour, but now I'm not so sure.

Really only banners at present. I never really got around to using text ads. I had a text ad for Skype previously. I've been a bit wary of text links.
To be honest I've probably been a bit lazy with experimenting with ad formats and my use of the ad, so the idea of a review of ads offered by Eoin is quite appealing. affiliates4u.com looks like it might be worth more of a snoop around for info thanks.
