After further examination and trial usage it would appear that the folks at Image Ads have put together an ad delivery service that fills a void left by most of the current services, including the biggest of them all Google Adsense.
Here are reasons why Image Ads are gaining popularity amongst internet marketers:
1. Instead of bare text ads Image Ads delivers images related to the text ad. The image catches the eye, and as with most images we develop an emotional level to it.

So in effect making it a non contextual ad - thus is compatible when using with Adsense sites.
3. By category and/or keyword selection you provide your targeted visitor with targeted solutions - and when the visitor buys - the website owner gets paid as much as 75% commissions, typically $20 - $50.
That is much more than the 5 cents to $1.00 you receive from adsense ads.
4. Image Ads also uses psychological trigger of the -click here- command as an integral part of their ads.
