I have tried both of these types for advertising my sites.Is one better than the other to get traffic?

I'd personly say Banner, because it can catch the user's eye better than text ads

I'd go with banners as well, but that's not to say text links won't be helpful as well. A text link on a big site will get good exposure plus help with your PR.

As we know already Picture is worth than thousand words, banner will always catch more visitors than text.

That's only if the link is a direct link and doesn't have sort of nofollow/redirection. Many sites will sell text advertising, but use their own ad management system so the "text links" don't end being real links at all.

I would have to say banners aswell. As long as it stands out. I think textlinks are pretty effective too though if you have an appealing description text.

I have noticed though that I have started ignoring banners, not deliberately though

I would say that both can be effective. I've seen with adsense that more people tend to click on the banner and image-type ads, moreso than the text ads, though using one type of advertising and completely ignoring the other isn't a wise decision. I think that using both would be smarter than using one or the other.

An image says more than 1000 words!

To get more traffic, banner is a really good option
