Best method for click thru and conversion for affiliate blogs? Setup...
 

So on blogs I've used a separate imagehost of my own to upload image to and then paste them all in the wordpress html posting.
The last half or 40% of the images are displayed but wrapped in a affiliate anchor code, meaning if they click a new tab opens with the join page of the sponsor. We have ads for relevant affiliates displayed between blog posts and on the sides of the page etc.
Anchored links are also put in the post but nothing tricky or annoying.
Something I do need to do is make the posts have more of a gallery feel instead of images stacked on top of each other, still clean though.

Anyone here to shed light on what converts best for them in regards to this?

I. 2:3 aspect ratio image with no anchor link.
II. 125+ words of text
III. 3:2 aspect ratio image with no anchor link
IV. Keyword rich text link to a custom gallery which I've built. Preferably with a 728x90 banner linking to the join page.
V. Keyword rich text link to tour page
VI. 2:3 aspect ratio image with no anchor link
