i make the brash assumption that at gets $ for click throughs, so i just click random ads as i wander these hallowed halls...

anybody else trying to make anand a top 1% earner? he needs some attendants for his new theater...

I don't see ads because I am not an idiot. :eek: Crazy right? Adblock Plus, who knew...

I don't see many ads at all, and those that do show up on sites I never click on.

I rarely click on adds. Probably should to help support the owners, but I'm lazy.

They don't really bug me, though, so I don't bother Adblocking or similar. On lower-end machines, though, I use Flashblock because those flash ads can really suck up some CPU cycles.

EDIT: I doubt Anand needs clickthrough revenue, but every little bit helps. I don't feel very guilty not bothering, though -- this is a big site, I'm sure he does fine.

Frankly the ads are non-existent. Totally blocked.

If I were forced to browse from a "unprotected" computer, I would studiously ignore anything moving. My policy is to avert my eyes from anything moving onscreen, unless watching a video.

I click on the ad that deal with the chinese vendors and having your product made in china, just to run 'em dry.

It isn't inadvertent. You have the disease, don't you?

I never click on any ads anywhere for any reason. I am opposed to unrequested advertising/marketing as a general principle.
