Have you ever clicked on a web ad?

[Liviathan]

Just wondering if anyone ever clicks or who...I think I've clicked maybe 5 ads in the last 4 years.

i click the ones where you have to sink the putt or make the free throw. those are fun

 

[Aharami]

yes i have.

"ever" yes
"often" no

I do the "Shoot the xxxx" ones, just to see how inaccurate you can be and still have it count as a hit.

 

[NikPreviousAcct]

I always click on them - right click, AdBlock Image, <OK>

 

[MAME]

I clicked one on accident once

adblock = no ads

There's been a few that actually caught my interest. The ratio is probably some ridiculous number like 458,635:1 or so.

As somebody who manages a lot of campaigns on Google, Yahoo, etc., a lot of you guys would probably be shocked just how many people do click online ads, especially in response to the search results. The content-targeted text ads (such as the Google ads at the bottom of this page) obviously perform much more poorly from a clickrate perspective, but even they don't sometimes do too badly. There's a reason Google and Yahoo are worth billions.

Pretty close to what I do. I like adblocking from a higher directory than the image.

Not on purpose, but while eating at the computer my mouse aim is sometimes off.

 

[Kev]

I can't help but punch that monkey

 

[jjones]

Never intentionally.

 

[Mucho]

A few times yes

What kind of ads?

On some car forums I visit, I regularly click the board sponsors ads up at the top when I'm planning on buying products for my car...

I think I've bought something from almost all of the companies attached to the 8 ads at the top of the 3rd gen F-body page I visit .

Random, untargeted ads...no. Never.
