Poll: Poll: Have u ever clicked on an anandtech banner to buy a product

[SnoopCat]

just wonderin if these banners really get people to buy stuff.

I've never clicked on a banner on ANY site. NEVER.

With the recent collapse of internet advertising and claims that the anandtech site is worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, I can't help but think that there must be trained monkeys somewhere providing a ton of clickthrus.

 

[SnoopCat]

so how does this site really make money?, just by showing proof that lots of people visit it?

What's the rate these days? I thought it used to be 100,000 hits/views (not clicks) would earn ya $100.

anandtech is a free site. it is an AWESOME site.

i click on the banners a few times a day because that is how anandtech gets its revenue.

it won't hurt you guys. u can just click and close the window.

support anandtech by clicking on the banners!!

Maybe there is a hidden script or something that sends a false "click" to the advertisers on a page when you hit refresh.
