Do you click on ads?

star123star123 BeginnerLink Clerk
There's always a lot of discussion about how to get people to click on pay per click ads. My question is do you generally click on ads?

My answer: I click on ads for two reasons:
1) the ad actually interests me or I am curious what it's about
2) the website is really nice or the ads are cleverly placed and I want to reward the owner of the website for their creativity.

    most webmasters have become blind to ads... but for me, if i see something interesting, i would click on the ad (not on my site ;))... feel a little guilty that the webmaster on the other end has to pay for it though...

    btw, you are paid poster? your style of posting makes it really obvious... ;)

    When I see something interesting, I click on it. Sometimes I accidently click on something I see on my own site and then am like, doh! Dont want to get banned from Adsense.

    Will you always get banned from Adsense if you click on your own ads or does it take a while of repeated clicks?

    If I see something being advertised that I find interesting I research it first but thats just me...

    Never click on ads, unless by accident, which is once in a blue moon.

    I hardly click adds, most of them don't interest me at all. Sometimes when a website is really well build I'll click.

    I click on ads some, often times I go to site and dont use the ad to do so as to save them money. If the ad has something that interests me sure I will, which basicly translates into a way for me to make more money or make my work easier.

    only if it interests me otherwise your ripping off the person paying to advertise

    I click on a few if they catch my interest. But for the most part I do not click on the ads. I have a tendancy to just do a google search for any info. But if a ad comes up a site that have done a search on. Chances are I might.

    They don't do it if for the odd click. At the very worst they are likely to not reward you with any money for that click. They only tend to crack down on people who are clicking them daily.

    I'm immune to them unless it says free domain or something that is in my field of work. I never click anything these days...its about a 50/50 chance of spyware on the other side now lol

    Not interrestrial ads or whatever you call it.

    I do occassionally click the ads I do like, knowing that the webmaster is profiting, if I like that community and the ad.

    Yeah, I do click on ads especially when the ads coincides with an interest of mine- usually programming related stuffs🤭. Or if due to some ingenuity of the web creator, the ads are almost unavoidable 🤔
