How many people actually click ads?
« on: February 28, 2007, 12:59:00 am »
I'm curious. People make fucking bank off of ads, but who clicks them? :/

I'd bet that you're currently bloated like a water ballon on a hot summer's day.

That analogy doesn't even make sense.  Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.

If it's something I'm interested in, yes.
Who gives a damn? I fuck sheep all the time.
And yes, male both ends.  There are a couple lesbians that need a two-ended dildo...My router just refuses to wear a strap-on.

Nay.
I'd personally do as Joe suggests

You might be right about that, Joe.

Once in awhile, but not usually.

I think more casual internet users are the ones that click on them.

Never, no matter how interested I am. If I see something that interests me a lot, I'll go to their site manually.

I click on Gmail ads.  I figure they're giving me free email, I don't mind.
I have a programming folder, and I have nothing of value there

Running with Code has a new home!

Our species really annoys me.

If its supporting a good cause, and the ad is interesting, I'll click it.

I've never had an ad interest me that I can recall, so no.

I play them and try to not hit the target and see how long I can play like that until the target moves quickly over my mouse :)

I only click an ad if it's interesting and it's supporting a website or organization that I like.  That and some Gmail ads.

I play all the game ads over and over but my popup blocker never lets me see the winning "BUYMENOW" page.  :)
And like a fool I believed myself, and thought I was somebody else...

Sometimes, but almost never any more.  I used to ignore them but even when I would see something interesting it never led anywhere good.  Now I just do like iago and manually get there.

I click on ads for people running sites ( if I visit them ) to help them raise money for hosting and whatnot, but generally I don't click random ads.
