How often do you click Adsense ads?

    I think I have a habit of just avoiding ads on the page in general. I don't think I've clicked an Adsense ad in the past few months. Anyone else like this?

    As soon as I became of aware of AdSense and joined it I haven't clicked one single ad. If I'm interested in something I'll usually copy and paste the URL if it's there.

    Cheers,

    Whats the point in that? Is it out of spite or something lol? I just don't see why you would do that. I guess if I went to a competitors site and saw an ad I liked I might do the same thing, but thats the only reason I could think for doing that lol. Care to explain your logic?

    I click on adsense ads if I am interested in the ad... or if I really like the site and want to make sure they stay alive on the internet.

    i never ever clicked on any adsense ads on my site. if I actually find the advertisement to be too good, then i roll over my mouse on the add and write the url of the site in the browser but never click on it because i have heard so many google banning stories.

    I can't explain it really. It has nothing to do with competitors and whatnot - I suppose if I can save the advertisers a few cents (or dollars) I'll do just that. Ofcourse if the URL isn't there I'll go right ahead and click it :)

    Ahhhh, I see. It makes sense lol. I'm not looking at it through an advertisers point of view lol. I'm just thinking of it as a way of helping someone else earn money. I never thought that at the same time someone else is losing money basically sense I'm juct clicking the ad to help someone out (usually).

    You have changed my views! lol

    I didn't click before I used them and don't click on them now either.

    Seems a weird dichotomy, but someone clicks on them, just never been me.

    The only time that I ever click the ads is because they are blended in so well with the content.

    Does not happen very often, maybe once every six months. lol

    When I visit a website I dont even read the ads, I just glance at it and looked away... I guess I have some adsense blindness, only when I do some searching for a specific product on google itself I clicked on ads...

    A lot of webmasters tries to attract attention to their ads nowadays by putting images right beside the ads, I actually just came across the link below and I didnt know what to think of it, im actually curious what his CTR on this page alone...

    ditto... I'm soooo paranoid I'm going to accidentally click on my own ads that it has trained me to avoid clicking other ads..like the plague.

    That's definitely against the terms of service...don't know why people think they can get away with stuff like that
