we all see them on almost all sites we go these days. do you think people are naturally starting to ignore them since they are generally easily recognized?
I think visitors are becoming more web savvy and they know more about Google Ads and such. My feeling is that they may not click if they know you are making money off them - people can be funny. The other thing I notice about my blogs is that returning visitors probably don't click much because they have become ad blind over time.
right. I think all people, returning or not, are becoming ad blind. like on side columns or headers. its getting drilled into the brain to automatically ignore it.
