    Not very often, but occasionally if the image, title or description looks beneficial and tantalizing... :rolleyes:

    There's a weird resistance whenever I see someones ads and have even a remote urge to click it, I wonder why that is. To answer your question, for some reason I hate doing it even if I want to.

    A long time ago I used to click on my own ads, then I got busted with adsense. I already learnt my lesson now, not to click my own ads. Having a tough time to get adsense account back up.

    I don't click ads that often but I only do that when I see ads that have catchy title and sales pitch.

    I click from time to time.. especially if it's relevant.

    A lot of laziness.. so you search for something.. the page comes up.. not exactly what you want.. blam. There's the adsense ad for what you do want.. easier to click that then go back to google and re-search.

    Now.. I think we would all be a lot richer if the advertising companies had been more strict on their programs. I made a killing in the late 90's on ppc ads.. unfortunately.. the scam artists saw a quick buck and started the popups, browser hijacking, etc. and now consumer confidence in any sort of advertising on a webpage is at an all-time low.

    I rarely click on ads, but if there's something that catches my attention or if it's of interest to me, I'd probably click.

    The only times I click on an ad is if Im at a site that offers tons of valuable information to me, or a product or service free of charge and I want to make a "contribution" to them because I think they deserve it, then Ill click on an ad then exit the page just to get them the clickthrough money.
