Clicking through ads?

    Does anyone else find themselves going through the DP forums and clicking on ads that other people have started?

    I do this sometimes, just because I know I am helping someone... somewhere!

    :)

    Is this bad? :-/

    In my experience it's pennies, not big bucks that happens when you click on adsense ads.

    I don't think your one or two clicks is going to help them a lot, also it seems useless unless and until you are really looking for such ads.

    True that, the clicks are useless unless there are actually active viewing. If you're talking about G-sense they've already made that tougher.

    the only person you're helping is google, or other advertising company
    Advertiser loses their money
    Publisher makes a few more pennies, but runs the risk of being banned
