    VERY Rarely these days. I find that i'm almost blind to ad copy and therefore (especially adwords) I just never click on them...unless its the competition :)

    Agreed... I never used to click ads too - I could smell a google adsense ad a mile away. Ironically, I am an adsense publisher as well :D.

    But I have to admit I have clicked on ads when I'm searching for something on the net - though it depends on what you're searching for, and how eagerly you're looking for it. There are people who would still click on an ad because they need to find something good. You can always put it in places where people can see it easily, camouflage it with the content, etc. But essentially, if someone really wants to find something on your website, they'll find the ad no matter where you place it. That's probably why "content is king" because your website content tells your visitor how good your site is for whatever info they need.

    So, if you're an adsense publisher, I'd say it's still worth it.

    I almost never click AdSense or other CPC ads unless I feel like supporting the site I'm on. I guess it's sort of the opposite of what you're supposed to do, but I'm pretty stereotypical about the overall quality of links from AdSense.

    However, I click regular text link and banner ads all the time; they usually point to useful sites.

    Almost never, only when something is highly interested for me.

    I think it would be nice to click on other people ads. It does not cost you anthing if you are interested in the offer.

    I very rarely click on them & I'm an adsense publisher :D & I never click on them when they're stuck right in the middle of an article .... just from an aesthetics point of view, it bugs the crap outta me :mad: & ruins the layout.

    I don't remember the last time I saw an ad that interests me. If I go to a site that I really like, or a blog with great content, I'll click on an ad or two just to help the site owner out.
