    I've grown immune to banner ads and almost get no notice of them :D
    Anyway, normally I click on about 2-3/1000 banners and these 3 banners should have an incredible and very alluring offer.:)

    Not all , my mind usually drifts to ads on the page if the website is so boring or doesn't catch my interest. Its only then I have a glance at the ads before closing and rarely clicks cause almost all banners ads would be same I saw somewhere else.

    Remember "YOU ARE THE 1000000TH VISITOR CONGRATULATIONS!"

    I rarely click on ads on websites - maybe 1/10K

    I often click on Ads on that are presented on S/E's when I search for something - they are normally relavent to what I am searching for.

    I click banner ads if they interest me and look professional.

    I didn't used to click them as much, but I now click more with tabbed browsing.

    I click ads so seldom, that when I do click an ad, it is usually because I was tricked into thinking it was a link and the first thing that comes to my mind is... wow, that must get good CTR.

    I hardly never click on them and when I do it is only if I am interested in what it shows or offers.

    As I can see not many people are clicking at ads. People click them only when they are interested in the topic.

    I generally ignore them, but if I'm on a site that I really like I will pay attention to their ads as well as their content. If I'm genuinely interested in something, I'll click, and have even given the advertiser a conversion a time or two, especially for books.

    Still, that probably amounts to around 1/1000 impressions.

    See this is what makes me wonder, if WE don't click on the ads that often it must mean there are a lot of dumb or curious mofos out there that click on ads all the time! I know if I was ur typical internet user all of u would be out of business. But Im not complaining.

    I ignore banners for the most part, but I have to say every once in a while there is something that catches my eye, and I'm guessing it's more often than 1/1000.

    I probably click on <10 out of 1000 banner ads.

    I've had more success with text ads personally, however this is on a relative scale to banner ads.

    Have seen so many on my own sites and elsewhere, I'm completely ad blind.
    Nothing gets me to click, to be honest.
    Not even a conscious decision to click or not....it just turns out that way.
