I've grown immune to banner ads and almost get no notice of them 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.
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 dont click on them, but i usually remember the website if it has an address on it so i may go back at a later date.
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.
I click on ads that genuinely interest me. i would say around 1/500 .. for some reason my eye also ignore the ads too .. may be surf lots of pages would be the reason
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.
