yes. i think that people who know why and what adsense is.. dont really click on ads.. unless its REALLLYYYY importany i dont click on ads often But common users are more likely to click on ads, especially if they dont find whay they are looking for on your page.
I like to look at other sites and click on their Adsense ads to get me to site relevant sites to my site. Did I explain myself good enough? Hehehe!
If it interests me then yes... if I am researching keywords and competition then I will right click... copy shortcut and paste the URL... and get rid of all the google code so I just go direct to the site.
At one point, I was so paranoid of getting kicked out of adsense that I wasn't even clicking on any other sites, not even on adwords. Now I do it once in a while, if something really, really interests me, otherwise i do not.
I do if I find an ad interesting and I find the website displaying the adsense code worthy of it. I tend to not click on semi-interesting ads on crap sites. I think the webmaster has to deserve my click.
Sure, if the ad is of interest for me. However, when I see sites created only for showing Adsense I never click on them.
I always click on "Ads by Gooooooogle" on junk sites and report them to Google. I won't report if a publisher is making an honest mistake (in that case I'll tell them to be cautious).
If a website has given me information which I needed and I see that there are ads on there, I will click on one of the ads as a kind of thank you to the webmaster for providing me with a solution. I think this is a good way to reward people that provide decent information without giving them a donation! I will also look at the site that I go to, otherwise that wouldnt be fair on the person paying for the ads! Craig
I will ocasionally find myself clicking an ad on someone elses site, only if it really interrests me though.
it STILL isnt fair when you click on an ad just as a "way to reward people".. i just read in another Adsense forum of a guy that was making several thousand $ per month in adsense for over a year. it appears that he just got banned by Google for clicking on Adsense ads at many other websites. of course we dont know for sure if this is why he got banned, but i'm sure that Google and AdWords advertisers do NOT like people clicking ads "as a reward" with no intention of buying anything from the advertiser.
