That's a good point actually, at least Google do enforce some form of standards on which pages AdSense ads lead to (which I suppose makes sense, as there's often a big 'Ads by Google' sign underneath them and they don't want to be associated with pop-ups etc).
if it was text I don’t and never see anything can make me click on it but if it was image I click but not always I believe image more effect
i only click when ads display what i really interested or searching for at that time, normally i don't.
i find this very ironic.. as the majority of us here are webmasters trying to make money off google ads but we don't ever click ourselves.
You need to try and blend the ads like it were content on the site. I get a surprisingly good click through rate on this site.... thepowersellerclub.com (livelinks not allowed for noobs) The adsense is below the fold and produces better than the ad rotators that are in your face when logging onto the site....I think it's because they look like the articles.
I don't click on blended ads so much....but if the ad units are contrasting with the page and in pretty colors then I click them!
This thread isn't about CTR.. but um.. congrats? and the reason live links aren't allowed for new people, is because they tend to spam them in unrelated threads
The flash version of the "fart button" I have personally myself clicked, but other Google Ads I have never clicked... I'm the jealous type of person on that... I hate clicking other people's ads, because I know it'll earn them more money than I do. He he.
The same to me. Mostly I just go the site without click the ads but if the site is very good (in design and content) sometimes I feel pity, so I give one/two clicks. In the other case, if I dislike some sites (hype, tricky ones) I'll click their ads if I happened to find them ...in order to make the advertisers pay . It's not a good behavior ...don't follow me!
Actually, I do click the ads. I actually think about myself, and I feel bad for others, so I just click them.
I try to click on 25 adsense ads a day and anywhere from 10 - 20 yahoo and msn ads. If I can find some nice affiliate ad's, I'll click on them 5-10 times for each ad! I really like to find sites with a few popups, so I can click on those ads too! just kidding I don't even see ad's, kaspersky blocks all of them!
I'm the other way around If I see other bloggers having Adsense ads, I won't click on it, knowing that he/she will make money from it..arghhh..please purify my soul
