    Regardless if it was intentional or unintentional, how often do you click on an ad?

    Intentionally maybe once a week, mainly text link ads (but never on ads running on my sites).
    Unintentionally maybe handfull a week.

    When I see competative add somewhere - to check what they have to offer.
    When I'm intrested in something.
    When it's for a good cause (like click here to help my site evolve).
    This mean a lot (and hopefully there are good results for me or for the guy wich have the add).

    Hi,
    I'll click at least twice in a week. But I'll do it only during searching for a particular topic. Because the new sites may have new content...

    i do it if i like the website and can't make a donation :( ... this happens 3+ times every 24 hours lol

    if they don't have ads and have some sponsor links i try to visit those so they keep supporting the webmaster of the site so he can keep the service going :)

    Thanks for the response guys! So how do sites like Shoemoney.com make so much money from ads? Are most of the clicks "accidents"? :confused:

    There must be a lot of people out there who do click on ads, but I'm not one of them either.

    I do alot of research in the net. I click it IF the ads related with my research. This week I search for PDA's review, and I click a lot of them. Maybe 10 this week.
