Now that you run a website, do you click other website's ads?

    Before I ran any websites, I'd never, EVER click any ads. I was 100% 'ad immune'.

    However, now that I run my own sites, if I like a site I'll give it's ads a chance. Autoblog, Notebookreview, sites like that I'll give the ads a click :)

    Although I still don't click Adsense...too scared I'll get falsely banned.

    If I notice it, and it interests me, I click them. Most of the time I don't notice ads unless they stand out or are pop ups.

    Any of those "generic" banner ads ie. "Drink the beer faster and get a free ringtone." I just completely ignore but if there is a well-designed ad for something that interests me or it's for a brand I already know of I normally click it.

    Thats clear matter of likes and dislikes :)

    If I have interest in ads, click it immediately.

    Don't usually click the ads, but not from conscious choice not to click them. Would click an ad if it was advertising something in which I have an interest.

    I hardly click on any ads. There are too many sites to visit and too little time to spend on click ads.

    If the ads ever caught my attention, I would. Most of the time, the ads are pretty much the same, so I don't click them...
