I just opened a website and looked over it. There where couple of google ads in there, placed very professionally, as I many times read here in DP. And I just clicked on one of them. No, no nothing bad . But at that time i started to think who mostly clicks on them. I did some search in DP, actually didn't found nothing particular answering my question. WHO CLICKS ON GOOGLE ADS I usually don't. Once in 1000 times, only if I see that in the ad there is the website which I was searching for... soo long I'd like to hear from you, which category of people click on ads. I think this can be useful so we can know for whom we can make a site/blog.
Most searchers won't look past the first 5 pages on the top of the search engines. Most of which can sometimes be crap, therefore with well worded ads seeming to be much more relevant to your actual search many people would follow. I have searched for stuff before with no information at all at the top of the SERPS so adsense ads are the only way continue your search. Also with many publishers deviously camoflauging and integrating ads into their sites, many people are unaware they are actually clicking on ads.
You will be surprised how deep people go down. Sometimes, they go down to 5th, 6th page and sometimes even beyond.
I had gone to till 16th page once Now OP: I click only if Ad is relevent to what I have been looking for or when Ad say something very strange
Sometimes I start from 50th page But anyways.. I'm sure most of us knows how to search and find what we need. I think that mostly ads I clicked by unexperienced users, and more - by those who don't even know what is adsense.
Yeah, the ads by TheRichJerk.com usually catch my (and everyone else's) attention. The ads had something like, "I'm Rich, You're Not".
I think the main people that click on any ads on any site are the people that don't own websites and just go to find information about stuff or want to shop and browse online to find something, etc. People that use adsense are less likely to click on the ads.
I click on adds if its about what I am looking for. Sometimes I do click on adds in sites like hotscript , DP , alexa -- just because I love them and wish them to be here for ever. If I come across something new & interesting then also I click. Sometimes I do click just thinking that some one else is clicking in one of my sites to help me
There has to be one doesn't there. People who think they can get easily money will click on their ads only to find out that their account is banned a little later. People who click on their own ads don't do them or their advertisers any favours at all. They should know better. It's these sort of people that probably click on their own ads and when they advertise using Adwords and find that their campaigns don't convert then they moan.
I never hardly click on ads, especially those sites that have hardly no or no content and just ads. Infact I don't even hardly visit them sites and if I did visit them then I would have gone to the through a search engine by mistake or something.
i click on ads when i find new ad formats ... also when i want to find sites which really mean business.. no one advertises if he doesnot have some real stuff to make money out of it .. for eg when i m searching for web hosting or domain registrations... best to click on the ads ..
