    Have you ever click on someone else's Google Ads? If not, why?

    I clicked on Ads that really attract me.. but as long as i feel the site is made for adsense, i use sandbox to get the URL instead of clicking it :p

    Yes I have clicked once, on Nintendos site. It ended up in him writing an excuse letter to google.
    Since then, I have never clicked :)

    How could that be? As long as you two are not sharing IP, there is no problem, right?

    I hardly ever notice the ads...unless it's about a cure for herpes, diabetes, cancer, hemroids....!!! (Yes, one of my threads here generated ads like that!!!)
    http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showpost.php?p=733904&postcount=10

    (Mostly normal ads now.)

    Uggg!!!! No, I didn't E-Mail Google. I always just pretent to be freaked out!!!!!! (He once posted here confessing to clicking a link on one of my sites and I 'paniced'!!!) :D:D:D:D

    I've only E-mailed Google twice about clicks, when I've got Click Bombed!!!!

    I click once in a while - Adsense gets the relevance right in most cases.

    Me too. As long as the ad print is good and it's something I might be after, I've clicked.

    A better question to ask would be how many of you actually made a purchase following an adsense click?

    How many people people purchase after they watch a commercial. The ads aren't as much for clicks as they are for branding....

    I hardly ever click. Probably 1 click for every 2000 pages I see.

    I click on many ads daily.
    Especially sites which are owned by webmasters as i know how much they work to earn from them { no not wantedly only if the ads are pleasing }

    Of course I click on adsense ads if I look for something and I find that on adsense ad. I don't have any problem with that. That's why google ads are there to click on them.

    I click because I am always open for opportunities and if I find something of interest to me I have to click.

    I click whenever an interesting ad is displayed, though a friend of mine has this philosophy:

    "because it seems that nobody clicks on my Google Ads I avoid to click onto others, particularly on those sites where there are people who dislike me"

    his weird point of view, not mine ;)

    i believe that's the reason of lots of people...They think other avoid clicking their Ads so they don't click other's too..

    I click on ads when I am interested in them, I treat them as any other search engine links, you see we never are able to know about many cool sites just because they don't top on search engines, so these ads sometimes help me out find quality new sites. :) But sometimes I like ads on my site and can't see the url, i really get pissed.
