Why are there so many banner ads everywhere?

How many of you actually 'click' on banner ads from websites you are on?

  • From all the zillions of banner ads I see when on sites, I think I may have clicked on two ads... How many do you click on?

  • Answer:

    Current "Click Through Rates" or number of times a banner is clicked by viewers is about 1% of the time. CTR has been steadily declining year by year as more people become wise about ignoring the claims and the damage potential of jumping off to unknown sites.

Nope! Never. I'm too afraid to!

I don't, unless I know it's going to subsidize a private board that I'm a member of.

Never

No Never. For the fear they will inundate me with spams. If I am curious, I place the mouse, read the URL that appears at the bottom, retype that in the space in IE and go from there. Although, that is also rare. I may have done it like this may be once..... There is nothing on the internet that I cannot get on my own. I do not need to click on any ads. I guess it is just me. I will put this question on my watch list because it is interesting. I want to know how many do this way.

I do if it's super interesting & a good looking site. I won't if it's something common like MSN or something you see everywhere you go, but that's not to say that the ad didn't work. I may see that ad and decide to go to the website later.

Try not to click on any.... cookies... spyware... viruses... Not fun ;)
