How often do you click on ads?

I never used to click on ads. In fact I used to avoid them like the plague. That is until I started using them myself.

Now any time I am on a site that I like, I make sure to browse through their ads, and if I happen to see something that even remotely sparks my interest, I click it mostly because I know the site owner will get paid for it, and secondly because it may be something I am interested in.

My question is, how often, if at all do you click on sponsored links? How often do you even bother to look at them?

Have you ever clicked on a sponsored link on YE?

Never ever. I come here to interact not to be sold
Maybe one day a kick as ad will catch my attention and I may click, but until then, they (the ads) will be there unknown to my consciousness.

Very Rarely, I almost never see a unique add that sparks enough interest that I would click it.

I think the reason we feel this way is because we are on the producers side of the money, while ads are mainly targeted for consumers.
