Many bloggers are in this for the money. Most run some form of ads as income generators. When visiting others blogs, do you give the blogger a courtesy click or two?

all the best...

No, I never do that. Wouldn't that be considered click-fraud anyway?

Probably... I do sometimes look for something interesting to visit.

I purposely dont click on obvious ads unless I am strongly interested

I never click an ad out of courtesy. Why would you even consider that? If the ads that is on the site happens to be one I am paying for, I would hope that they weren't being clicked simply out of "courtesy" to the webmaster.

This strikes me as a very dishonest practice.

I do no ignore the ads, however. If there is something that is of interest to me, I will follow the link. That is what they are there for.

I click if I'm interested in the offer, never just to run the guy's earnings up.

Just think about it like this, would you like yourself running a campaign on Adsense and having someone give your ad a "courtesy click" ?

**IsMaR** · 07-22-2006, 10:20 PM

i often click, but out of interest, I dont even think about the webmaster getting paid...

**jonwes** · 07-22-2006, 11:13 PM

Some truly fair and honest answers.
It's obvious by now that I'm new to this.
The learning curve is nearly vertical.

Ever since I learned and implemented Contextual ads, I never click any of them.

Ya, I agree with most everybody on this thread. I don't click unless I'm interested in the ad.

Never, I'm ad blind anyway. ;p

I sometimes click when I'm interested and sometimes even only if the ad has a text that makes me currious what it's about.
