  Old  Do you do it?

Ok if you visit a website and find it usefull what do you do? Well I normally click a google add to give them a bit of money. In fact most websites I visit I click a google ad atleast once, maybe Im just to friendly and like to help the owner out. But does anyone else here click a google ad on a site even though your not interested in whats on offer?

Don't flame if your an advertiser

I click ads if I really like the site or if I want to learn more about the ad.

Clicking on ads just because you like someone’s site is totally out of order. It’s people like you that are destroying the PPC industry with fraudulent and pointless clicks.

As an advertiser myself I can vouch for how annoying it is to spend money on a campaign for half of the money to go because people like you think it’s a good idea to click on ads just because you like the site or because your friend asked you to. Please think of the advertiser next time your trying to “be friendly”.

I agree 100%, clicking for your gain, or somebody elses gain is politically incorrect. :mad:
