As a webmaster, do you ever click on Google ads (not your own of course) ?

I'm using adblock, so most of the ads don't even display on my comp.

But, on some places I find really useful and I came regularly (and as long as there is no popup or such), I white list the site.
And if I see an ads interesting to me, yes, I'll click on it.

If it is something that interests me then I do.

On my own blog it is hard because we're not suppose to but when it's possible I write down the url of the interesting ad and visit the site.

I click on useful ads from useful sites...there isn't any other combo that appeals to me in that regard.

I do, only if I find the ads interesting. That means very rarely!

I try to click more often on other people's sites, now that I'm using google ads on my site. It doesn't cost me any money, and sends a few cents along to the webmaster of the site.

This is great as long as you are interested in the ads...we don't want to hurt those who use Adwords.

Good point kline11 - I hadn't thought of it from that perspective.

btw, be very careful about soliciting google adsense clicks. It's a violation of Google's terms of service. Once banned, you're banned for life, and my friend had it happen to him a couple of months ago.

It was just a joke, but I'll edit it anyway...I am paronoid.

Ads? What are ads?

Oh, that's right. They're the reason I use AdBlocker Pro.

Just like any other consumer, if I see something interesting I will click. Rarely do I see something interesting enough to click.
