“Who clicks? It might be NOBODY.
If advertisers finally “get it”, they would stop bombarding us with their ads? I suspect they know the truth very well, – but will never stop it on their own!

This is great news (apart from answering a question I’ve been wrecking my mind over since the beginning of the web). Can’t you just target those midwestern elderly ladies and rural trinket junkies and leave the rest of us alone? It could be as simple as detecting if I’m someone who likes to click on shit. The more I click on ads, the more ads I get. If I don’t click, I will eventually not get served any more ads and I can stop entering selectors into Adblock+ to unblock videos on a page. That’s actually one cookie I’d never delete from my computer, the cookie that identifies me as an ad luddite.

I sometimes comes across ads that honestly, just seem interesting so I click on them. I’m sure there are many instances where people don’t know they are clicking on ads and I’ve seen many sites try to incorporate ads on the in such a way that the ad looks like content on the site.

observing students (11-14) in my IT class and during free time, I noticed that many of the students clicked on ads in error as they were the most obvious item on screen (flashing and bouncing around as they all do. I haven’t had time to do a quantitive study on this, but anecdotal evidence points that there are many factors involved.

I’ve always thought that CPC was a lousy model and CPM fit a lot better with the traditional advertising model… these findings just support my ideas!

I generally pay no attention to most ads, but when I see a smoking hot chick with half her ass hanging out, I click it immediately… as long as my girlfriend isn’t around. I’ve never actually signed up for the site it went to though.
