Do you click on Google sponsored advertisements

[chandra]

Last week Google reported that it earned 300+ Million dollars last quarter in internet advertising. That is more than a $1B a year and growing at a rapid rate. A vast majority of it is by users clicking on the sponsored links that shows up to the right of Google's search results. Similarly Yahoo earns more than a billion dollars in such click through dollars.

I rarely even look at the sponsored links let alone click through. So, I was curious who clicks through. Hence the poll

Never. To my way of thinking that's just asking for trouble on the internet.

I believe I clicked thru once, maybe twice. But only when I was shopping for something to begin with. That's rare.

My experience was the same as Brownian Motion's.
