I see adverts almost every page I go on nowadays and it's mainly when I see the dodgy ones saying, I earn £70k a year from home with bad graphics that I think who clicks these :S

I don't think I've ever intentionally clicked on one, if anything I just google search it because I trust it more for some reason.

Does anyone click the ads?

Not those ones, no - but people who aren't aware that these are essentially spamware will.

I click on ones on websites that I trust, not because I want anything, just to help them out a bit.

Well when I'm doing online shopping then the items always pop up in ads afterwards, so sometimes I click on them but that's about it!!

I disable adblock on the websites I support. I don't click ads but I have them load and display on specific sites for sure.

I never click them, unless by accident.

The majority of them just look kinda dodgy so I stay well away

Ugh, I usually click ones when they're like on online stores I've recently visited, showing items I've looked at.

I generally ignore them but I'll click them if they interest me.

I have, but only if a friend wants me too to gain them a few pence :P

I also get extra excited when I see a Habbo advert and I'm like "OMG ITS HABBO AHHHHHHHHHHH SPAM CLICKS"

I'm really curious to know how much Habbox makes from ads xxMATTGxx (A) Most of the ads at the top of HxF are not for teenagers, like atm I see an ad for capital shares :S

Loosing quite a bit of money due to people using adblock actually.

Don't have access to it but I know adverts alone could provide the costs of the hosting but now it doesn't.

I'm the same, I'll occasionally click an ad on Habbox but other than that, never.

I don't usually you never know if an add is genuine or not. I've heard a lot of genuine sites have been discovered to have dodgy adverts on them as they are through a system they don't have control over.

My dad on the other hand seems to always click them. I've told him a number of times adverts that claim to be scanning your computer for viruses and finding stuff are just videos and show the same for everyone but he never learns. I'm always cleaning his computer from toolbars and stuff.

It depends what advert it is, if you know what I mean ;)

I never knew so many people used Adblock. I thought it was for GoogleChrome only. I don't get bothered by adverts tbh, only on YouTube (I don't use my laptop for catchup TV really).
