You actually don't even need the poll. The truth is the average consumer will never click an add when on a site. The average % for a well paying web site is still under %1 so normally need a TON of web traffic in order to create a solid business model. Depending on the bandwidth that you are using this still may not be a lot of income. That is why selling ads per view can almost always be more effective. Companies looking for brand identification and not clicks will often pay more for sites with higher page views on ads that get the most face time with visitors.

The sad fact is, this poll will probably be inaccurate because members will say they click ads when almost certainly they are not. I can say that I never do, but it is nothing against the actual site. It is simply because my mind has completely blocked out ads from view and I don't see them on any web site. If and when I remember I will click them, but normally i come here for information and so my primary is to find that info. Once I am done I forget about the ads once again.

To be honest, I would much rather pay someone directly anyway since google is taking most of the revenue from the click. My best contribution is using your skills for coding and paying a flat out price. At least this way I know you're getting all the money.

If I see an ad that interests me, I'll click it. That's what they're there for, yes?
