Do you click on NP members sites ads?

[kubativity]

When you see a np members domain advertised here, are you likely to click an ad on their site or network?

No, I would only click on an ad if I had actual interest in what was being advertised. To just click on an ad for the sole purpose of generating income for somebody else is an ethical issue.

I will click it if i feel that i want to visit the desired site. About 95% of the time when i do click one i find out that it is not what i want to visit and close it rather fast.

Only if I see something of interest, than I will click to see what it's all about.

I'd only click the ad if the URL wasn't available. I go direct to save advertisers a little money.

I don't think I've ever found much useful by clicking on ads... Other than back when I was a noob and typed ebay.com into Google to get to the site rather than typing it in the address bar :lol:

Cybertonic's ads on Namepros (Domaining.com, PremiumDomain.com) are the only ones I've clicked this year I believe.

I only click if I want to see what a particular parked page for sale looks like --- but, only to look at the parked page and I never click on the ads on the parked page.

I click on those many times too.

It seems to be a trend that is getting more prevalent as the years go by overall with ad clicking

seems to me that webmasters especially rarely click ads, but generally in the overall public I think legitimate clicking is getting rarer (scary as a huge part of the internet economy relies on people clicking and buying things)

I don't remember when I clicked ads last time. Maybe back in 2005.

Although I do not click on ads in general, unless I am interested in the domain, my click through ratio for affiliate sites is still pretty decent.

When you think of ads, I think you need to differentiate between, say, niche product/review type ads versus generic, 'shoot the bouncing target and win a chance for an ipod' ad. If an ad is targetted to the specific audience, it will get click throughs, regardless of whether it is a banner, or text ad.

One thing I did notice is that, for about a month, there, I was getting 100-150 uniques a day at StupidPeople.tv , and I could not figure out the sudden influx of hits until I realized I had linked to the site in my sig, here at Namepros. Not saying that 'stupid people' is relevant to Np, hehe, just saying maybe there are people looking for a humor site to pick up or some such, or maybe they understood that there would be some funny vids located there.

Yeah I click on people's sigs alot too, wasn't considering that an ad in my response above.

One of my sites had almost 1500 uniques over 4 months of being promoted in my sig and the current site promoted in my sig is getting about 20-25 uniques from Namepros daily.

I click on sigs all the time as well just to see what people are doing with their domains.
