You go on a webpage for whatever reason and you see flashy banner ads. Do you click on them or pretend like they aren't there. If you click have you purchased, followed instructions etc from that ad?

I don't think I have ever clicked on something and actually followed the link and have purchase or followed through what it was advertising. So pretty much it doesn't really work for me. Just wondering if anyone else actually buys into the ad.

I've never clicked on one, no. But then these ads cost nothing to run, so they're built around the expectation of maybe a .1% conversion rate if that.

Are you asking because you're thinking of advertising this way, or because you're curious as to how they make money?

No I have no desire to invest into the idea. I was just wondering if people actually used it. I was just on msn.com after logging out of hotmail and saw 3 different ads that pop onto my screen. TSN.ca has the same thing expect there are these flash ads that you have to find where the close button is located.

I never had an interest in these ads, but then again my interests are generally different than I know. So I figured, people might click on them....


By the way, to those people answering to Firefox, im not talking pop ups... im talking about the rectangular ads that you find usually on the top, or sides of a webpage. Those kind of ads you can't block.

I find those ads really really annoying, especially when it keeps poping out over something I'm trying to read.

I think they do it for general "brand awareness" and not so much of trying to monetize my internet actions.

It's mostly big "life style & entertainment" companies/products, like fashion, alcohol, movies using them...or atleast from what I've noticed. Maybe thats because the nature of the websites I visit???...I dunno.

PS. If you stop going to so many porn sites maybe you're computer won't get infected by all of those popups.
