Google Ads

Does anyone click Google ads anymore? I wondered about this for awhile. I don't click. I can't for a few reasons. Number one is that I have an AdSense account and don't want to be accused of click fraud. I also have OpenDNS that blocks the ads, so I couldn't click if I wanted to. My husband has a similar ad blocking program on his computer. Many times the ads don't even show up on the pages he is reading.

An informal poll on I-Say, a market research and online survey company, revealed that 64.7% of people never click on Google Ads, while 29.4 rarely click.

So that would explain why revenue share sites bring writers so little money and why it seems difficult to the average person to make much money with Google AdSense.
