Seriously, is anybody fooled by this? The blinking ads are the only ones that I won't click.

I often click-through the ads to support the site, because generating the traffic of the click-throughs will eventually mean increased revenue. But companies who put up the "punch the monkey" and "If it's flashing, you're a winner" ads don't need my traffic.

you gotta be careful with those.

Sometimes if I click one of those, my anti-virus goes ape-shat when the clicked to site tries to dump a half a dozen trojans (viruses not condoms) on my site.

For the love of Pete, Rodney, please, please, please wear a box of condoms. We don't need any spawn of Rodney happening.

Few can , Matt_G.

And I just never click on banner ads, even interesting ones. If they lead to a site I find interesting I'll type in the URL myself to avoid various cookies and adware.

You won too? No way, I just won. How many winners can there actually be?

You guys couldn't have possibly won. I already did!

And I don't click on ads. Like, ever.
