  1. Re:Can someone explain... on Google's Smart Advertising Leads to More Clicks · · Score: 1

    I rarely click on ads (unless I'm searching google for something I want to buy) so I thought no one would click on them. I put ads on my site, to see if they really worked. It turns out that about 1-2% of the visits actually yield a click, but most of those are people who check every time I post. On the other hand, my dad's site is near 5%.

    Most of the ad clicks appear to be from casual visitors (e.g. off google or a comment like this)

    Neither are high traffic sites, but some people do click the ads.

    I must have done something wrong then, because it definitely didn't work for me.

    I did something similar at about that age - For some reason, I decided it would be a good idea to unplug the 3 1/2 inch drive while the computer was running. There were sparks and a little smoke, and a piece broke off the drive. I was left with only a 5 1/4 drive for a while.
