View Poll Results: Are you more likely to click on google ads rather than the banner ads?
Well, after about a couple of months of using gmail, I really like the Ads that they put on the site: very cool!
The question I want to ask is, do most people feel this way? Do you think that more people on my site will click the google ads than on the banner ads, say?

Rep:
1. GMail is a possible invasion of privacy, although 1GB of email is good. It's a backup email for me.
2. I don't like any ads. I'm on 28K, I don't need some crap about C# programming books clogging up my connection, it's already stressed enough.
I signed up for Adsense some weeks ago, for my website(mentioned in my sign.)
I guess its better than other pay per click programs ,I have found more ppl clicking on Google ads, previously i was trying cj.com but rarely anyone clicked on their ads.
It also saves you from the effort of choosing relevant ads for your pages. Moreover text ads are less annoying than flashing banners!
this is a as-per-my-case basis, but sometimes when friends ask for help with a certain software or something, instead of searching for resources the Google AdSense makes finding info easier although on a more general term, they may not be totally useful........relevant but not useful. e.g. someone asking instructions on how to remove a certain virus from his machine would most likely trigger ads from non-free av products instead of webpages that might provide workarounds like registry editing and stuff.
i dont like them, they never seem to actually be about what they say they are about (though ive never used your web site so i don't know about that) I dont click em anymore. They are much less annoying however.
Things i hate: Flash, Java, and Ad's
( i am easily annoyed)
edit: oh yeah, and cookies - AAAARRGH (not the delicious kind)
