Banner Ads

Does anyone actually click on banner ads? I'm thinking that people that click on banner ads for one of two reasons:

• They're tricked into it--the "Click here and win a prize" scenario


• They're lonely--the kind of person that answers telemarketer calls and actually considers buying something

Of course I'm quite grateful for blogspot.com to be hosting my blog. I'm just thinking that they won't get a lot of hits on that big banner ad up top. Folks interested in blogging will most likely click the "Powered by Blogger" icon below, because they're genuinely interested in setting up a blog. Kudos to the Dave Barry Blog that got me started on this. By clicking the icon.
