  • Disinclined to acquiesce to your request.
As I've said many times, it's not my business model, it's yours. If you're not getting enough revenue from your advertising, how is that my fault? Guess you need a new model.
Still no reason to upgrade...

The best (i.e., most effective) ad is the kind you never have to click on. If your revenue-generation scheme is so flawed that you need to ask people to click on ads, don't you think there's a problem, not with the people, but with your process?

If people aren't clicking on ads on your site, then maybe you have a crappy process for what ads are chosen.

Or maybe it's also to do with the fact that there has been a huge shift in userbase from desktops/laptops to mobile devices (phones, tablets, etc.), and your ads don't really show up there?

How about analyzing your methods and using a little bit of introspection as opposed to thinking that your users are intentionally not clicking ads.

I can't remember ever clicking on an ad intentionally on any website. But you don't need someone to click on an ad in order to convert your ad to a purchase. It just sucks that you chose click-throughs as your revenue-generation.

Thank you, no-script thumb.gif

I wondered just how many years these marketing agencies and such were going to go before they realized these banner ads and things are a total loser.

I wonder the average IQ of the people who get their info/products from banner ads...they should do a study.

Do people honestly visit those ads anyway?
It's tangibly the same experience as ordering something over the phone just because you were cold called by a telemarketer.
