When it makes sense NOT to click Google AdSense Ads
There’s an interesting thread on WebmasterWorld started by a user who thinks it’s cool to click on random AdSense Ads as and when he visits a web site. Apparently the intentions are good ones, and the WebmasterWorld member claims he’s helping out the web site’s publisher by clicking an Ad when he first visits the site.
The majority of people responding on the forum were outraged by the idea he was doing the web site owner a favor. One reply stated “Your argument amounts to idealism without the sentry of logic.” The general consensus was that the AdWords advertiser will lose large amounts of money for these random clicks, and that’s just not right.
I’ve only been playing with AdSense Ads for just over a week on this site, but have been aware of the increasing number of “Ads by Gooooogle” for quite some time now. My logic is quite simple - if they catch my interest, I click them, if they don’t, I don’t!

i don’t think you should click on any ads if you are not willing to spend any money.Also check out my conversation with the adsense team.It has some really unknown information.
