do you trust the advertisements
I'll click on add banners sometimes. I clicked on the adds for Zee Stuff & Looking for Group on 8-Bit Theater's site. However since I know Brian checks that stuff out and doesn't use any form of automated ads I was reasonably sure they were safe. Also back when I read mega-tokyo I clicked on their Think Geek ad.
Sometimes when doing a search I'll click on a "recomended link" or "featured sites" if they look like what I was searching for which is basically an ad.
Other then that I can't think of an add I ever clicked on. I just think automated ads are dangerous, no offense project wonderful.
I clicked on a banner for FRRREEEE screen savers. Once. And I will never again.
It took me to a site with all those really pretty animated screen savers of fishies in aquariums and waterfall landscapes. Clicked one, so it began to install. The second it did, AdAware alerted me of adware infecting my system. I ignored it. During the installation, it put three more adware thingies on my disk. Eventually, upon completing the installation, my puter crashed because it couldn't stand the ensuing flood of adware.
Pay-per-click - yes. Ads - no. NO.
I play a couple of non-browser games from time to time, and I see their ads for more games. I've clicked on a couple that peeked my interest, and my computer was fine.
And then there's Project Wonderful. Not a bad word to be said.
But if they're promising money, can tell your future, or look like they have fun games with the promise of prizes, I stay far away from them. No amount of beating up a hobo for free would make me want a PS3.
Ugh, adverts… They're directed to the mass of idiots who, sadly, somehow discovered how to turn on the computer and hop on the Internet. Seriously, how can anyone believe those things?
But yeah, the pay-per-click ads are fine. I tend to stay away from all kinds of ads, though.
Depends - most of the adverts I see on Myspace, Yahoo, etc I wouldn't click on to save my life.
Now adverts on my fellow webcomics - I click on those all the time. I've gotten exposed to some really awesome stories that way. That and it's supporting someone's work I love. Gets them a better CPC and CPM and hopefully more folks will monetarily support their site if I at the moment cannot. ^_^

I usually disregard those but now that you brought it up like that… I might just continue to disregard them… but I'll feel bad about it.
