I probably click on 1 ad a month completely by mistake, and maybe another one just from curiosity, and then from searching something I have a good idea of where it is but I'm lazy to look it up, and when I see the link on top (sponsored) I click it just for kicks...

I'm probably not the average user, but if you multiply that by a few million people, it can def. add up

When was the last time you bought something after clicking on a google ad? Or at least, when did you bookmark a website you got to through AdSense? Two simple metrics that I bet most people have never done through googads

google is already trying new things to make sure you just dont click by accident, such as making you do something to pay you (ie, sign up for a newsletter, actually BUY a product), but if they were to do that fully, they'd loose a lot of revenue as I feel that most people that click on ads do so by accident or out of curiosity, not necessarily with the intent of actually purchasing a product or a service

I second the suggestion... I have to come back here often to see whether there are replies or not

I'm interested in the relationship between the idea creator and the coder.

I have the idea, but I can't program for the life of me. I've outsourced to people in China but I need to have someone local who can take care of the small stuff.

It just seems that if I find somebody I'll just be telling them what to do while I sit and watch them code...

How do you deal with this?
