Just doing a mini survey. Personally, I don't even notice advertising but clearly it must work as companies are doing it......

I find most advertising just plain intrusive, which I guess is because most advertising doesn't grab your attention?

I never click on advert banners. I was browsing the PH classifieds the other day and this annoying advert kept moving down the page as I scrolled. I found it that intrusive that I closed the site and went on autotrader.

I block them on the laptop but if on the tablet/phone then I have clicked them by accident but only because they suddenly expand and take up half the screen! Every time I tell myself I specifically won't buy from that company ever again, problem is I can't actually remember what those companies were.

They do put me off browsing on a mobile device, I need to be exceedingly bored to be willing to put up with them.

In short: no.

Adblock Plus and Ghostery here too.

The internet is a much nicer place without adverts everywhere.

I have clicked on the odd one by accident when it's paused. Haven't found anything very interesting.

My iPad comes up with "Safari cannot download this file". For both these programs. Has someone got wise to them and blocking our attempt to block the ads?
