What is the phone number for Empire windows? got nothin


As you can see, this s**t gets ingrained in our head and thats what the advertisers pay anandtech for as much as for click throughs. I'm sure they have a way of seeing how many adds are actually viewed.

Same.

I also have to pay a monthly stipend to Ns1 to post here.

KT

What sort of benefits do you get with that?

He does not withhold the reach-arounds when you pay the fee

I have never in my nine years of internet browsing clicked on an advertisement out of interest in making a purchase. I do occasionally click an ad to support a site I enjoy. Am I abnormal?

Ahh, so you opted for the gold plan too, good stuff and welcome to the club.

I picked yes, even though I don;t.

I've actually clicked a few of the ads on here since I was curious. They're all tech ads so some are bound to catch my eye. Although at a certain point there was one ad that was constantly flashing and I had to block that

I don't know what "Ninten" is, and I've never heard of Empire Windows.

I don't buy Zest soap, and I buy store-brand pizza, no Digiorno. I do have State Farm insurance, but only because it's what my parents used.

except when you're watching tv and a commercial comes on, the ad is all you are watching. internet banners get much less attention

 

[Bill Brasky]

I use no script, but I go through every now and then and click all the adds.

 

[Captante]

YAAAAAAAAAAAARRR!!!!!!

We're not blocking them so we won't be tempted into clicking them. :laugh: It makes the page look much cleaner without ads.

 

[BoomerD]

The ads don't bother me, so no adblocker for me. Helps keep the site from becoming a pay-site, and that's good.

Only one I knew was the first one. I could guess my way through the "Ninten-don't" one, because there are only a limited number of companies that are Nintendo competitors...

Like a good neighbor, STATE FARM is there.

I only knew state farm.

Anandtech (I believe) still gets to tally "web page views" ... essentially like "Sweeps Week" on TV.

Their ad space (I'm really guessing at all this) is priced based on the likely exposures presented to the general population (same with TV and people that Tivo the shows then block / FF through the commercials)

Anandtech isn't selling the advertisers so many guaranteed clicks, they're selling so many likely exposures to the user community, so even if you have ads blocked, they are still getting credit for page exposures.

Whatever.

ZING!

No ad blocker. Never click on an ad since it could be or cause spam or a virus.

Hate flash - cpu hog and unstable but some sites don't work right or complain without it.

Don't even click on links in search - get root url and type it in.

I could only answer State Farm. I don't see how your argument is relevant - you can only remember something after you've experienced it, so if you never see an ad, you won't be affected by any.
