Chris-

Something new I learned is that sometimes ads don’t need clicks, just impressions (eye balls). Usually, with the web properties I work on anyway, these ads just need impressions, but clicks are, of course, highly desirable. This may not be the same with these Microsoft PPC like ads, and I am sure it is not like that with Google AdSense ads.

Any thoughts?

@ hyveup – I have also heard that it might be because the M$ ads don’t work in Firefox.

@ Jake – looks like it

@ Lyndon -

Digg adds annoy the heck out of me and I’ve never click 1 – ever.

Flashy banners and contextual adds in your face all the time.

There was one campaign for SNORG TEES a while ago which was so prevalent on the site that I exhausted from over exposure and will never visit their site; ever.

Great looking out Chris on spotting this browser based testing. It’s interesting to see it actually in transition. So do the guys at aQuantive have their work cut out for them?

Actually, that’s a brilliant ad strat. Never heard of contextualized (Digg crowd) browser-based ad-targeting before. I did now. tx. However, 1.Lyndon’s got a point: who clicks those?
