8% of Internet Users Account for 85% of all Ad Clicks
- ankeshk 17y agoWhat is of interest is does that 8% comprise of the same people? Or does it change? When Michael Dell was young and selling newspaper subscription, he found that only 2 kinds of people bought newspaper subscriptions. Those who just got married. Or those who just shifted homes. Out of the total population, maybe 5% fit this criteria. But the people who form this 5% change constantly. (I don't know if its 5% or 7% or 10% - pulled it out of thin air to make a point.) So if the % of clickers fluctuates or even goes down, but the people who form the clickers group keep on changing, then online advertising makes a lot of sense.
- flyingbertman 17y agoIf that 8% is anything like myself, 90% of the ads I click are because my touch pad thought I wanted to click when I wanted to move the cursor. The other 10% would be an outrageous claim and I just had to see the other side of the door.
- socratees 17y agoI never click on any ads. Didn't install Ad blocker because that's how sites make money. I seriously believe ads' can't make someone buy a product right away, they essentially serve as a billboard that we see on the highway. At least that how i look at it as of now.
