I often click on ppc ads if they look promising. If I'm searching for something, very often the ppc ads are more relevant than a lot of the junk "directory" sites that turn up in the organic results. And I'm not some granny in the midwest... I would consider myself a savvy internet user who has placed many adwords ads on my sites. I often click on ppc ads if they look promising.

I would wager that 'less savvy' users often mistake these ads as genuine results in the search results and elsewhere, and therefore click on them. This is just a guess, but it may explain at least a portion of the clicks... Cheers, Aidan www.MappingTheWeb.com Hey Mark,

I have also wondered about who clicked my ads (but not complained, of course). Clearly it was a topic of concern to Google as well. As I wrote on my blog, they disabled my account as a "financial risk" without any explanation last week. I wonder if it is part of a broader effort to respond to advertiser concerns?

That's the greatest thing ever. If I were an elderly woman living in the Midwest U.S. reading your blog, I'd probably say otherwise. “It turns out the heavy clickers are mostly older women living in the Midwest U.S. Their biggest interest is sweepstakes.”
