Who Actually Clicks Google Ads?

Because my page gets a respectable amount of traffic for something that has almost no direct links and no promotion whatsoever, I decided to slap Google AdSense on it. The majority of my visitors are hitting a few key tech posts that deal with somewhat specific nerd concepts that haven’t seen much love elsewhere. I want their money. All their money. You, reading this: give me your money. No? OK.

In the past few days, I’ve had a couple hundred visitors and nobody has clicked the dumb add on the right. Frankly, I’d be shocked if anyone had clicked it; I mean, who actually clicks Google ads in 2012 unless they’re on Google.com and accidentally hit a promoted search result? A few years ago, I used to click the ads of a competing tech services company so they’d have to pay for the hits cause I’m a jerk.

Do you click them? Do you know people who click them? Have you used AdWords with success? Tell me your stories.
