People often say "I wonder who clicks on search ads, because I sure don't". Turns out search history records this stuff (if you have it turned on). I've clicked on 9 ads this year, and bought products from two of them: a junk hauling company, and a balsa wood supply house. You? - ⓞnor

Wow; 3 clicks! And I thought I never had either. - Benjamin Golub

That's pretty cool. - EricaJoy

I click on quite a few search ads -- last one was for fivestarbutter.com after a search for "butter of the month club -peanut" Can you believe that there's no such thing? - Ginger Makela Riker

It would be eerie (and interesting) if search history could also track Google AdSense clicks as well. - Atul Arora

Did you order some Five Star Butter? Is it really the Best Butter on Earth? Because "deeply creamy, almost more like cheese than butter" sure does sound yummy. - ⓞnor

Nope. Didn't order any. The "more like cheese" part kind of turned me off. Plus, the $36.99 + $19.95 S&H killed it. - Ginger Makela Riker

Haha... I can tell my daughter has been using my computer: "Be Jasmine from Aladdin-brandsonsale.com/jasmine-costumes" - The other 6 times has been my wife with what I can tell from the links. Ginger, you've found a niche that hasn't been filled? I smell a start-up. - Vince DeGeorge

clicked 13 times so far this year. my most recent ad was when i was looking for a giant toilet paper roll to propose as a gag gift for a friend who's joining the peace corps - Karl Rosaen

10 click throughs... I'm not really against it. A lot of times the sponsored link at the top is exactly what I'm looking for... I kinda feel bad for them in that case. Like if I google "Virgin American" and then click through they paid for what I was already trying to find. but they got a friendfeed comment so it all evens out in the end :) - Frankie Warren

LOL... you can search sponsored links. Just in case you want to increase your click rate :) http://www.google.com/sponsor... - Frankie Warren

I have about 10, but nine of those were me LOOKING for spam. Some guy kept emailing me well after I told him to stop, so I searched for all the gold, forex bullshit ads and signed him up. Problem solved. Thanks Google! - @baratunde

I wonder how I could click on them at all, as all my browsers have it Noscript- and Adblock-disabled, and I tend to avoid clicking into anything not my topic at all? - piikummitus

@Vince: lol - j1m

wow. only June 18th? feels like a lifetime ago. - Ginger Makela Riker

May 3... only instance recorded - Michael W. May

I don't have search history enabled. I just enabled it, installed the toolbar, thought about the privacy implications, shuddered, and uninstalled it. When Viacom wants to know what I read, they'll have to sue my ISP and t-mobile. :-) As for ads, I honestly don't click on them. :-) - Joanmarie
