Default Re: An observation about Ad clicks

That's an interesting point. But there is so much PPC competition in the Make Money online type niche. Aren't these advertisers likely to be targeting people who spend a lot of time online?

Default Re: An observation about Ad clicks

I read an article today that said 26000 people per day will be 65 years and older this year. Not muck of this year left but do the math and you'll see that is still a lot of us.

Does this mean these people will be on the Net? Not necessarily. It simply means there are a bunch of us old fogies. We are the ones, supposedly, with the money. We do not spend our time looking for money making opportunities.

We look for money extending ideas. We don't want to outlive our income. We also want to be as healthy as we can be so we spend time reading about health foods, medicines, retirement spots, travel destinations and old fogie related likes.

What does this mean? It means the younger crowd probably should be the target for money making programs. Old people should be the target of the "be young again" fluff products.

Don't know if this helps but I see it everyday.

Just my 2¢...

Default Re: An observation about Ad clicks

In Gordon's post he says:

"Almost all click through ads are INVISIBLE to me. I really don't even see them."

seems to be true for a majority of us old timers. Maybe we have selected vision or just don't care about ads but they are certainly invisible. I know I don't even look at the ads unless the title catches my eye or I think the material will provide a piece to the puzzle.

I was gonna include that in my previous post but plum forgot. See, when I say old fogie, I'm not kidding.

Default On the other hand...

I was talking to an attorney last week who retired after 30 years in practice. He told me that he had made some mistakes along the way and all he had now for income was his social security check.

I doubt that he's an ad clicker, but I'd bet he would be interested in a money making opportunity if someone knew how to get one in front of him.
