If so then all members could do the same and it will help the forum ... or have I got this arse about ?
Yes it does help each time a banner ad is genuinely clicked. I wouldn't encourage clicking all the banners, then closing them! These will simply count as invalid traffic with Google Ad-senses algorithm.

Then why is admin allowing it if there is no return or benefit for the space ?

signed .. confused... :)
There is a benefit, without Google Adsense supporting us, this forum would not exist! :thumbsup:

Every click and impression helps, but I don't actively encourage it. It kind of goes without saying...

Yep, the types of ads can be targeted specifically to you based on your recent browser search history.

Google does have some reasonably advanced technology! There is a bit of info here for anyone interested:

THX for the explanation Jon, I usually open any links in another tab just to have a sticky beak for anything fishing related.

Good to hear the site does get some benefit from it.... :thumbsup:
He who has the most fishing rods WINS ! :ts:
