<b>Linked Title</b>
Advertiser's ad text here
www.advertiser-url.com

I don't know if this is the way it is ever since but I noticed in other websites that when I click the ads pointing my mouse to the linked title, it wont go through.

I cannot recollect if this was the way it is before. It may be the reason also why my number of clicks in my own website drop tremendously.

Why in the world that the "Linked Title" when you click wont go through?

Have you noticed it?

When I roll over mine, the entire ad is clickable.

Thanks for reply,

That's when you roll over the mouse at the Title Linked? Have you tried clicking the Title? It won't go through.

First of all, MY clickthrough rate hasn't gone down one iota, so I'm skeptical there has been a systemwide change causing your clicks to crash.

Second, doing test clicks on other websites, or encouraging others to do so, is really no better than doing them on your own. You're still causing random advertisers to foot the bill for your curiosity.

BTW, I don't mean to bite your head off. I presume that your clicks were mostly or all legitimate clicks on ads you were interested in. But A LOT of people will ultimately read this thread, and there's no point in having them all go off and try those same curiosity clicks.

Well, whatever you may say. If this thread deserves to be removed so be it. I've just posted my observation in good faith.
