Click monkeys finally captured, studied

Some people have expressed surprise at a recent study revealing that just 6% of users account for 50% of banner ad clicks.

Apparently these “natural born clickers” are likely to be relatively low income, and disproportionately interested in auctions, gambling and finding a new job.

Can’t say I can see anything surprising there.

What is a little more surprising is the complete absence of correlation between click activity and brand awareness or preference. Ouch. That’s gotta hurt.

Lots of coverage in the usual places.
