On purpose or by accident. I work in web advertising and I don't think I've ever purposefully clicked on an ad. I've done so by accident when there are those ones that flip up half the screen and you can't click on anything else on the page but the ad. - James Ferguson

I was trying find out who from a 1800 number calls me like 5 times a day, so I googled the number. A paid result for YellowPages.com saying, "Reverse Number Lookup" got my click.
