What blog readers want. I did a little sifting through the banner ads and stats at weblogs.com. The average click-through rate for all 689 ads is 0.60%. Below are the top six ads by click-through rate -- all of those that get 2% or more of the people who see them to click. (Note, for statistical validity, I didn't count ads that had been viewed less than 1,000 times.)
What does this tell us about what people want? I have no idea -- I don't see a pattern. Kidding, of course. Although, the inclusion of the sunrise is interesting. Also, note that geek girl beats out just sex.
