But as people became more familiar with browsing, they started recognizing these top spots as ads and preferred to click on the organic search results instead.<\/p>\n<p>The same trend applies to ads that appear in social media feeds on platforms like Facebook or those that show up automatically on news sites and blogs. Fewer people are clicking on these ads compared to before.<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, frequent internet users tend to avoid clicking on ads, while people who don\u2019t use computers or smartphones often might click on ads without much thought.<\/p>\n<p>Because of this, fully specialized services and advanced B2B offerings may not perform as well in click-throughs as popular consumer products and services.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, even if click-through rates are relatively low, they\u2019re still a few percent\u2014and in some cases, certain well-designed ads can achieve rates as high as 20-30%.
