According to a survey commissioned by Tesco, more than half (60 per cent) of portal users are female and the same percentage said they visit the portal at least once a month, while 69 per cent claimed they would click on a relevant advert.&quot;</em><br /><br />Does this surprise you that so many females are clicking on the ads? How do you feel about mobile ads? Do you click on them often? I'm not saying I have never clicked on one but I don't do it often. I already feel that I'm advertised to death but it seems to generate the bucks for the merchants so I only see it increasing. I'd love to hear reasons why women seems to be more responsive than men when it comes to mobile ads.
