iPhone users browse the net the most, look at ads the least

Bad news for mobile advertisers comes from this US study from the Chitika Network.

It shows that mobile advertising click-through rates are barely half those of the already derisory online rates – 0.48 vs 0.83%.

iPhone users were even less likely to click through to ads, scoring 0.30%. This is despite the fact that iPhone users account for the bulk of mobile Internet browsing – 66%.

So, unfortunately your ad may well leave over 199/200 mobile and 299/300 iPhone users cold…unless, as another study shows, you offer them some kind of amazing freebie of course.
