I've come to the conclusion that regular members do not click adds. Because of this I recently chose to only show ads to non-registered people.

That's not fully true. It really depends on the site itself. If you have a popular forums with many members, then some will click the ads to help support the site. But, yes, most ad clicks do come from guests.

Exactly, and sometimes search bots will "Click" on the ads too, right? Its possible.

Great tutorial too, really helpful, I'll take your advice! :D

Thanks for the helpful advice. Depending on your content making the ads relateable to your site's content can help increase click rate as well.
