 Personally I avoid it in every possible way, + I also avoid clicking on sponsored links through Google search , Few months ago there was a phishing blockchain app on top of Google search for search query " Blockchain app " , although they took it down after few reports.

 I recommend to use AdBlock Plus if someone is not using it yet.
For Google Chrome : AdBlock Plus
For Mozilla Firefox: AdBlock Plus

Nope, absolutely not i always use no flash and addblocker. This is how they display browse to Save Ads Pop-up.
Even i would have no extension or whatsoever i would never click on those adds.  Undecided

I think it is safe.
About flashing another url, that is usually to update the click count on some database, I guess.

Depends, if the ad serves you Flash or Java content, or some malicious PDF, then maybe.

When I say safe, I mean will it contract viruses/malware/wallet stealing trojans, etc on your computer?  For example, I clicked on an ad from bitcoinwisdom that led to amazon... but i know it flashed another URL before that....

I'm sure any input would be greatly appreciated and helpful to a lot of us.
