Roughly 100% of the times I click on a banner ad, it is not because the ad
is hiding. It is because the ad renders and reformats the screen while I'm
aiming for something else. So everything shifts down and my click hits the
ad.

I would not be at all surprised to find people doing this deliberately
(delaying the rendering with scripts to resize late) to get more clicks.
