Interesting short article here about a higher percentage of mobile advertising click through rates and that it may actually be due to design rather than genuine interest.

Stubby fingers may be the reason many consumers end up checking out advertisements on smartphones and tablet computers.

Do any of you who follow your stats closely notice whether or not you have higher CTR from mobile visitors vs desktop -- that would confirm what is said in this story?
