Clicking on one quickly takes you out of the browser and into a downloadable experience - an experience plagued by a 1% conversion rate it is worth noting. I can't see why someone would be more likely to download a piece of software from a blog/web page than a game portal like Yahoo or Pogo. In fact, unless there is a lot of trust in that blog/web page, I'd argue that folks are less likely to download from there than a portal.
