   Hey Sean,

I’ve got a question about ads. Do you gain revenue every time I log onto the site and see the ad, or do I actually have to click on it? If the latter, I think we in the community could make the very minor commitment to click on ads when we see them, if it will help keep great resources afloat.

To the contrary, they are hoping that since I watch the commercials I may end up buying something I wasn’t originally intending to. It seems that if I go to a website it increases the likelihood that I will buy. Obviously an automated program generating clicks is fraud, but a real person checking out a real website, even if not with a pre-formed intent to buy, seems like what advertisers would like.
