(...) It depends on the ad. Some ads pay out on a cost-per-view, and others pay out on a cost-per-click. It is up to the advertiser to decide how they want their ad to work in this regard. This is actually a good thing, because some advertisers just (...) (17 years ago, 17-Jul-07, to lugnet.publish, FTX)

(...) Hmm, guess I won't do that then. It does see odd to me. The idea of advertising is the more eyeballs the better. My TV doesn't penalize me for watching the commercials even if I don't buy anything. To the contrary, they are hoping that since I (...) (17 years ago, 17-Jul-07, to lugnet.publish, FTX)

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 (...) (17 years ago, 17-Jul-07, to lugnet.publish, FTX)
