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 want their brand to be seen (like on a TV commercial) but other advertisers want you to visit them (more like a newspaper ad with a sale coupon).

And as Dan pointed out, never, never, click on ads just to generate revenue for a site owner. It’s called “Click Fraud” and it’s not allowed. It’s highly investigated, too.

I’d love to share more about the ads & revenue because I’m normally a very down-to-earth person, but the ad network’s terms of service forbid me from talking about how much money I make and other details on clickthrough rates & things.
