Don’t you have to click an ad to actually support a website like that? Did you ever click? I wouldn’t, but maybe they pay for impressions as well
No, ads are usually paid per thousand impressions.
In theory an ad blocker could retrieve the ads in the background and simply not display them… I’m not sure any actually do currently, but if advertisers are silly enough to pay simply through network traffic it’s an option.
There’s a Firefox addon that clicks all of the ads in the background in an attempt to pollute the info pool on what you actually want and also to cost people the click on their ad campaign
That’s perfectly evil in a way! Mind if I ask you what is the extension’s name?
